[429] I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I
fucking
hate
christmas
🙂
But if you can't say anything nice, etc., etc., we made it and it wasn't a total misery in the end, I managed to pull a few nice moments of family togetherness out of the morass, Nosferatu fucked, but I'm also not not glad to be back at work for a change. It's just a five-day shift, and I'm leaving early for two of those, but we're insanely understaffed so that will be its own series of nightmares, but it should also be pretty quiet and the weather is shockingly mild and lovely, so hey.
Ready for 2025!
Wikipedia Sez: Music from Big Pink is the debut studio album by Canadian-American rock band the Band. Released on July 1, 1968, by Capitol Records, it employs a distinctive blend of country, rock, folk, classical, R&B, blues, and soul. The album's title refers to a house in West Saugerties, New York called "Big Pink", which was shared by bassist/singer Rick Danko, pianist/singer Richard Manuel and organist Garth Hudson and in which the album's music was partly composed. The album itself was recorded in studios in New York and Los Angeles in 1968, and followed the band's stint backing of Bob Dylan on his 1966 tour (as the Hawks) and time spent together in upstate New York recording material that was officially released in 1975 as The Basement Tapes, also with Dylan. The cover artwork is a painting by Dylan. (he is inescapable)
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Country-Rock, Rock & Roll, Album Rock, Blues-Rock, Singer/Songwriter
Release Date: July 1st, 1968
Prior Familiarity: I have seen Easy Rider a lot.
What I Did While Listening: Tried to find a few moments of pre-Christmas peace. Largely succeeded.
Verdict: It is an album of songs that all sound exactly like The Weight (complimentary, mostly).
Favourite Song: I am a sucker for a classic country cover, it's Long Black Veil.
