He is r
The best touring artist right now. His new album is incredible and the albums he is pulling tunes from are the best written songs of the last.20 years.

Paramaecium's Exhumed of the Earth is a banger.

I also like Living Sacrifice's Reborn.

Spotted Cow is the greatest gift Wisconsin has given the world.

We went last year to see X and stayed in a cabin on the road in front of the venue. Drove about 1 minute to the parking lot. Great venue and had a blast at the show.

Great time. Thise guys know how to bring the rock. I was at the show last year, they had a loud in your face sound. It was in the Parish, so smaller crowd and low stage. I was 3 people back from the stage and it reminded me of being at a Ramones gig.

This year, they sounded just like the album. One of the best rock bands around.

Wakeman, Bruford, and Squire were some of the all time greats on their instruments in rock. Squire's iconic sound, Wakeman's showmanship/sound and participation in some great non-yes tracks over his career. Bruford is royalty- work with Yes, solo and KC to name a few. Legend.

Pink Turns to Blue into Newest Industry does it for me every time. Zen Arcade stayed on my turntable for months when it came out, same for Double Nickles.

Favorite Minitemne album is The Punchline. Favorite Husker Du album is Metal Circus. The Savage Young Du box is killer too.

re: It’s Record Store Day, what are some of your favorite memories at your local record store?

Posted by Shockthamonkey on 4/20/24 at 12:25 pm to Kafka

A lot of my early record collection came from Bebop and Little Big Store in Jackson MS.

The stores around campus, Liesure Landing, New Generation, Kaidairs and the used record store that Dr. Death had a room in were all great at one time. The Landing was the best but the others had great import sections for a while. A lot of my punk stuff was purchased at one of those 4 stores.

There was also a record fair at LSU around the parade grounds, with a concert by local bands that I went to in the early 80s that was awesome.

SOP or Leprosy by Death for sure.

LOG - Ashes of the Wake
Priest - British Steel or Screaming.
Maiden - any of the first five, POM is a banger too.
Sabbath - could go with Masters, Mob Rules, Paranoid, or Sabatoge.
