05/28/2024 Chuck Berry held his LOVE Childe 'Rock & Roll' in his Arms on Y2K when she passed after a LONG DECLINE. From 1890 (Rag Time) to 1954 (Cool Jazz/BeBoop) Jazz was the Dominate Musical Expression of America until it morphed into that 'Chinese Music' (Louis Armstrong 1951) and was replaced by a black man who mixed Jump Blues & Boogie Woogie in 1955 about a suicidal Street Race and his Black Woman who 'Won't be True'. Berry thus invented ROCK!!! From 1955-Y2K, ROCK was the Dominate Musical Expression of America. Now Days, all they play is PAP (Swift) RAP (who cares) & CRAP (gym Work out mystique)...So for me, I either Dumpster Dive or search for 'Sound Alikes'. "We are all Entombed in the Music of Our Youth (Goncalves, 2001) and nothing will ever sound as good to our ears". Although I grew up in the 60's I came of Age in the 80s during POST PUNK (1977-1994) so I am at my happiest Grooving to 80's Post Punk College Radio Songs. Post Punk consisted of THREE WAVES First Wave (1978-1984) Second Wave (1985-1989) and Last Wave (1990-1994) or Roughly Joy Division to Nirvana. PALE BLUE EYES is a Last Wave POST PUNK 'Shoe Gazing Band' (Think Lush or My Bleeding Valentine). I discovered this ENGLISH OUTFIT by accident (Couldn't Sleep, Googled Post Punk Revival Bands). I was impressed---For a Debut LP, they hit it out of the Park. No stellar tracks on this LP but it is CONSISTANTLY GOOD (Like the first three Comstat Angels LPs or the first three THE SOUND LPs). Pale Blue Eyes (Enough with the Edgar Allen Poe references---or should I be snarky and hiss 'NeverMore'?!!!) put out an equally dishy sophomore LP called Souvenir---so I'm buying both!!! Did I mention I am both an Audiophile & a Tablist and only listen to VINYL? What is amazing is that these GEEZERS are in their twenties!!! That means, instead of suffering through OLDSTERS like Rain Parade, Pink Turns Blue & Chameleons---these guys are young enough to hit the Harmonies...Which is why I DEMAND, NOT REQUEST they come to OZ (Frisco) for a Command Performance...
