Todd Rundgren - “A Wizard / A True Star” (1973) Despite a slightly worn gatefold, this was one of my more exciting recent finds. A departure from the poppiness of the previous LP (“Something/Anything?”) Rundgren’s experimentation with psychedelics comes through sonically while never sacrificing his clear talent for melody. #vinyl #vinylcollection #toddrundgren #awizardatruestar #psychedelicrock #progressive #pop https://www.instagram.com/p/CZiJwlJPSzr/?utm_medium=tumblr

The result was a complete loss of about half of my audience at that point. But… #trentreznor and other artists have cited that as being a major influence on them and so I have a special pride for what essentially was my act of tyranny after having commercial success. This became the model for my life after that” #internationalfeel in 8 is such a great suite of great music! This has influenced both #daftpunk & #tameimpala , all that and more - his shows at that time were so much fun - Todd forms the band #utopia - his shows at #masonictemple and I remember Todd opening #bobseger ‘s show at #thesilverdome in 76 , now this album he covers #curtismayfield ‘s song he wrote for #theimpressions #imsoproud and #smokeyrobinsons #oohbabybaby and #cooljerk - he is such a wizard - he has made so many great records for so many brilliant artists and has made great records for himself Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXnCgrKrm16/?utm_medium=tumblr

Talked so much with @lisaf611 recently about Todd and Utopia that I'm officially breaking that part out into its own episode (coming soon)! Not sad about it. Any opportunity to dig into Todd-prog is a good one, super feeling these records this lovely Saturday morning. 🤘🎸📢 . (In editing this most recent episode, I have noticed we tend to assume a first-name basis for the artists we listen to the most. The episode about Yes - also coming soon - includes a lot about "Steve," for example, and I find myself referring to "Todd" a lot. Does anyone else do this? Does anyone feel a little weird about it, now that they're thinking about it? I'm REALLY overthinking this one.) . #toddrundgren #utopia #toddrundgrensutopia #awizardatruestar #somethinganything #helloitsme #anotherlive #albumart #saturdayspins #amlistening #vinylcollection #recordcollection #shelfie #shelfporn #records #vinyl #saturdaymorning #weekendvibes #progressiverock #progrock #progrockpodcast #progressiverockappreciationsociety https://ift.tt/2Lu89xt

Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard, A True Star" is a mind-bending 56-minute journey into a frenzied mix of psychedelic pop, progressive hard-rock and blue-eyed soul. Overlooked on it's original 1973 release for it's chaotic structure and lack of singles, the albums stature and influence grew over the decades and has since proven to be the creative high-point in Rundgren's impressive 50+ year career. An all-time shop favourite, finally available again on vinyl! #toddrundgren #awizardatruestar @musiconvinyl @rocket_au (at Beatdisc Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCw-S8HhbyU/?igshid=1jc2kt0ygeprn

Happy 65th Birthday to my favorite musician of all time, Todd Rundgren. Toasting this master somgwriter/beach bum with a Strand Brewing Atticus IPA. If you haven't delved into his discography yet, get your hands on "Something/Anything?" & "A Wizard, A True Star" ASAP. Then, do work on the rest of his 70s/80s output. Best advice I've ever given. Cheers, Todd! by thepettybrewgeois http://instagram.com/p/a30sLon4_N/
