I don't think Miles played at the Monterey Pop Festival...you might be thinking of either Hugh Masekela at Monterey Pop (he plays trumpet and looks like a slightly thicker Miles), or Miles at Monterey Jazz, which is different than the one-time hippie fest of 1967.

Edit: The D.A. Pennebaker Monterey Pop movie is something everyone should see sometime, if for nothing other than Otis Redding's blow-the-fucking-roof-off performance, backed by Booker T and the MG's.

Completely understood. I liked progressive synthesizer stuff (at times) like Kraftwerk, Gary Newman and of course Rick Wakeman/Keith Emerson type stuff, remembered the audio novelty of the big switch (walter/wendy), but at heart I was always a guitar driven heavy/hard rock guy all the way.

Now it's nothing to find Black Sabbath and The Crystal Method in my CD changer simultaneously.

Beach boys. Loved em when I was a kid. Did not understand how incredible they were until I was much, much older.

Justin Timberlake. I suppose I had to develop an appreciation for him as an individual before I could get passed such universally acceptable lyrics.

Programming. If only I had known sooner.

Traveling abroad. Seriously.

Dylan...

Joni Mitchell's Hejira album. It took me about four complete hearings to start to get it -- before that, the songs sounded too similar to each other.

Also, I remember when I first heard West Side Story as a teenager -- I couldn't understand how anyone could like music that was so dissonant.

I stand corrected

Any new Depeche Mode album.

Ironically, I was going to ask Pitch Black earlier today if he had ever had a Tuatara. Now that is one cool herp.

check this out: In March 2009, a rare tuatara hatchling was found on the New Zealand mainland for the first time in about 200 years, at a fenced wildlife sanctuary.[9] The tuatara hatchling was found at the Karori Sanctuary Trust Te M?ra A T?ne, better known as the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, by Biosecurity Officer Bernard Smith while doing routine maintenance work in the sanctuary tuatara research area. Although adult tuataras and other species like morepork, kingfisher and weka are possible predators for this baby tuatara, hatching within the mammal-proof fence gives him better chances to reach adulthood. The discovery means that the Karori Sanctuary Trust Te M?ra A T?ne has successfully re-established a breeding population back on New Zealand mainland.

mushrooms. I thought they were just weird shit in salad or pot roast... then I went shrooming.

Radiohead Kid A and Amnesiac, which were also my first Radiohead albums, I gave them away to somebody

then, after a year or two I played some guitar bits in this indie band and was asked to play something a-la Jonny Greenwood. I had no idea who he was and the singer gave me the mp3 disc which had all the albums.

I had to give this a close listen and suddenly I fcking got it, got it to the degree that i couldnt think properly of anything else other than electronic music

then I quit the band

Jellyfish's Spilt Milk.

I always loved Bellybutton, but Spilt Milk never clicked with me and I sold it. Recently got to talking about Jellyfish with a colleague who suggested I try again. Love that album now. Too bad those two records are all they ever made.

you're one of the few people I've heard bring their name up. totally underrated band. I like Bellybutton more for its pure poppyness, Spilt Milk was a bit too produced. still, great albums. there's not a single bad track on Bellybutton. their show back in the day ('90?) was one of the best I've ever been to, I still have the plastic roses I caught in the audience.

I remember these guys. This is the second time that you have brought up an obscure band that I can fully agree are great. Bellybutton was among the very first CDs that I personally bought. It was within the first 20-30, that's for sure. I remember buying this CD just because I really liked the cover. Back then most all CDs came in a long box. I am sorry to say that I never even knew that they had a second album. Maybe I will pull this one out and give it a listen later this evening or over the weekend. I bet it's been a good 10 years since I have. Seems like I recall this one excellent song, most likely one of my favorites on the disc, that is about a father talking to possibly his child about not making the same mistakes he did. Something about a picture on a mantle possibly. Pretty moving tune actually. ST, you have a great way of jostling the memory. thanks.
