[165] don't dreamers ever win?
Last day off! Still need to do budget stuff, especially with AEW Winnipeg tickets going on sale in a couple of days, but I have at least opened my spreadsheets, which is more than I've done in actual months, so that's something. Right?
Oof. 10am Burger King was a mistake, I'm still feeling the consequences of that decision. Also still EXTREMELY sad about Angelo Badalamenti, and it's taking all my willpower to listen to anything other than his scores right now. Persevering, though!
Wikipedia Sez: Greetings from L.A. is the seventh album by singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in August 1972. It was recorded at Far Out Studios in Hollywood, California. Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well, although this is probably his best seller (there at least 2 different US pressings: the first with removable postcard and dark green WB label, the second had no perforations for the postcard and had the Burbank WB label), getting substantial airplay in the Twin Cities on the Minneapolis FM station KQRS and selling very well at the independent record shops in Minneapolis-St. Paul and elsewhere (Detroit, New York, etc.) until it was deleted by Warner Brothers (whereupon Greetings continued to sell as a UK/European import into the '80's).
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Jazz-Rock, Singer/Songwriter
Prior Familiarity: Low. Pretty much just know he was Jeff Buckley's dad.
What I Did While Listening: Coloured a couple of pictures of foxes; bemoaned the rapidly-setting afternoon sun.
Verdict: I LOVE the sound of this, the grooves are truly impossible not to move to and I think an instrumental-only version of it would be an instant favourite, but ultimately it's just too... unrelentingly gross and horny for my tastes.
Favourite Song: Make It Right
