If Garth Brooks fronted a free jazz band covering Motley Crue and Pink Floyd you’d be onto a winner.

So like Mars Volta?

Thats an open wound there. Think of all the amazing ATDI I could have had. Just think!

On the positive I don’t feel compelled to spend like €400 on a box set or €70 odd each for the one EP and one LP I don’t mind.

Day 12: I’ve Come To Wish You An Unhappy Birthday

You asked for it...

Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" (1985 Vertigo; 2015 MOFI 2x45 remaster)

There you go... in audiophile quality no less. Happy birthday Joe!

Day 12: I’ve Come To Wish You An Unhappy Birthday

One for the lolz. I’m 38 today and this is my second lockdown birthday! Help me wallow in growing older on my own and play me an album that you think I’ll hate!

Yazz Ahmed - La Saboteuse

A couple of days ago you said no jazz, so here's some birthday jazz.

Cheers! It’s way past bed time and I’m not dropping off yet. Even imagining this should help

Day 11: Maturity

Vibrate You by King Adora

I decided to look this up on Spotify and listen for fun but instead I am just confused. There were some very questionable choices made here. Some of which I don't think were intentional

I've been planning to do the same once the kiddo's done with my speaker. Perversely, now I'm only more inclined to!

I didn't hate the first song completely but then the next two sounded just like it, only worse, so I gave up

They are deliberately named after a vibrator and so the album name is deliberate and the songs are deliberately sexually loaded and confrontational. I think the album was have been cack handedly written from the viewpoint of an anorexia sufferer too. They emerged as a sort of gobby confrontational punk ish band. They couldn’t back it up, the album was horrendous!

Day 10: The Year of the Lockdown

Tallest Man On Earth - There’s No Leaving Now

Day 12: I’ve Come To Wish You An Unhappy Birthday

Willie Bobo - uno dos tres
I am pretty sure this is one @Joe Mac 's favourites. Happy birthday. I heard 38 is the new 65.

Edit: @gafacaode beat me to Byrd, but thankfully I had Bobo in reserve.

Day 11: Maturity
Play an album by an artist who sounds every bit as good, if not better, in their golden years as they did in their youth.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Echo



This one came immediately to mind. Not one of his best known but it is so great

Day 11: Maturity
Charles Bradley-Changes

Not often do you see an artist first gain their popularity until they're in their 50s. Charles Bradley brought it all in his old age, though his time in the spotlight came to unfortunate ending not too long after.

Great rebounder in his time, too... wait... (As someone who was once a basketball-obsessed kid living in Arizona during the Barkley years, a part of my brain always reads his name wrong.)

Day 10: The Year of the Lockdown

Aimee Mann - Mental Illness

Maybe this should've been my maturity pick, but the title and tone sum up my year. It's been a rough one.

DAY 12
(UN)HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happiest of bdays to you @Joe Mac I hope it is a fantastic one!!

Painkiller - Buried Secrets
I had a few different options to go with today's theme, you could probably guess by my JQBX plays some of my ideas but eventually I figured what could be worse than free jazz? Free jazz mixed with grindcore! It's everything you hate about jazz, but faster, louder and with a lot of screaming.

This is the first track of their first EP, if you are morbidly curious and want to hear something that will absolutely ruin your morning

Day 12: I’ve Come To Wish You An Unhappy Birthday

Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction (1972, Columbia)


As a newcomer around here, I don't know all the things you hate @Joe Mac but others have made it easy enough. Here ya go! Free jazz excursions, poetry, baby cries, wailing violin, it's all here for ya. Happy birthday !

Pairing this great heady album with a Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout, which is definitely not Guinness. Hopefully you'd hate it too.
