@historyofpunkrock Interesting 'white label' semi-bootleg release of Shane MacGowan's pre-#Pogues band The Nips from 1980. Plain white cardboard cover with a stuck-on b&w insert, in typical #bootleg style. Features the legendary 'King of the Bop' on side one - perhaps the first really cracking song that Shane ever wrote. A cross between #punk and #rockabilly.
I bought this in 'Rock On' in London's Camden Town. Three quid and seventy-five pence, at the time. @vinylrecords

Waited a while to find the right time to play this.
Nice Blue Limited Edition

#NowPlaying - and while we're at it, also more bangers than "meet the beatles" & an album i jam way more often than "sgt. pepper." "ugliest part of your body" & "take your clothes off when you dance" still go so hard. peace to FZ & all hungry freaks. @vinylrecords
#NowPlaying - well past the point that most zappa interests me, i can kinda get with the "shut up 'n play yer #guitar" format (vol. 1, 1979-1980). shreddy af but incredibly lyrical & creative. despite being an autocratic bandleader, there was a real commitment to improvisation (& shaping it into standalone pieces) & it's almost a misdirecting title. zappa's in charge but they often feel more like jams than solos. also cool noise-blurt transitions straight outta '60s mothers LPs. @vinylrecords
@bourgwick@vinylrecords the interactions between Zappa and Vinnie Colaiuta on those Shut Up And Play Your Guitar albums are otherworldly. I remember reading that Steve Vai had to invent new musical notation to transcribe some of the rhythms (later published in the Frank Zappa Guitar Book).
@carloshr@vinylrecords vengo a decir que está bien bueno este álbum de #TheRollingStones. Tal como leí, es el sonido de la banda modernizado. Suena bien, es entretenido, variado, pero también tiene puntos bajos. No es el mejor disco de los Stones, pero aprueba con creces.
Mis favoritas: «Tell Me Straight», con #KeithRichards en la voz y «Sweet Sounds of Heaven» con el gran acompañamiento de #LadyGaga. La mejor canción del disco, sin duda.
