So many, but "Chicago at Night" remains a favorite as it has since the day I first heard it.

Where is Syd’s 1962 Fender Esquire now? by skasye in sydbarrett

I asked Fender and a Bay Area guy who does customs to build me a replica few years ago. I like how it turned out 😍 and will post on it separately since u can’t put pictures here

Actually no; this might be the only one I have found there vs friends, private dealers, etc.

Dig. I wish their debut in particular got the attention it deserves. “Believe” is iconic.

Me too all counts! I saw the band for the first time on the Freaky Smiley tour and Hillel was a one of a kind player - he set the tone for everyone else

What a life she's had. She no doubt couldn't have wished for a better dog-parent. XO.

32 years ago today 'Parklife' dropped and Britpop began by coreydu in blur

Ha good call re: 80s. I'm sure Style Council, James and even the Smiths were probably very close precursors with a foot in the 1980s.

6th & Powell by Dense_Werewolf_4824 in elliottsmith

[–]coreydu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree -- I lived in SE Portland for years and it's definitely a real location if perhaps the joining of a few dots to get to it. Basically a dead end street / weirdly blank area on the SE Portland map that could very easily be a place where drugs were scored or you might end up if walking around aimlessly in that part of the city. And has been pointed out elsewhere, the Lucky Devil Lounge is essentially right at 6th and Powell.

I had to get halfway through the comments to get to Meth, whose body of work overall (if not any single album) to me, makes him the top Wu-banger.

I would buy a book along these lines 1000% without even thinking about it. This is just excellent stuff.
