#somethinganything #toddrundgren #rickderringer #tonysales #huntsales #moogyklingman this record dedicated to my awesome friend @karen.glauber this seriously instantly memorable brilliant record has always been one of my fave - forget the fact of the some of the greatest records made were produced by Todd - this insanely talented song writer has some of the best songs ever written are on this double album #isawthelight #helloitsme #wolfmanjack #couldntijusttellyou the fact that He never played drums and bass before he recorded this album and almost played every instrument on many of the best songs then proceeded to record live sessions in both NYC and #bearsville #woodstock the liner notes are half the fun and the labeling of each side #breckerbrothers supply the horns - this is a musical journey as anyone calls a side of a record “ baby needs a new pair of boots ( a pop operetta ) yeah it’s all that + more Enjoy!

LET’S LEAVE HIM ALONE IN THE STUDIO, SEE WHAT HAPPENS #4. Okay, first, there aren’t too many songs I like more than “Couldn’t I Just Tell You” and I know I’m not alone. I know you love it, too. Much as I enjoy “Hello, It’s Me” and acknowledge that “I Saw the Light” is professionally catchy, the album is sort of a 2-disc vessel to carry the monster riff of “Couldn’t I etc,” the ambiguous lyrical message, his “Hear Me Ow-Oot” falsetto, the yelly verses and wistful chorus ....they just, oh you know, they kill a rock nerd dead. Second, before we traded mp3s illegally and burned borrowed CDs in our disc drives, we loaned each other our LPs to put on cassettes. I don’t know whose copy I recorded onto a Maxell cassette but I drove around listening to #toddrundgren having such a blast writing and playing all these different wonderful and not-as-wonderful songs and living in a studio (what a great shot inside the gatefold, so ....so romantic, I guess, to live that way, theoretically)... I got this copy cheap recently (you can see how beat up the cover is, but it plays fine). It all came back like I was driving around in the 80s in my overripe-banana-yellow Volvo DL noticing all his little studio decisions and details. #vinyl #somethinganything #helloitsme #isawthelight #couldntijusttellyou #couldntijusttellyouthewayifeel #icantkeepitbottledupinside #vinylcollection #vinyladdict #ellipticalsoundtrack #treadmillsoundtrack #nowspinning #nowspinningonvinyl (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvImrmenGkI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bc3nhw3cxcxq
It's a new month and a perfect time for a #VinylAndBeerSunday. I have been traveling quite a bit during the past several days. But I wanted to dig into a some newer music (for me). I recently discovered the vast catalog of TODD RUNDGREN. I didn't know much of his music aside for a few of his 1970s hits. It was suggested that I check out SOMETHING/ANYTHING. I found a nice copy of his 1972 release and I have to say that I am blown away by the inventive arrangements and tunes. I'm just catching up with RUNDGREN and this double album is filled to the brim with catchy tunes and imagination. I think that it will take a couple spins for me to fully appreciate it. Why did it take so long for me to get into this catalog? I have accompanied tonight's creative music with an equally inventive and creative brew from CULMINATION BREWING COMPANY in Portland, Oregon. I found a new brew to me that is apparently no longer in production. Their EUPHORIC BRETT IPA is a wild brew with lots of hops, bitterness, and funky overtones. It's also highly carbonated with lots of tropical flavor in the background. It's a perfect off kilter beer for a double album of eclectic tunes. So...what are you listening to tonight? What are you drinking? @the_todd_rundgren @culminationbrewing #toddrundgren #somethinganything #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #listeningmusic #sunday @sandandstain #spinning #records #brew #beer #beerstagram #culminationbrewing #euphoricbrettipa #ipa #wildale #portland #oregonbeer #beergeek #beerlove #indiapaleale (at Salem, Oregon)
