If you liked Tarkio, I think you'd like this one, it has the same hippie rock ambience.

Ouch, $2.99 is pricey for thrift records although you can still patrol and mark your territory for the half-price sales.

Pink Floyd - Relics
(1971, Harvest) MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the deadwax



compilation of the band's early catalog with songs recorded in 1967-69. Allmusic review: "A little bit of everything that made early Pink Floyd can be found here." I'm currrently reading Barry Miles 2006 book: Pink Floyd The Early Years; interesting to hear some of the songs discussed in the book.

Robert Palmer - Double Fun
(1978, Island) FW/JR in the deadwax; mastered by Jose Rodriguez at Frankford Wayne Mastering Labs, NYC



4th solo LP from Palmer. nicely produced pop with rock and blue eyed soul influences. with Little Feat personnel including Paul Barrere and Bill Payne, as well as Randy and Michael Brecker with the horns. Allmusic calls this feel-good and funky and I have to agree it's another fun one from Palmer. A $1 thrift find yesterday.

Bruce Cockburn - Resume
(1981, True North) Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound



compilation includes previously unreleased "Coldest Night Of The Year". I saw a Cockburn LP at a store yesterday, and wanted to listen again to this Canadian singer-songwriter. Great stuff.

A new report by one of the Senate's top watchers of wasteful spending slams $11.5 billion worth of items from 2010. The report will no doubt become fodder for future budget debates.
Sen. Tom Coburn's Wastebook 2010 highlights, for instance, $615,000 in federal funds to digitize photographs, T-shirts and concert tickets belonging to the Grateful Dead. The money went to the University of California at Santa Cruz, the band's chosen spot for an archive that is supposed to be free to the public.
