I know that it's Monday, but this is a perfect time for a belated #VinylAndBeerSunday. It was a busy Mother's Day (which was terrific). So I didn't have the chance to dig into my vinyl collection. But I have been inspired by Pete Pardo's recent video on Sea of Tranquility on his favorite album from 1977. His pick was THE GRAND ILLUSION from STYX. It has been a while since I have spun this one on the turntable. And listening to it now is reminding me how much I loved this album when it was released. The tunes are loud, proggy, with generous amounts of 1970s style rock. And how can you go wrong with the title track, COME SAIL AWAY. MISS AMERICA, and SUPERSTAR. I have accompanied this fantastic collection with a Hazy IPA from PYRAMID BREWING. Their SUBLIMINAL STATE HAZY IPA is a solid brew with lots of flavor and zest. I have a suspicion that this is very good on tap. So....what are you listening to? What are you drinking? #vinyl #vinylcollection #styx @styxtheband #thegrandillusion #craftbeer #beerstagram #hazyipa #subliminalstate #pyramidbrewing @pyramidbrew #seaoftranquility @seaoftranquilitync (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAEd9iWAE1m/?igshid=1hkg5ldk2fqok

Styx "The Grand Illusion" LP. Dude, this might be my favorite sounding MFSL release, and that's saying something, as I own a lot of MoFi records from all their eras of issuing fine music. But this one brought me some extra joy. The title track is just thunderous, with the drums and bass exhibiting so much character and omph! I bought this press specifically for that song, which is one of my favorites, so the fact that it sounds so badass is gratifying. Styx (along with The Monkees) were one of the first bands I fell in love with as a little kid, mostly due to Mr. Roboto, but 4 year old me also appreciated the progressive pop stylings of the group at their finest, most commercial rocking moments from the mid to late 70's. The first CD I ever got, circa 1987, was "Kilroy Was Here", actually. So, I've been hearing Styx most of my life, and definitely first heard them on my dad's very capable, built for rock stereo system on both vinyl and CD. While I've mostly heard the title track and "Come Sail Away" on classic rock radio over the past decade, I can truly say this is the best I've ever heard them sound. By the time "Come Sail Away" came on I didn't expect I could be further impressed, but it sounded magical, and awesome, which is quite an accomplishment considering how overplayed that song is. The stereo mixing even had my dog super fascinated. She was sitting on me in my listening chair most of the side, just chilling, but then started looking around at the speakers when the sound started dancing forth in a curious manner during the side 1 closer. Even though I'm predominantly a fan of their rocking hits (don't much care for the ballads or deep cuts, sorry), so there are only 3 songs on the album that I'll keep coming back to, I'm really glad I have this press. It sounds phenomenal. #LP #Vinyl #Records #Styx #TheGrandIllusion #MFSL #MoFi #MobileFidelitySoundLab #MyMoFi #ComeSailAway #YouGuys https://www.instagram.com/p/B71pWFlJLtH/?igshid=1ctg47n8qm7yx
