    FRIZZLE FRY by Primus

    I was super fortunate to have a father who introduced me to all sorts of amazing lesser known music like Danny Elfman, Sparks(coming soon), Zappa, Steely Dan, and Pantera. Then Jimmy took me further into the realm of avant-garde nouveau(at the time) with Bungle, Primus, and The Residents. We...

    A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU from Phil Spector

    My grandma, where the music in the family comes from, is 93 as well❤️ Ya Brian was a super fan of Spectors. Funny to think of such a pure and intrinsic genius like Brian Wilson being a crazy fan boy. He used to stalk him a little and then hang with Spector in studio. I believe he layed down...

    A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU from Phil Spector

    :syngates:Yo Family! For this months album rec I thought I’d rock some holiday spirit with A Christmas Gift To You From Phil Spector. This may be just another Christmas record at first glance and listen, but it was an unbelievably influential record by an unbelievably influential producer...

    ABBEY ROAD by The Beatles

    ABBEY ROAD by The Beatles

    Brilliant break down PG, didn’t know a lot of that amazing info. I think that “Because” is the most humbling piece of music on the record to me. As a huge fan of vocal harmony, this is a flawless victory. The chord changes are insane and masterfully arranged over with flawless melody, harmony...

    ABBEY ROAD by The Beatles

    Yes, “I want you” is as heavy and dark as anything I’ve ever heard when it breaks down. A masterpiece in dynamics imho.

    ABBEY ROAD by The Beatles

    :syngates:Yo family! My record of the month for November is Abbey Road by The Beatles. This is my personal fav album by my fav band(tied w Bungle of course). I’ve always gone back and forth between Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey but as I’ve gotten older, Abbey is just so solid and clever that...
