Hawkwind - Electric Tepee

As we age, many of us go back to what gives us comfort. And for many of us who love music, it's often the music of our more formative listening years, whatever style/genre that may be - hard bop, Armstrong, traditional country, classic rock, old school R&B, whatever. I'm not sure that's quite the same as getting more conservative, ears-wise. Maybe it is. Or maybe if you started out with a love of diverse sounds and styles, that continued exploration is your comfort zone. So maybe continuing to do what you did earlier is a form of conservatism, since you're not changing and evolving, despite continuing to listen to new things. I dunno. Outside of music, I've noticed many of the people I knew when I was younger have become more and more conservative (politically, culturally) personally as they age. I have less and less in common with them over time.

How do you like this? Seems like a very good matchup.

I've had the original boot cd of the show since '91, but picked this up on vinyl when they officially released it a couple of years ago. The boot has a couple of additional songs that were played that night that didn't make the official release, as well. Fun informal show.

Bingo Hand Job - Live at the Borderline

Steve Kilbey - Artifacts

Terry Allen - Smokin' the Dummy

Todd Snider - First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder

XTC - Instruvenus

That's because you have fine taste, Buzzzz! I haven't picked up the sequel, suppose I should do that. This one is a fun album (understanding the concept makes it a blast to hear what they're doing), though obviously not quite the same as their studio recordings.

Yo La Tengo is Murdering the Classics

Yessir! I've got a soft spot for that particular album for some reason, but I can also acknowledge it might not be their best. That particular album has Pat Mastelotto playing drums on it. Pat's also been in King Crimson since '94. I think he's a fascinating musician.

XTC - Oranges & Lemons

Godley & Creme - L

May she Rest in Peace.

King Crimson - Epitaph

I just moved to AZ, and drive down this namesake road almost every day.

And yet you likely knew exactly which century-turn that Chuck was referring to, and still chose to be pedantic. And it wasn't less precise, either. It was a turn of the century, so it was exactly a correct phrase.

It's still the turn of the century, regardless of your attempted correction.

I just realized that as of March 2023, this board has been in existence now for 20 years! I almost missed the milestone! Want to send out a congratulations to Jim and the other staff who have helped create and sustain this forum for that long. Like many, I came here after the shuttering of the Blue Note board. Also tried a few other jazz boards, but this is the one that stuck for me. I'm not as active of a poster as I used to be, but am glad this board continues, and am glad for the new members that have been gained along the way. Also those we've lost along the way (Jazzmoose and Christiern come to mind). Also glad for the friendships that started here and have turned into real-life friendships and meetups. I've gained and learned a lot from everyone here, both on the board and as our relationships have evolved on FB and other places. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the regular live chats we used to hold, that were a great time - listening to the same albums at the same time, sharing in beverages, and sharing stories and insults. Thanks Jim, for all you've done for the past 20 years! -Erik PS - My first post was in this thread, maybe the first thread on the forum - https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/2-welcome-to-the-organissimo-forums/

I'm sure you realize, but the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid. What it does do is help minimize the effects if you do get Covid. My wife and I have both had 5 shots (I think 5 anyway), and she still got Covid just before the holidays. Her symptoms were mild. I'm pretty sure I had Covid in March 2020 (not provable because there weren't tests immediately available at the time), right when the pandemic started and before the vaccines were available, and my symptoms then were substantially worse.
