What Are You Listening To Right Now (Part IV)

[Zzzptm]

Are we working in shifts?

Deep Purple - =1

[Vyn]

Crow Music, by Crow!

If I had to come up with one word to describe this album, it would be, "dated". It was dated in 1973, lol.

The entirety of side two is like a half-drunk bar band with some goofiness tossed in. If I live for another fifty years, I might listen to the whole thing again.

Set a reminder for July 2074, then.

Do like in Citizen Kane and make it your cryptic final word.

"Crow...."

This afternoon, it's Black Sabbath most well known album amongst folks who don't know anything about Black Sabbath:

[Zzzptm]

Ah yes, War Pigs, excellent album.

Something a little different on this Sunday evening:

The Batman Theme by The Marketts

It isn't the original theme rendition played on the TV shows, it is The Markett's version of it. This was actually rather popular in late 1966 when it came out!

[Zzzptm]

There were LOTS of versions of the Batman theme.

LaVern Baker, who famously had a hit with "Jim Dandy to the Rescue" did a combination of that oldie with the nanananananana Batman theme for a fun little track.

[Zzzptm]

This was giving me some chills with the vocals and the guitar work from Eddie Hazel is brain-melting good.

That's pretty cool - had not heard that before.

On the table this afternoon is Undisputed Attitude from Slayer. A mid 1990s release on two 10" disks, limited to 2000 copies. According to Discogs, there are a bunch that have the "Limited Edition" placeholder on the back cover, but no number. I suspect there were a lot more than 2000 pressed and they simply stopped numbering them at 2000 and left the cover art unchanged as they continued making them. Mine is stamped with 939.

This set has some of the fastest, most raucous performances ever cut to vinyl. Hardcore punk played by Slayer? Holy quadruple bass drums, Batman!

Had a bit of a bummer day at work, so I deal with it with Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention.

Inspired by ZZz:

[Zzzptm]

Lol yes ^

And now, because I'm getting bothered about something on the line of missing coversheets on my TPS reports as I help to get our paperwork in to bid on a potentially huge sale...

I'm doing my work, and they have no idea how glad they should be that I'm doing it remotely. I'd be the definition of "clubhouse poison" if I had to be made to drive in to take crap like that that's totally out of step with the urgency of the moment. I'm only doing this because I'm waiting for someone else to finish a section so I can review it.

Thinking of Z:

[Zzzptm]

With Flo & Eddie doing backup vocals, even! 

[Zzzptm]

And a fun Austin country song about dealing with work hassles. I got to hang out with these guys a lot when I was working at The Daily Texan. The guitar player still has my Uncle Floyd record that I lent him, for all I know.
