Today is Marvin Gaye's birthday. Had it not been for poor parenting, he would have been 74 on this date.

Poor parenting or not, Marvin Gaye suffered from mental illness that contributed to the circumstances leading to his death. His sister still defends their father despite his having shot Marvin.

Laura -

As a 55 year old - I hear you.

But as someone who grew up listening to 'GOR', (guitar oriented rock), like Dire Straits and early Steely Dan featuring the guitar work of 'Skunk' Baxter, I feel like I should have some of this, as it's very guitar oriented. I'll have to look for the Implode album next time I hook up with Bill.

I've got 10 years on you

and to me Dire Straits is rock n roll and Steely Dan is jazz influnced rock. Rock or rock n roll by definition meant guitars led the way although there were a few exceptions like Jerry Lee Lewis.

No matter what the provocation -- and there was plenty of that in the Gaye killing -- no rational parent shoots his child.

Roscoe, tell me more. I have never heard of either band.

Thanks

They are a local Chicago band on the Kranky label. I was blown away by them when they opened for Disappears last year. Their second LP was released on Tuesday. Much better sound quality than the first.

Pretty heavy on the distorted and fuzzed out guitars in parts. My Bloody Valentine with a dash of Pink Floyd sound tossed in.

A track is streaming here:

Not for the vinyl pure of heart that's for sure. It's a great way to listen to music without buying it for $5 a month.

If you like the Runt, get a first pressing of this one.
The later ones are really flat and lifeless by comparison.

Thanks Gene,

all of this subgenre stuff is way too weird for me. Life was simpler when all you had to know was rock, psychedelic, blues, pop, country, folk, metal, punk, jazz and classical. If someone said a band was country-rock, you had a pretty good idea of the sound. A lot of these so called new genres or sub-genres would be best described by Billy Joel, "It's Still Rock n Roll to Me."

Best,

Laura

What, no prog?

I'm still digesting Porcupine Tree/Steve Wilson.

How do define prog? Yes, king crimson, Tull, pink floyd? To me, those bands would be covered by psychedelic rock or just plain rock.

I'm sure we all know this one

roscoeiii · « **Reply #6333 on:** 5 Apr 2013, 07:22 pm »

Just got a mono cart, so plowing thru my mono LP collection. So far:

Jimmy Smith- The Sermon
Jimi Hendrix- Are You Experienced (recent reissue)
Velvet Underground- mono box set
Charles Mingus- Blues and Roots

On the old beat up LPs it is amazing how much surface noise disappears!

From the looks of that cover you bought that in the 60's. Great album, imo.

I agree with Jim, great album, now back at ya P-man
