BOS4 The Drug Report!


Ah, the good ol' PharmChem report, guaranteed to garner a few BOS votes. Those were the days. And tres apropos before the Floyd!

This should go in another thread, but since we are all here:

that is one of his best.

" a reed-thin, black-clad, heavily sequined Jimmy Page is so violently violating his Les Paul with a shredded violin bow it sounds like demons f-ing in a hurricane."

and I love his line about Across the Universe: "a cute movie musical that wants to be Hair but is really High School Musical with better drugs". ROTFL!

BOS3 NGDB!


Now THIS appears to be a bustout.

Free association: KROY, one of the top 40 stations mentioned in that Sacto Radio History essay I posted the other day, had this recorded bit about "Uncle Murph and his dog Fotchell" that they'd always play as a lead-in to this song. Never knew if it was something they made up, or something off a comedy record of the day (the Committee? Firesign?). Haven't heard it since.


wasn't Fotchell the name of Alice & Ray's dog in "Alices Restaurant"?

Don't Pull your Katrinas out on us, Dave.

she took 2 Tylenol and now she's Freda Payne!

Super Duper BOS5 and proxy of Gaz, "Bring the Boys Home"...  or as Robert Christgau famously quipped: "Vietnam with violins"

That's actually on the album Dirt, Silver & Gold, a triple LP which is what most boxed sets aspire to be.

OMFG! Dave plays something from Tapestry!  Talk about bustouts and/or rarities!  BOS6.

DAY-UM. Never knew that. Now I gotta go find me a copy. Which may or may not be easy, depending on whether it's in print or not, now that Village Music is but a memory.

It's the latter--heard it twice in '04.

I liked this bit too:

Zep went no such route. They were into full-length furs and platform boots and exotic Middle-Eastern musical motifs, Aleister Crowley and Norse mythology and references to Valhalla and Thor and "The Lord of the Rings." You know, just like Spinal Tap. Only better.

I'd wager that it's one of maybe 3 tracks from that LP Dave has played, along with "It's Too late" and (maybe) "Smackwater Jack".

OMG!!!! Another first-timer and a personal fave (although I didn't discover it anywhere near 1971): Yes, Starship Trooper.

BOS5? 6? I lost track.

Either Bob or Rob played this quite recently, but kudos to Dave if it's a bustout. This set more than makes up for getting '89 & '94 back-to-back.

"the proud sons and daughters that knew the knowledge of the land"

another bustout, and another extended Prog Rock anthem.  Mshray is in heaven.
