New additions to my Spotify library: Kool & The Gang The Best Of Kool & The GangNash, Graham, and David Crosby Wind On The WaterPointer Sisters Our HitsCei-U! I summon the groove, baby! I think Crosby and Nash's Wind in the Water is kind of patchy, compared to the duo's first album, but when it's good it's very good. I really like the songs "Carry Me", "Take the Money and Run", "Bittersweet", and "To the Last Whale..."

Maybe that's the track I'm thinking of, or is it part of a suite including a 'Wind On The Water' section. I have a sort of strange Dutch edition of the album on CD that is untitled. I bought it thinking it was the 'best of' for the duo but found out it was actually an entire album, so then I got the self-titled album they did which is the other one... a confusing catalogue of CS, CSN, CSNY, SY, plus all their solo releases made more confusing by Disky of Holland. There was a huge very ugly falling out a couple of years ago between Crosby and Nash and I doubt they'll ever work together or really even speak again this time.

Maybe that's the track I'm thinking of, or is it part of a suite including a 'Wind On The Water' section. Yeah, that's it. The song is called "To the Last Whale", but it's made up of two pieces: "Critical Mass" and "Wind on the Water". There was a huge very ugly falling out a couple of years ago between Crosby and Nash and I doubt they'll ever work together or really even speak again this time. Yeah, and that was shortly after Crosby had also fallen out with Neil Young, over Crosby having called Young's new wife, Daryl Hannah, a "purely poisonous predator." I don't know the man, obviously, but everything I've read about David Crosby (which is a lot) makes me think that he's an extremely difficult person to get on with. Hell, Crosby even admits as much in his autobiography, Long Time Gone. The individual members of CSNY have continually argued and regularly fallen out with each other over the course of their careers together, but I think that Nash and Young have finally just washed their hands of Crosby. It all seems pretty final. I'd be fascinated to know what it was that happened to finally make Nash wash his hands of Crosby. Which reminds me of a story that musician, songwriter, and sometime Beach Boy collaborator Van Dyke Parks tells. Parks was having dinner with ex-Byrds producer Terry Melcher and during the conversation Parks asked him who the most unpleasant person he'd ever worked with was. Without missing a beat, Melcher answered back "David Crosby." Somewhat taken aback by the emphatic nature of Melcher's answer, Parks followed up by asking, "and who was the second most unpleasant person you've ever worked with?" Melcher thought about it for a moment and then answered, "Charles Manson."

Just Another Diamond Day (1970) by Vashti Bunyan has been spending a fair amount of time on my turntable of late.

Just Another Diamond Day (1970) by Vashti Bunyan has been spending a fair amount of time on my turntable of late. Lovely album. Really precious. I also have the Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind – Singles and Demos 1964 to 1967 compilation, which collects stuff she recorded for Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label in the mid-60s, when she was just known as Vashti. It's not quite as good as Just Another Diamond Day, but it's still well worth a listen if you like that album.

I DJ a punk rock show on KEXP in Seattle and I do a punk rock X-mas show ever year. I collect non-traditional Christmas songs - or as I like to say I have no Standards. I also have been the on air DJ on Dec 25 on 90.3fm for the last 5-6 years and have been doing Xmas themed podcasts. So since it's November I start hunting for more unique holiday music

I was just remembering how I had first heard these two songs way back on the old CBR from watching Fringe and was telling y’all about it. And I got a bit sentimental.

Lightnin' Hopkins and also some June Tabor, for a transfer project. I forgot how impressive Hopkins was, damn he was good! I think I liked the June Tabor with accompaniment, the plain song Topic/Anne Briggs purist folk approach wears thin on me after one long ballad. I'm American...
Usually around now I break out some '70s Slade to lift winter spirits (and maybe I could add some Easybeats) but first I will dig out Vashti's Rose Hip November song to say goodbye to a difficult month.
