a few days ago, a friend posted something on Facebook to the effect of:
"I forgot that I love Jane's Addiction"
He went on to say that JA was one of the bands that his friends often played, and he liked their music - but back when music wasn't "free" and instantly accessible - he just never got around to buying any.
It got me thinking... what music have I forgotten that I love? This song comes from one such album. I remember buying the CD for one song in particular (that played at the club I frequented) and I turned out loving the whole album. Upon listening again... this song sounds a little to me like some of the work thenewgreen has been cranking out lately... which is to say... I love it.
and hey - who doesn't love a song called Slender Fungus?
Anyway - you can trip out to the whole album if you want.
So think back hubski - what music have you forgotten that you love?
That is a tough question since most of us can not remember what we have forgotten.
But I I came up with a choice. I heard this in a (pre-internet) record store when I was a teenager, they wouldn't sell it to me and I could not read the liner notes as they were in Russian. But I remembered the name and searched in every store I could. Never found it and never met anyone that had heard of it so I forgot about it. Then 20 years or so later I googled "Soviet Funk Jazz 1970s" and finally found it.

edit: Here is another one. I was thinking about what pop song I loved when I was little. TIL: 1) Henry Gross was a founding member of Sha Na Na; 2) at 18 was the youngest person to perform on the Woodstock main stage; and 3) the song was written about the death of The Beach Boy's Carl Wilson's Irish Setter.
