Disc 1 of 2, which comprises a 1970 concert at The Forum in L.A.  I am of an age where the first thing I often think about when hearing "The Jackson Five" is the Saturday morning cartoon which from 1971-72 detailed their fictionalized adventures.  (Can you guess which American TV network aired that program?  The answer, my friend, is found in the title of one of the group's early hits. ;))   So at an early age, I put the J5 in a sort of adolescent music category alongside such other Saturday morning singing cartoon idols of the 70's such as The Osmonds, Josie & The Pussycats, The Archies, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, etc. It was years before I could take the J5 seriously.  This 1970 concert features a still 11 year old Michael proving himself to be impressive performer in front of 18,000 people.

Not gonna earn me any coolness points in these parts, but I don't care.  Beautiful music, especially the definitive version of West Side Story's "Maria".

45cat - Johnny Mathis - Faithfully, Vol. III - Columbia - USA

Coolness points are over-rated. ;)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - G_d's Pee AT STATES'S END 

Another masterpiece from the only "Rock" band I still follow. 

Good to see their idiosyncratic approach to titling persists.
