10/2/25

Arthur Verocai- S/T (1972)- ***1/2
Joao Gilberto- Chega de Saudade (1959)- ****

(Two essentials out of Brazil. Nice start to the day.)

George Harrison- Personal Playlist/Weekend Mix (2025)- ****
Neko Case- Neon Grey Midnight Green (2025)- ***1/2
Sparks- Propaganda (1974)- ****
v/a Bushyard Telegraph (1974-1983)- ***12
The Flame- S/T (1970)- ***1/2

The Everly Brothers- Sing (1967)- ***1/2

(The terrible Procol Harum cover aside, this is a pretty great, almost psych pop record from Phil & Don.)

Bad Brains- Rise (1993)- ***1/2

(New singer. New drummer. More of a trendy 90's metal record than what the Brains are known for, but it's still solid, regardless of the AMG review.)

Queen- A Day At The Races (1976)- ****
Humble Pie- As Safe As Yesterday Is (1969)- ***1/2

Thanks for the inclusion of the two Dylan coves on your Harrison playlist. Both "Abandoned Love" and "Mama, You've Been On My Mind" are new to these ears.

Cast- All Change (1995)- *** (I remembered why I didn't remember this record. It's kinda flat. Nothing terrible, but no great songs ...
