Soundtracks of our lives (er) 16/11/03

Well no-one's done one yet so I will...

The (Young) Rascals: Once Upon A Dream -- only liked side one, "It's Wonderful" especially since it reminds me of reggae dub... Actually Gene Cornish is friends with my cousin Jim Celinski, who himself had been in several local bands in my town since the 60s. Cornish managed Celinski's first band and also wrote a song for their lone 45 record -- according to my friend and local eccentric/60s rock buff Del Rivers.

Joe Jackson: Night And Day -- I know this is often regarded as Jackson's sell-out MOR album, but still has plenty of his scathing social commentary on tracks like "TV Age" and "Cancer". And I still think back to how I came to terms with my sexuality when I hear "Real Men".

Antietam: Eaten Up By Hate 12" -- Recent find. Sounds better than most of the 'college rock' I remember. Reminds me of Rochester favorites Absolute Grey.

Velvet Underground: "Stephanie Says" -- one of my favorite VU tracks along with "Here Comes The Sun" and "Sunday Morning".

Blood Axis: "Electricity"

And I saw King Diamond -- not as bad a singer as many in the metal scene think -- with Obituary, the later doing an excellent and long set that went well with the crowd. Also liked that their lead guitarist is Black, and he could really play dude!
