It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

RIP Adam Schlesinger. 52 years, COVID-19.

He was a prolific songwriter for movies and other artists, as well as being part of several bands.

He was the bassist of Fountains of Wayne, for which he co-wrote their best known song, Stacy's Mom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZLfasMPOU4 :perv:

Alice Coltrane - A Monastic Trio (1968)

The piano pieces (especially the ones with Pharaoh Sanders) are all great.  Alice has a wonderfully bluesy sound and makes an excellent use of glissando.  The harp pieces... :unsure:... :unsure:... I don't get.

(Literal harp, not harmonica.)

Edit:  The album was written as a tribute to her late husband John, who had died the previous year.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Sav - I have nothing against Alice in principle or as a musician but for me Coltrane with Tyner is Thanksgiving without turkey.

Anyways, if you dig Alice Coltrane and late period JC, Jamie Saft is a self-described Alice disciple - Ticonderoga (2015) was a kind of tribute album to the Second VV Coltrane session, and Hidden Corners (2019) also evokes the Alice sound.  Hidden Corners has become one of my recent favorites and it's not as "difficult" as Ticonderoga although if you've listened to Brotzmann you can handle both.

Saft also had a release where Iggy Pop did some guest vocals - Loneliness Road (2017) - I'd recommend that one to everyone.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes (1968)

Tropicália meets psychedelia; the results are pretty good though very weird.

The only OM albums I've listened to are the Best Of and Tecnicolor, a 2000 release of music recorded in 1970 and subsequently thought lost.  It was supposed to be an attempt at an album for the English speaking world, and it's quite a fascinating listen.

Iron Butterfly - Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida :punk: (1968)

Side one sounds like generic psychedelic music written by a random hippy band from California (there's even a song called "Flowers and Beads" on it.)  Side two is the legend (not necessarily the legend that they were all too stoned to sing the words or end the song, though I'm not saying that isn't a possibility).  It's every bit as long, loud, long, incomprehensible, self indulgent and long as I remember.  The three minute single version doesn't come close to doing it justice.  Iron Butterfly would never have as big a hit, or anything that sounded like it.

Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt Suites

Grieg created two suites out of his incidental music to the incidental music he wrote to Ibsen's play Peer Gynt.  The first is much better known beginning with the Morning Mood and ending with In the Hall of the Mountain King.  The second suite is decent, but really can't compete with the first.

Cándido Camero - Cándido featuring Al Cohn (1956)

NPR's Alt Latino podcast had an interview on with Cándido a few weeks back.  He's 99 and was still performing earlier this year.  It struck me when listening that both the MAGA crowd and Latin Jazz fanatics consider the 50s a golden age; although for nearly polar opposite reasons.

Cándido is a Conga and Bongo player who has played with nearly everyone of that era from Machito to Dizzy Gillespie to Tony Bennett.  This album is mostly standards (Stompin' at the Savoy, Indian Summer, Poinciana and Cheek to Cheek among others) with Cuban percussion.  It doesn't always work but the solos are usually good.
