Good day to sit home, do drugs, drink beer, practice black magic and listen to records today was - after the obligatory shovelling of much snow of course.
Highlights included listening to two versions of “Pablo Picasso” - the original release by John Cale and the Modern Lovers’ first recorded Cale produced version of their song not so long after. Might not be the best song ever written but I am sure it is easily the best song that repeatedly uses the word asshole.
Further highlight was a first listen to Christian’s one and only album. From 1972. Dollar thrift store buy purchased on the strength of the cover art which reminded me a little of a Bloodrock album or something like that. Guessing they were a Vancouver band as Paul Horn showed up to play his flute for one song. Hard to say because searching the Internet for “Christian Band” is of no help whatsoever. Great record. Pleased I ran across such an obscure gem.
