John Coltrane "Plays The Blues" and "Coltrane's Sound" (most of both recorded 26 October 1960, a legendary recording date!) Love that Elvin Jones beat, and Tyner's kosmik-gospel-funky piano.
Zappa & Mothers with Flo & Eddie & John & Yoko "Playground Psychotics" (probably the best Flo & Eddie/Zappa album? Though I like both groups, I never felt they were all that good together. Somehow the combination of "live on stage" & "verite backstage tapes" kinda works here.)
Neil Young "On The Beach" & "Le Noise" & "Long May You Run" (the Young half only!)
Wishbone Ash "Pilgrimage" ($1 dumpster find, also got the self-titled one.)
Psychotronic art films - enjoyed two old favorites for the first time in years:
Andy Warhol's Dracula (AKA Blood For Dracula) -- it's like "the Velvet Undergound of Dracula movies" and Udo Keir is still my favorite vampire ever!
Desperate Living (John Waters' Disney-goes-to-Hell class warfare caper. The only one where Mink Stole played the lead.)
