Who's next

Never ceases to amaze.  For me, The Who only have 3 essential records...but they're so essential, it elevates time to one of the all time greats...

I was going to work my way through the studio discography earlier this year but decided to do Kiss instead. I think I'll start it now. I've just bought Pete Townsend's autobiography last week so it'll tie in nicely.

Sounds like a great plan. I always found the Who to be band that made the 60s to 70s transition the best.
Let's find out!

Yes! They'd morphed seamlessly from mods to rockers by 1968, with a cursory nod to psychedelia along the way.

Fluisteraars - De Kronieken van het verdwenen Kasteel - Nergena

Dutch Black metal, fantastic. My favourite of theirs is "Bloem" (Flower) with a cover of a poppy in bloom on the cover. They write songs about where they live (which is where we always go on holiday, so I can relate a little bit), what once was and maybe still is. Oh and everything is in Dutch :-) The one I am listening to now translates to "the Chronicles of the Lost Castles".
I suppose you have to like metal in general, and this specific niche in particular to be able to appreciate it. The good thing is: it is not Satanic in any way (which is a bit childish), there is no corpsepaint, burning candles and animal skulls. It's 2 guys making music.

I can't resist a nice print - this arrived last week - 2 x A2 size signed prints to commemorate their recent Albert Hall Teenage Cancer Trust gigs. The quality of the printing is really quite beautiful, its almost like a proper painting, rather than something that has been knocked out from a laser printer...

All proceeds to Teenage Cancer Trust as well, which was an added incentive / bonus.

Gets the wife approval, which is nice.  Getting them framed up this week...

PG plays live. Released after the 4th studio album this is Peter at his brilliant best for me. Brilliant live album not only due to the fantastic material on offer

The Who - My Generation (accompanied by Slim's insightful notes).
I've never heard it before but the last track 'The Ox' really highlights the fact that Moon's previous band was 'surf-rock' act The Beachcombers (source: Qobuz - 'artist notes')
