Canis, our friend Governor Slugwell (on Twitter) worked with Mose Allison for over a decade as a road manager. He would sit in on guitar as needed.

Note, when the above song was released in 1979 on a Liverpool compilation LP, it was titled "Monkies." In 1978 & 1979, the band was using "Echo," a drum machine.

Echo went on to have a successful career as a studio drum machine. 😉

@CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @Bobk37

TREY IS A GIANT FAN. Just ask him about "Face Value."

@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @Bobk37

Korg “Echo” Mini Pops Jr. from his wildly unpopular MTV Unplugged performance.

@Bix @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @Bobk37

This is 100% true. 😎

Roland Corp gave Tony, Mike, Phil a 1st-gen drum machine circa ‘79 and it became almost as ubiquitous as the Padgham/Lillywhite “gated reverb.”

Also — L Shankar is on “Face Value” so 🤷🏻‍♂️🤓

Thanks Lisa. You are a good egg, even if things didn't work out w/ Trey. ;-)

You can tell that I love most genres of music, I want a buffet of styles.

@Bix @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @Bobk37

Backatcha, Bixie. 💞 I was raised to appreciate all music genres, and I'm glad I was.

I'll always have a special bond with Trey. We share custody of a couch so we learned how to make it work. 😎

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @Bobk37
When compact discs first came out, I couldn't afford many of them. So, I could only buy a few of them, Rush & the best of Al Green[❤️❤️]. Then, I collected New Wave and Power Pop [Cheap Trick rules].
Now, I try to collect most genres - in CD, FLAC or MP3 320KBpS formats.

Once in a while, I think that Cheap Trick At Budokan: The Complete Concert is the greatest rock CD that I own.

This nuclear A-bomb wasn't even on the 1978 LP.

Bix - did you ever hear the redone version of In Color that they did with Steve Albini as producer? The story I heard was that they weren't happy with the way the original version (produced by Tom Werman) came out, so they went back into the studio with Steve Albini and redid it. Here's the Albini produced version of I Want You To Want Me

@Bobk37 @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @evamarie

Thanks, Bob.
Yes, I have played them before via Youtube. I think that I forgot to add them to my collection.

I tell people that Cheap Trick is the gold standard of putting out great LP's in a row. Of course, there is Zeppelin.

I like “The Flame” and “Hot Dog,” Bixie.

Why didn’t you put those on there?

💔😏

@InUnfunky @Bobk37 @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @evamarie
Sorry Trey, they didn't write those songs - disqualified.

@Bix @Bobk37 @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @evamarie

Yeah but Page/Plant wrote “Hot Dog,” so…

And what is this oblique reference — more mud shark-esque antics? 😱🤷🏻‍♂️🤓

@InUnfunky @Bobk37 @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @evamarie
Note, I have never played this LP, Lap of Luxury, until now. It is bad as compared to their best LPs.

Hey Bixie!

What’s better — “Sgt. Pepper” or Cheap Trick’s tribute to same?

(Yes, it’s a decent album.)

Charge of rickrolling via “The Flame” and lp? Guilty.

Charlie hates this album because his producer made it so 1980-ish poppy, which is why I love it.

Of course you did.

It wasn’t Lisa’s fault, Bixie — I was dumb and immature. Still am. 😱😝

@InUnfunky @Bix @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Eulimnadian @UmbaSaffire @Bobk37

Not dumb, just a little insensitive, but it was minor...99% of the time you are thoughtful and kind. 😊😎❤️
