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.

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.
