What are you listening to?

If you're a big fan of Pink Floyd Animals like I am, this is a must listen.

Les Claypool and his Frog Brigade playing the entire thing live. Absolutely 10/10 performance.

Pic of of Set 1, but Set 2 was the Pink Floyd (link here):

8.5/10

Here's a traditional dance album incorporating not just the new synth sound but a very clubby early 90s sound as well. Minimal lyrics, mostly instrumental. Some fantastic bass lines. Track 2 probably is my favorite. Great cover art.

Always sneaks up on me.

My brother Eric gave me this gift card to Culture Shock - Clothing and Records in Rockford for Christmas (in 2021, the last one we'd spend together). Of course by the time I got around to thinking about using it I had moved to Arlington Heights.

Then I just didn't want to use it, because they usually take the card after you do.

Finally I decided it was time to use it so one day I was in Rockford and stopped in. I bought one record I needed but didn't have (the KIDS soundtrack). And one record from a movie he and I had talked about, Lost in Translation (also a movie Soundtrack).

I asked the guy working the register if he could write VOID on the gift card and let me keep the card. I had explained why I wanted to keep it, and he was cool enough to let me.

I waited 3 years, but I'm giving it a spin for Eric tonight. The title is fitting, in my opinion. So many things in life are lost in translation.
