Bossman just hooked me up with a copy of the Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe set.

I will be rocking mightily (to use an Endinoism) until the end of my shift tonight.


Also recently purchased:

The Rolling Stones - Aftermath: mostly so I can listen to "Paint It Black" and "Under My Thumb" over and over and over.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame: Much to my surprise, this shit is really good. (I've only barely dabbled in fusion.) I dunno if John McLaughlin got into all that Scientology shit like Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea did, but this strikes me as less hippie/Hubbard-y and more rock than a lot of other fusion I've heard.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine: Haven't quite absorbed this one yet. I don't know if my brain can handle screaming in 17/8 time as well as it once could.

The Afghan Whigs - Going To Town EP: A British release with the studio version of "Going To Town", plus a pretty killer live version, and "Moon River" (!) I just saw a copy of this on Amazon for $49.00. I paid $5.00. Ha!

Oh, man, yeah - I never held my taste for fusion, be Mahavishnu is one that's always stuck. All the albums are pretty good, and there'es a live album that was released a few years ago that kicks ass. McLaughlin never went scientologist, but he went guru - he's major eastern mysticism freak boy. If you don't have it, also check out his early solo stuff - Electric Guitarist, and Love, Devotion, Surrender - the second being a collab with Santana - some of both's best playing. Apparently, and this could just be urban legend, there's a McLaughlin/Hendrix album in the can somewhere that McLauchlin won't let be released.
