Today I Smell Like:

BPAL:The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Sublime peace, ecstatic joy, and thunderstruck awe: terebinth pine, patchouli, brown musk, linden blossom, honey, mallow, blood orange, heliotrope, and golden amber.

Well hello, Wind in the Willows *and* Pink Floyd? Win win! Earthy and hippie-like. I'm going to age this one I think though.

Listen:

Peter Gabriel 1: Car (1977)

Got this for Christmas on CD, had meant to add it to my collection for awhile anyway.

Peter has always been so creative and artistic. This was his first solo album after leaving Genesis.

It's a solid effort, and keeps the progressive sensibility, particularly in "Moribund The Burgermeister".

He also had a smash with "Solisbury Hill" here.

Read:

Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Legendary Neighborhood - Michael Walker

In the Los Angeles hills, just north of Sunset Boulevard, lies the neighborhood from where some of the most successful artists / singer-songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s lived and created.

People like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Joni Mitchell, the Mamas and the Papas, Eagles, Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison... This was the "golden age", the time of wild creativity and wonderful music.

It was an interesting, quick read. I enjoyed it because I'm of course a fan of many of these bands and artists anyway. While kind of uneven in places, and I felt could have been a bit better, I recommend it for something light and fun for fans of the same artists.

I also like them and Micky is my fav

14th-Nov-2005 06:39 am (UTC) - Well, HI THERE!

iamcyber

We share a legacy of

walgreenworkers here on LJ. Other than that, we share a LOT of interests (see my LJ for details) and are even in the same neck of the woods!

I used to be Hippie1973 originally on AOL when I first got online. I've always felt that I was a misplaced hippie (and from your interests, and even though you were born in the 60s, sounds like you're the same way). Nice to meet ya! :)

14th-Nov-2005 11:25 pm (UTC) - Re: Well, HI THERE!

hippie_chick

Nice to meet you too! :) Yay for fellow WAG workers... and fellow misplaced hippies! :) Added you back.

Well, at least we WERE in the same neck of the woods...you had the good sense to get AWAY from Chicago-style winters and to a warmer climate!

I just happened to find you because I was trying to find a picture of the back cover of Hard Labor by three dog night...you came up in the google..that back cover used to scare me so bad too...i was so afraid she'd come to life and haunt me or something, it's so eerie..i still have the album but i can't scan or anything like that on my computer...i saw you wrote...here it is...but when i clicked on it, it wouldn't let me see it...is there anyway you can put on your journal so i can download it? my name is Donna by the way...i don't have a live journal but maybe i'll start one...thanks for writing about that album...

sila_lumenn

Hi Hippie Chick, I'm Sila Lumenn. Stumbled onto your journal when I typed "donny osmond waxwork" into the Google search engine. You came up in second place! Still not sure why you came up, but I checked out your journal and your website and spent obscene amounts of time surfing through The Donny Zone.

I don't journal as much as I used to, but I'm going to add you to my friends list. Maybe you can add me, too.

BTW, I love your mood theme. Any chance you'd be willing to share? ;-)

Jellyfish! They rule!

Please add me back because I think we have some things in common. And I promise I won't bore you with pictures of high-tech racing cars (unless you really wanna see them).

Hi, i somehow came across your journal when looking for Donny Osmond icons, where can i get some? I like your emotions icons too. :)

25th-Jul-2008 06:57 pm (UTC) - is it too soon?

jesuscries

hi hippie chick!

love your name. I'm a new LJ user. I was just surfing when I found your page. I fell in love with you, cuz of the Beatles quote...Happiness is one, or even maybe, my favorite song of the Beatles. Excuse my poor english. It's my second language. I'm a french speaking person.

So I was wondering if you would be my first LJ friend? Or it's too soon. Do I have to tame you a little bit longer?

25th-Jul-2008 07:21 pm (UTC) - Re: is it too soon?

hippie_chick

Awww.. :) Hi and thanks for visiting!

I added you. Happy to be your first LJ friend.

Hello there!!

I was actually googling "Jeremy Hilary Boob" because I love him and your journal popped up. I love your Jeremy icon and if I could use it, I would be thrilled. You can check my profile, I always credit.

Have friended you as well. I was really enjoying your music posts. I love talking about (and listening to of course!) music. Hope you will add back!

Cheers!

7th-Nov-2008 11:10 pm (UTC)

Yes, you may yoink it if you wish. :)

Added you back, as well. Welcome.

gardengnomegeek

Thanks for the welcome. Glad to be here.

I shall yoink away. Thanks so much.

And I see you mentioning Pet Sounds. One of my all time favourites. I can honestly say my life would be completely different had I never heard the Beach Boys.

Hi there! I saw your username on SnS and had to check out your profile (my friends and family have nicknamed me the reincarnated hippie), and saw we have lots of things in common. I'd like to friend you, if that's ok?

16th-Dec-2008 07:49 pm (UTC)

hippie_chick

Not a problem, man. :) From one hippie to another, peace and love.

Hi!

You seem really great. I love the sixties and I adore Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison.

I found you through searching for others interested in Janis. I'll add you. Please add me too.

Peace x
