100,000 Hits!!! Wow!

I'd like to take a quick moment to thank all 10 of my blog visitors for visiting 10,000 times each. I know I asked a lot to bloat up the count and make it look like I've been doing something worthwhile here! But, seriously, so far it's been a lot a fun. I've kind of been slacking off the last few days due to outsides forces that command me to be in other circles besides this one, the one I enjoy the most, but I guess if life was just fun and games all the time then that would get boring too. So anyways, thanks to all of you who continually visit here and help me out, and share your knowledge and turn me on to new stuff as well (something I hope I have been acomplishing from time to time). I hope that we can do this for at least another 100,000.



First up, this evening is a CD. It was originally recorded circa 1970 and then shelved until the wonderful cats at Sundazed deemed it a worthy release. It's the Canterbury Fair album. Nice stuff.

The first time I heard Psycho, I went nuts, and have loved the Sonics ever since. They are "the" garage band in my opinion. They stuck pencils in their amps to get what could only be called the first grunge sound in existance. A very punk thing to do, I might add. The pic over there is of the LP release, but the rip here is from a CD, and all distortion and rotten sound is courtesy of the Sonics themselves. This stuff is tame compared to the paint peeling sounds they would soon be making, but it's fun to hear the origins of the band.

Yet another from my vinyl archive comes one of my favorite Vanilla Fudge Lps by the Heads. This one's called Heads Up and was released on the Liberty label in 1969. They have the VF moves down to a tee, and even have the cover tunes covered, on this slab those are a sludgey version of the fab four's Day Tripper and a peppy version of Knock on Wood. The volume was a tad too low when I recorded this long ago, so crank this one up a bit. It's a fun album. Pops and crackles included free of charge, to let you know I care about authenticity!!

And finally tonight (at least from me, below I have some gifts from some friends) is a request from awhile ago for some Legs Diamond. I finally dug one of them out. This is the first LP from 1977. Hard rockin' stuff and quite good, I might add. I have more of these guys, so if the response is good, I'll get 'em posted. Sorry this one took so long.

As many of you know, the Groovy Fab Alliance is over (long live the Groovy Fab Workshop{blog} and Forum!!) and although my Linda Ronstadt post was killed, my other two are still alive, so, even though they are off the beaten path of what I usually share here at Casa Time Traveller, I will stick them here in hopes they live a bit longer. They are no longer txt files, just the actual downloads.

The first one is Woody Guthrie Sings Folk Songs from 1962

The other is Ron Wood's I've Got My Own Album To Do from 1974.

And now some tuneage from friends, some sent to help me on my quest to own every album ever made in the universe (just kidding, I will not own a Helen Reddy album, period). These are from a huge Bijelo Dugme fan in Bosnia and he really went above and beyond and sent quite a lot of great stuff, some of which I haven't even gotten to yet. But he graciously gave me permission to share, and would love to hear any comments on this stuff so please leave a few if you have some time.

Thanks Quakasu!!!

Text below is from his original email:

I uploaded the first four studio albums of Bijelo Dugme, two first
albums of Time, and 2 disc compilation of Indexi (a very old band, they
started playing in 1962!, had only two or three LPs, and whole bunch of
singles throughout 60's, 70's & 80's, disbanded in 2004 when their
singer died) and 'The best of' compilation of Smak (they started in
1972).
