My love...

When I acquired basically an entire record collection from Bill after getting my own turntable, it took me a while to discover this jewel of an album. Supposedly of the psychedelic genre, this album, Just for Love, by Quicksilver Messenger Service, is superb, to put it simply.

It is really refreshing to listen to after being subjected to the same 15 songs over and over on Jammin' 95.5FM or the same 100 or so songs from my playlist of favorites in iTunes. Now I am afraid that I will overplay the 10 min 32 sec song I love, called "The Hat." It's so easy to just pick up the needle and replay the song again and again! I have been told that isn't good for vinyl, but hey, nothing lasts forever!

Looking at this album cover, I don't know what one might expect of their music, but this is definitely a good record to put on and just chill out to. I can handle listen to "jam rock" (like Phish for example) so this music suits me just fine. There aren't many other people I know who indulge in this sort of music very much, so I guess listening to this album is a unique pleasure of mine.
