Ghosts, Ghouls and Gods

Feelin' a little supernatural today...

This is a Music Thread

...so play me some music.

Paranoid

Brings back memories of Friday night acid parties and Halloween parties in a haunted antebellum mansion.

Good thing we can only be young once.

Blood and Bones

Because there's only 18 days until Halloween...

It's a set-up

I'm tellin ya, it's a set-up.

I got a phone call from Kokomo, Indiana today. I refused it. Next thing I know I'm researching music for tonight, and what's the first thing that pops up? You guessed it:

Ya know, there's an old saying: It takes alot of planning to pull off a coincidence.

And yes, I know it stops abruptly. Coincidence?

Eleven Eleven

Dave Alvin once said, "There are two types of  folk music... quiet folk music and loud folk music. I play both."

Alvin began playing both types of "folk music" in The Blasters, a band that he formed with his brother, Phil, back in 1979.  Along with The Blasters, he also played for a time with the Los Angeles punk band, X, a country punk band called The Knitters that was a side project of three members of X, and with The Flesh Eaters.

As so often seems to be the case with musical brothers in the same band, the Alvin boys had a reputation for fighting, which may have led to the break up of The Blasters in 1986 and the beginning of Dave Alvin's solo career.

Released in 2011, 'Eleven Eleven is Alvin's eleventh solo album and, in my opinion, one of his best.

Stop That Train

While looking around for something to post in today's thread, I came across this piece of American history, 

The Reno brothers carry out the first train robbery in U.S. history

On October 6, 1866, the brothers John and Simeon Reno stage the first train robbery in American history, making off with $13,000 from an Ohio and Mississippi railroad train in Jackson County, Indiana.
Of course, trains had been robbed before the Reno brothers’ holdup. But these previous crimes had all been burglaries of stationary trains sitting in depots or freight yards. The Reno brothers’ contribution to criminal history was to stop a moving train in a sparsely populated region where they could carry out their crime without risking interference from the law or curious bystanders.

That's a hell of a way to leave your mark on history.  Pretty smart too, if you don't mind robbery. 

Ya Gotta Know Your Limitations

49 years ago today, Janis Joplin was found dead in her hotel room of an overdose.

It's an all-too-tragedy; Jimi Hendrix died of an overdose less than a month earlier, and in July '71, Jim Morrison met a similar fate. All three were 27 when they died.

"Mercedes Benz" was recorded on her last night alive.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake was one of those troubled geniuses in the 60s and 70s who had a brief but brilliant musical career.  He released three wonderful albums in three years.  Then, after his third album was released, Drake withdraw from the music scene, saying he had no more songs to play.  He died two years later.  His death was ruled a suicide. 

Released in 1972, 'Pink Moon' was his final album.
