Nico- Chelsea Town Hall (Live)-***1/2
Weird Herald- Just Yesterday (about half) -**1/2
(Apparent lost psych-folk "gem" gets newly reissued. Meh. Like Moby Grape only not nearly as good.)
Bob Dylan- More Blood, More Tracks (Personal Playlist)- ****
The Cars- Heartbeat City-****
Todd Rundgren- The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect- ****
Cheap Trick- Next Position, Please- ****1/2
(Godd produces God!)
Rufus- S/T-***
Genesis- Trespass-****1/2
(The difference between the original LP and the remaster is mind-blowing. This record was never considered one of their best, and I think it's because the original record sounded like garbage. It's a whole new experience now.)

I thought the same of Weird Herald. I gave up at track 5. Will have to track down that remaster of Trespass. In spite of the murky sound of the original, I still enjoy it.

Your S.O.T.D, Chris Price’s ‘Outside Looking In’, resulted in the obligatory thread pull leading to my learning of Taylor Locke and the Roughs. Their two 2010 albums, Grain & Grape and Marathon, seem like timeless power pop and great fun! And this being the band Chris shared with Taylor, prior to his 2012 debut.
You’re probably already aware of both albums, etc.

A birdie in the hand; life's rich demand. The insurgency began and you missed it!
