Take me anywhere

Tin Machine - Tin Machine
I love this record. All of the Tin Machine stuff I'm a fan of, but the first record is so good. My affinity for it has to do with timing as well. I was there when it happened, 17 years old and following Bowie for a couple of years already. It was so new, so loud, so cool, so brilliant. I was never a fan of the way the 80's sounded, especially then. Things were so drab, that's why I ended up digging back into music history. 
This is one of those records that just sounded good. It's a little reverb heavy, but nothing that drowns the music. And that music is so good, the fresh energy that inspired the project is in full effect. To me, this was the new Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, they were just called Tin Machine.

Keep your hands off!

Slade - Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply
"Run Runaway" and "My Oh My" are two fantastic songs! I've always loved those tunes since I first heard them back in 1984. For some reason though, I never owned the album. I went through a mini Slade phase a few months back and finally picked up the record. Unfortunately, it's not a great album, but those two songs more than make up for any slights on the rest of it. A pretty cool cover too, simple and to the point.

Hear the record, drink the wine!

We picked up some "Dark Side Of The Moon" wine the other day and there's no better way to enjoy than by listening to the record at the same time.
