Day 20 - Lesser Known Artist

How long have I been in the prog rock fandom, and few people remember or even know about Steve Hillage! :,(

[go-go-devil]

Nothing like going to a record convention to kick off the new year, and holy hell did I have a successful hunt! In fact, this may very well be the BEST haul I've ever taken home in my history of vinyl hunting!

So many records that I'd been waiting literal years to find out in the wild were all found during my first 20 minutes at the place: Acquiring the Taste, Pawn Hearts, In Camera, Spirit of Eden, and even a reasonably priced copy of Wish You Were Here! About damn time too, it was painful going so long without the LAST Pink Floyd album I needed in my collection T_T

I even stumbled upon some rare, unexpected finds. I've known about Sally Oldfield's Water Bearer for close to a decade yet this is the first time I've ever seen anyone carry her. Same with the Gong and Steve Hillage record and especially Art Bears. As for the Stevie Wonder album, I grabbed it because it has "Higher Ground" which is one of my favorite songs of his, but I'm actually not familiar with the full record and am excited to check it out!

one day i became suddenly obsessed with hearing a weird song i came across on youtube but all i could remember about it was the fact that it had a 70s band in a circle with baby crying noises in the background in the beginning of the video and then performing while dressed like gnomes. so this is what my search history looked like

I've started learning how to play a drum set at my school and honestly. To be completely honest with you all. It's making me very tempted to make a TVD band au a la Daisy Jones

I know I've said this before, but Oliver being a Fleetwood Mac fan just makes sense to me

I should get into drugs really fast so that I can go to that Fat Dog gig in February high on something. I've seen them twice sober it's time to add an extra pizzaz

(this is 100% a joke I am not brave enough to do that, but it's something I would love in theory)
