Screaming Trees - "Invisible Lantern" (1988)

Walk through to this side...

They may have been from that city at that time, but this album makes a whole lot of sense if you think of it as an SST release by a garage band that was into both punk and the bands from Nuggets. I'm glad I got curious about what other Seattle bands were up to circa "Bleach"...

The Stones, Live at Perth, 1973. Brilliant.

One of the best ever live performances. The Stones on this February night in Australia are a blood and guts rock and roll machine. Their absolute peak.

Australia's Finest (Not Counting Radio Birdman)

Bee Gees - Horizontal (1968)

Goin' Back to Massachusetts

Before going down the falsetto-lined road to platinum-selling stardom, the Bee Gees made some really great orchestral pop in the vein of the Zombies, Love, etc. I think it's safe to say that "The Earnest of Being George" is the heaviest thing these guys ever recorded. Yeah.
