imagining Mick attempting "Cherry Pie" and wondering what the line between sleaze and danger is

you know, those are the exact four songs I never bothered much with on that album, so yeah

the first time I heard "Undercover of the Night" as a '90s teen it broke my brain

except we're more or less the same age somehow

haha this is the divide I was talking about exactly

I regret to inform you that I cannot agree with the term "crap" used to describe an album that closes with "Fingerprint File," though the "kinda" qualifier helps

just got reminded of one of the cleverest needle drops in his whole repertoire: it was the alternate mix with the strings (as heard later on 'Metamorphosis' in '75), a little nod to the whole Alternate Universe feeling of it all

now I'm thinking of a generational divide between people who first experienced mid '70s Stones as a symptom of bloated rockstar excess, and people who first experienced mid '70s Stones a dozen years later and heard more eclecticism and edge than cheap gloss (compared to, say, Warrant)

this is what "Smooth" would sound like if it was any good

also: Mick Taylor

a song so unselfconsciously Into Itself Despite Itself, mushy and goofy and kind of fatuous yet also beautiful in a thoroughly bewildered and ennui-wracked way

I know it's blasphemous to ride for mid '70s Stones but this just leapt right to the front of the queue

when AtWiaD came out (I was like eight) the hook to that song was one of the most amazing things I'd ever heard and even with four decades internalizing that memory I've never actually gotten around to it

report back once you listen to the entire 22-minute version of "America"

Those incredible suits…

The first Scorsese I ever saw in theaters, probably the turning point that took me from casual moviegoer to film buff because it was during my college freshman semester taking film studies 101

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Jellybean Johnson's sudden passing. To know that this amazing personality will no longer randomly show up (like here on @recordstoreday.bsky.social 2023) to light up the store and talk music and life and Minneapolis Sound Museum with us is heartbreaking.💔

sit down under this tree next to me and let me see if we can get on the same page about collective ideas of "hip" and "unhip" being arbitrary moving targets that should not be used as the standard for anything

also: the bus does not take 5 hours and cost hundreds of dollars

nice, welcome to the club

Yep, looking forward to it

If Zoomers keep discovering older and older loud guitar music it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing TikToks about riot grrl pioneers Bikini Unalive

lol I remember people being shocked and appalled that Lin-Manuel Miranda was on this album, joke's on them

(so basically I fell for this song instantly and in escalating fashion)

that and like fifteen other instrumentation/production choices, up to and including the effect on the fadeout

it's worthwhile to take note of when a first listen of a song locks in the idea that you will love said song for a long time, and for me here it's when the pedal steel came in

my thoughts: Wurlitzer + full kitchen = revival of the '70s "pizzeria with pipe organ" trend

just saw ‘Big Time’ this past weekend so you get some bonus chuckles here

everyone’s griping about Hercules not being represented and meanwhile I’m all “you know there’s a song in The Jungle Book sung by Louis goddamned Prima right”
