Whats on your turntable tonight?

1. loudon wainwright iii, album ii--alternatively sad and hysterically funny; best one guy with a guitar folkie album by someone not named dylan. as far as i know, never released on cd. "motel blues" (later covered by big star) is on this record.
2. lyres lyres--hadn't heard this in 20 years or so and was surprised at how great it is--tough, hooky garage rockers and really pretty ballads. "she pays the rent" is a classic.
3. wipers, over the edge---sorta hardcore punk rock for grownups. i bet nirvana wore out 100 copies of this record.

Picked up today:

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Brian Eno - Before And After Science
David Byrne/Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Gram Parsons - Return Of The Grievous Angel

LJ: Lyres, Wipers...nice! (Fun fact: The pink dress worn by the cover model on "Lyres Lyres" has a provenance connected to the fairer member of this household!)
