Sinister: The Grevious Angel...

[Walkn10 at xxx.com]

Ok, Nick I stand corrected about being a year off as to when the Beatles 
first tripped.  Their most obvious LSD record, in my opinion, is Revolver 
which was released in '66 and written in the second of '65 so I guess we're 
both right.  Well, the McCartney songs are pretty much standard Beatle fare 
but Lennon and Harrison's tunes are more far out than anything they ever 
tried (especially Tommorrow Never Knows and She Said She Said, which 
incidentally was written about that first LSD trip).  Anyone else notice half 
the guitars on that record sound like sitars?  I'll be dodging the bricks 
now...
I bought Gram Parson's two solo records the other day and I am just simply 
amazed.  I thought Big Star and Wilco were really great, touching Southern 
Rock (tm) but Gram just blows them all to peices.  Is it just me or does he 
write the saddest songs on earth about ghosts visiting their loved ones in 
their sleep, and brides dying on their wedding day and such.  Oddly enough 
when you hear him and Emmylou belt them out its amazingly comforting and 
beautiful and not really as sad as you may think.  I guess it doesn't hurt 
that I'm a southern boy at heart so I dig the overtly country tunes as much 
as the soulful rockers...
To my good friend and long-standing Mario Kart adversary Todd Matthew 
Herrmann, I say follow Pam's advice and "go all the way to being brutal."  
Trust me, if an idiotic little minx like that claims she can dig whatever 
you're listening to then its probably not a good thing.  A few weeks back 
someone insulted Stereolab in my store and then proceeded to buy the new 
Godsmack so it all evens out.  People like that will be stupid and myopic 
their entire lives so its no use getting all upset over it, although she was 
a pretty bitchy little sort wasn't she?  
How come we haven't heard from Mrs. Lauren Tigerxdare in awhile?  I sure 
she's ok after the emotional upheaveals of the past few weeks.
Later
