It is good stuff, I saw Edwin Collins live a few months ago and was lucky enough to speak to him after. Really nice guy.
I'm listening to The Mountain Goats the now.
I'm listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

tonight, trying to forget the weekend, listening to comedian Marc Maron! I saw him years ago opening for Janeane Garofalo and Henry Rollins. This dude is extremely funny! Check him out!

On the way to work I heard - for the first time - the full 18 minute version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, which is a great song IF YOU LIKE SONGS THAT SEEM AS IF THEY WILL NEVER END.
Bonus points if you recognize God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen in the organ solo and laugh out loud.
Luckily they played Hendrix immediately afterward to cleanse the auditory palate.

I find it hard to believe too, being really old and all.
But in 67 or 68, whenever that song came out, I was limited top 40 radio and whatever singles I could buy. I was in second or third grade, so I wasn't really out there buying Iron Butterfly albums. But the single version was all over the radio of course.
By the time FM radio took over and the hippies started playing album tracks, I wasn't interested in what they were peddling.

There is something great about that song though, and that is every single sound on it seemed to be processed through some sort of 1968 effect. It sounded like the drums were even run through a phase shifter or a flanger, at least on that awesome solo. ;) And you can't beat 1968 guitar fuzz (or fuzz and wah on the guitar solo!).
But they made sure not to leave a natural sound in that fucker anywhere, and I can appreciate that in an absurdist kind of way. Maybe they were trying to create that newfangled electronic music.
