In a Rut, Be Anyone You Want to Be


I got back much of my lost music & now I need to fix the hole in this here blog where the rain gets in & stops my mind from wondering what I'll listen to next.

I'm going on temporary hiatus until I do some repairs.

Here are two releases recorded in the 70s to mull over while I'm away.



When the Ruts appeared at the 1978 Deeply Vale Festival they were still largely unknown outside of London. However, that was all soon to end. The Ruts put on a fiery show with all the blistering intensity that the Ruts became known. "Babylon's Burning" & "Jah Wars" would go on to become anthems for an entire generation.

You Can Be Anyone This Time Around is an album by Dr. Timothy Leary released in April 1970. The disc features three spoken word narrations by Leary backed with psychedelic music including musical contributions from Jimi Hendrix, Stephen Stills, John Sebastian, & Buddy Miles recorded during an all-night jam session at the Record Plant, 321 West 44th Street, New York City.

The title track & "What Do You Turn On When You Turn On" both feature sampling of music by other artists, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, & Ravi Shankar. This is one of the earliest known examples of sampling on a commercial record. (In 1970, the Record Plant became the first recording studio designed for mixing quadraphonic sound.)

Can You See My Smile from Where You Are?




Every Muslimgauze release, all the lost RootBoy Slim, the entire Around the World Project & so, so  unbelievably muchly missed more has been resurrected. I am forever in debt to Wallace C., a follower of this here blog & interweb friend (who, don’t let anyone try to convince you differently, can be as true a friend as your face-to-face, flesh-to-flesh friends though you've never met) volunteered to try & work his Dada Data Recovery magick on my long dead Iomega.

Today I received the results of that magick by UPS.  



This boy's got his shit back!







Weird shit stirring in my brain. The last thing I uploaded to the external HD before it died was David Bowie - Blackstar September 11, 2016 at 21:20.






On a post called Alzheimers, Osteoporosis, & Incontinence I posted up in February 2013. It was a band called Common Ailments of Maturity, hence the post name. About that post, I received a comment in July 2017 from Unknown: "Hello, please can you re-up this one? :-D   Thanks a lot! I've only found the None Whatsover comp and 'Stake' sounds so rad...so curious to listen the whole album." This is the oldest request I have not been able to address until today. The only copy I had was a digital rip of the vinyl on the cursed external.

It is now re-uploaded. I  may never know, but, Unknown, if you somehow find that I honored your request...eventually, leave a comment. I love shit like that.


So the first song I wanted to hear was "Jawani Zindabad" by Musilgauze. Here it is to share with you all, along with its sibling songs...
