That Record Got Me High PodcastJane's Addiction 'Nothing's Shocking' with Nick Ramirez (Worst Little Podcast) In 1988 at the 31st annual Grammy Awards, a new category was introduced: Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental.

This amazing collection of singles released in 1980/81 defies categorization – but Berlin-era Bowie and mid-70s Roxy Music is a fair comparison. Main men Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine combine fiercely intelligent lyrics and cinematic soundscapes to create desolately beautiful tales of dreams, nightmares and urban paranoia.

That Record Got Me High PodcastS3E121 - Jefferson Airplane "After Bathing at Baxter's" w/Richard Metzger of Dangerous MindsCounter culture icon and Editor of Dangerous Minds (www.dangerousminds.net), Richard Metzger, dove into the psychedelic deep end of the pool to discuss a record that STILL gets him high: Jefferson Airplane's darker, heavier follow-up to Surrealistic Pillow, "After Bathing at Baxter's". Coffee was consumed, minds were expanded, and by the end the Summer of Love felt more like a hazy hangover. Support Rob and Barry, and That Record Got Me High at https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH

Guess what happened? It didn't sell as well as Rocket To Russia, despite the presence of the obvious(?) radio hit "I Wanna Be Sedated," and the upgraded rhythmic pulse provided by new addition Marky Ramone. Rob, Barry and Is This Tomorrow's Woody Compton take the QM18 bus from midtown to Forest Hills, Queens on the Road To Ruin.

The Cars were the first full-fledged card-carrying members of the club to sneak past the programming managers at rock radio.

David Bowie covered TWO of their songs on his Pinups album, and wrote a song with their name in the title. This album is a gem, simultaneously tough and warm, musically ambitious but appealing, and rewards repeat listenings with layers of meaning and musical details. Produced by Norman Smith (Beatles engineer, early Pink Floyd producer) at Abbey Road.

Joni's meisterwerk is indeed a penetrating and impeccable portrait of the early 1970s music scene, and her legendary voice is all over it. The LA studio pros who back her up give it some jazz cred, and Five Stars is probably not enough to give it. Unless you're Rob Elba. Listen in and find out what goes on.
