Tonight’s selections from Memphis’ Big Star.
.
Stroke It Noel [1975]
.
Big Star’s Third is a bleak yet inspiring album. Alex Chilton was going through the breakup of his band, a divorce and a lawsuit against his management company. Big Star’s 3rd is the sound of a man whose life is falling apart. Still, it’s a beautiful record.
Nightime [1975]
.
Take Care [1975]
.
Thank You Friends [1975]
.

The Murder City Devils :: 364 Days [1998]
.
I own #666 of 1000 of this record. Lucky me! Love this band. When punk rock kids learn about KISS and Alice Cooper. Seeing them at the Bottom of the Hill in SF is among the best live shows I’ve seen. The Napa reds and Colombian whites may have something to do with it :D
