My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy. That being mentioned, aspect two of Join Inn is basically gorgeous. Side lengthy jams, one in a guitar trio type and one aspect of spacy whoosh on each document. Spiky, gnarled, percussive guitar instrumental tracks. Reissued with SIX bonus tracks. Get the Captain Trip reissue CD so that you get the 2 7” bonus tracks. Turned it off after just a few tracks. Inevitably, John had a number of different ideas — prize choices that, in the identify of fine style, had to be refused or faraway from the final setup: Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ, and Adolf Hitler! I’ll keep it for the spooky swirly misanthropy of “Suitcase Handler” and some different tracks however I don’t see me re-listening to this in the close to future. This debut was reissued on CD with further tracks so after all I needed to have it.
Have you ever made a sex tape? I had all of his data up to the new 3LP set on vinyl, however I stopped being a completist at some point (and have now bought some) cuz the man is just such a dick sometimes and likewise that Chin Spirits 10” was really bad.
