What song are you listening to right now

Geez Dubs, you got all this on vinyl? My stash is only two feet deep. Yours must be around 20'....and eclectic as heck. Liked the psycadelic (sp?) album at top, brings back some late 60's memories. Cannot remember whose, but those times are best kept locked up....and pine for my Klipsch speakers that sold for a song....my first purchase with my first paycheck, from my first job after receiving my MBA....

Still remember 'Nothings Boy' from the HPLovecraft album...Lovecraft's books, still cause nightmares.

Captain Beefhearts' Trout Mask Replica used to give me nightmares. I don't have any vinyl anymore, sold it off when I moved to Alaska back in 1989 but I had everything from Hit Parade, 50's60's jazz and country, Beatles, Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Yes, King Crimson, Rush, Grateful Dead, Alice Cooper, David Bowie and one of my favorite groups, The Statler Bros. I grew up in a house where there was always a radio playing in the bathroom and garage and often an album spinning on the turntable. On one hand I have an encyclopedia of musical knowledge in my head but sometimes I think I would have been better served filling my head with more useful stuff.

Most of the above, I still have some dim knowledge about. Some of which you mentioned, do not. Still have a modicum of vinyl, and daughter has a turntable! Brother has most of my 60's albums, from Psychadelic Pop, to the White Album (have that in three mediums). Bet when you go on a bender, your neighbors wonder at the sounds emanating from your house.....enjoy!

I respect my neighbors and keep my music at a reasonable volume. This isn't the old days where you could just blast your music for the whole street to hear. I never even hear car blasting music anymore which is kind of weird. Hearing that car with the bass pumped up in the middle of the night is a thing of the past.

Dubs, come revisit the San Joaquin valley. Hardly any stop light goes without the car next to me, blaring their music at waaaay too many decibels. PS, had a roommate in college that came from a Polish/Italian union. His dad played a squeeze box, and grew to 'dislike' polka music very much. Hear alot of that on the streets as well. The sounds of Vanilla Fudge might be very welcome....

I haven't spent a significant amount of time there since the 80's, just passing through on I-5 or the 99. It used to be a beautiful place. Last time I drove through there on the 101 it looked like a desert.

BTW, you might get a kick out of this.

Used to go through Bakersfield on way to LA to watch daughter swim at BIOLA. There has been huge improvement on 99 going through that town, but still hold my breath, as most of those drivers act like they're playing 'dodge-em'. And, turn signals stay off, as drivers don't want to give away what they're going to cut you off.....
