pink album cover appreciation post (from my cd collection)

blonde on blonde is only a little pink I guess but it fits the vibe

(I got Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots today, that title track just brings me so much joy)

I have to assume that, as the years go on, Jefferson Airplane's line "one pill makes you larger" has taken on an entirely new meaning for some of the male bandmates

Album #96: “Surrealistic Pillow” by Jefferson Airplane (1967)

this record was okay.

i don’t know if it’s because i thought this record came out later (always thought it was an early 70′s record) that it felt a little ahead of it’s time.

the record was okay, but all the songs where Grace Slick is the lead vocalist absolutely whip ass. this was her first record with the band, which was their second overall. they should have written more songs for her to sing.

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

Quando pensiamo ad un’immagine, uno o più scatti che immortalano un’epoca, una scena musicale e sociale al massimo del suo splendore, canzoni, inni. Se quell’epopea che vogliamo far rivivere si sviluppa verso la fine degli anni sessanta nella baia di San Francisco con la sua rivoluzione psychedelic-rock, le sue lisergiche ambientazioni, allora dobbiamo pensare a Surrealistic Pillow dei Jefferson…

Weekend albums time!

So Saturday was Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta. So I had heard of this band, and the way they get talked about made me think they're a really highbrow metal band. And they're like, not not that. But at least for me, this brought a phase I thought I'd buried a long time ago roaring back to life, and it wasn't metal. Nah, this brought little middle school Kwaggy back to life, and little middle school Kwaggy fucking loved SCREAMO music. This activated the exact same neurons that listening to like, Senses Fail and Underoath and Relient K did. (Yes I was unwittingly listening to Jesus music in middle school despite being Jewish, it's deeply embarrassing let's all move on.)* To be clear though, this album fucking shreds and I loved it. 5/5.

Sunday was Low by David Bowie. Yup, that sure was a Bowie album. Two thirds super fun and catchy music that you'll love forever, ending on one third aimless instrumentals that feel like they're very much only there to make the album not be twenty minutes long. 4/5.

And this morning was Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane. The two big time classics on here are great, but nothing else really grabbed me. "She Has Funny Cars" and "Go To Her" are pretty good I guess. My gut says a 3 on this one, but looking at my liked songs about a third of the album is now on there so it'll feel wrong if it's not at least a 4/5, so let's go with that.

Mildly fun story below the break:

*Okay so I went to the Warped Tour when I was a sophomore in high school, and one of the bands me and my friends made sure to see was Underoath. They put on a pretty good show, and at the end the lead singer's getting ready to do the last song but before they start he has a brief talk break. He's like "hey, thanks everyone for coming out today, you've been a great crowd. We just want you to know that we rock for the lord, and even if you don't have faith in Christ, Jesus loves you. Now let's finish this set!"

*goes into the opening of the last song which is just absolutely incoherent screaming*
