The Box of Vinyl Project: #5 The Doors-Waiting For The Sun (Elektra 1968)
About a year ago, I acquired a little more than two crates worth of old vinyl LPs (about 200, give or take, records). I've listened to some of them, the ones I already knew and liked, but the majority of the records have stayed put in the box they came in. I figured I'd start making my way through the collection of vinyl. I don't intend to research any records that I'm not familiar with, so hopefully I'll arrive at as objective a review/summary of each records as possible. In the interest of full disclosure, I've never tried my hand at...

The Box of Vinyl Project: #2 Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (1971 Cotillion)
Before listening to this record, I knew nothing about Emerson, Lake, and Palmer other than vaguely recognizing the name. After listening to the record, I realized why. It's hard for me to figure out where to start with this record, so I'll start with what seems like the thematic thread that holds the six songs (six songs and it still clocks in at around 40 minutes) together: pretentiousness and an implied fondness of wizards, fairies, eagles, and fire. And solos played on anything with keys. The record sounds like it'd double pretty well as the soundtrack...
Missing Tom Waits Live
Filed under: News you've probably heard, Uncategorized, panorama, vinyl
A little over a year ago, in July '08, Tom Waits played in Birmingham, AL as part of his "Glitter and Doom" tour. I remember finding out about the tour a few months earlier and telling my then-finacee that we would have to go no matter what because I wanted to see a Tom Waits show more than any other show I could think of, and I told her what date he'd be in Birmingham. She had bad news for me and had to spoil a fairly big and cool surprise. We were getting married at the end of that May,...
