I'm still on the Fleetwood-Mac kick... well, really have been for a very long time. =)
 
Anyway, Tusk came out 36 years ago today... since a lot of people thought it would Rumours II, the double-album of kinda' strange tunes that were anything but Rumour-esque was a bit of a disappointment.  
 
So in celebration of deep cuts everywhere, here's Christine McVie's Never Make Me Cry. (in an odd sharp for those keeping track)

Aquarium Rescue Unit really tickles me. Also been listening to Geoff Achison.

Dang Forest, that's hard-core critique ^there^ bud... don't hold back.  =)  
 
The thing kinda' grew on me later... I was a senior in high school when Tango in the Night came out, which was coincidentally about the same time I started playing bass. I worked my way backwards through all the albums prior, but it was a while before I got the big picture. I was but a pup in 1969 when John and Mick started their namesake trip, so it wasn't like I had grown up with the classic blues/rock incarnations of the band. I was however, fascinated by them in good ol' 1987 though... it kinda' became the soundtrack for my late teens.  
 
Now, here's a fine example of the small world that is music... I actually knew Buster B. (Brad) Jones, and had the chance to play with him a couple times. Not only that, I'm tracking this coming Saturday morning at Flat Five Studios where a good portion of his music was recorded. The tracking engineer Tom Ohmsen, is a mutual friend.  RIP Brad... he was a monster player.

Listen (if you are so equipped) to an LP of Rodney  Justo on 45 and a 45 of Stevie Nicks on 33, and then tell me - why was there never a Fleetwood Mac/ARS double bill?
 
Where did you go Clark? You just missed Superman!

For playing something at the wrong speed, nothing beats this. It's right next door to some very modern grooves.

Wow, that guy certainly does has some singing talent! I bet he will have a bright future! Maybe the arrangement and overall sounding a little bit dark but... Oh, wait... that's no guy then? Well... Now I don't know if I like this new version even better. :P Who would have guessed it?

The Buster and Bresh video was nice!

I'm glad you watched that.  
I figured woodshop wisdom + hot mountain girls playing acoustic instruments  = something folks here might like

That King Crimson video was on an auto-play playlist, and thus I've been watching Crimson for a couple hours, including .  Hard to believe that was 1982.  Those guys were good.
