Day 3996 - "Lady Terminator" DVD - 04.29.22

This is a film that I have known about by reputation for a while.  It is playing at the New Beverly as a midnight movie, but I'm not going.  I watched this film earlier in the month from a downloaded file and liked it enough to want to own it on DVD.  I just got the DVD in the mail.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3994 - Joni Mitchell's "Court And Spark" LP - 04.27.22

"Court And Spark" was the album on the list today.  I wrote the following.

I like Joni Mitchell quite a bit, but I haven't really listened to this album much. So I am not coming to this album with a lot of preconceived love. Overall my impressions of the album was that it was okay and that I need to devote a little more time to it before making up my mind. I feel like this one is suffering from me not being in the right headspace to take it in. I can say that it didn't put me off in a way that I never want to listen to it again, but I didn't call instantly in love with it either. That could be because of the content, but it could just as well be me.

This is something I saw today.

Day 3975 - Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies" LP - 04.08.22

Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies" was the album today on our 1001 albums list.  I wrote the following about the record.

To me this is the winner of the week. This album I have listened to many, many, many times over the years. I've had it for probably 20 years now at least. I picked it up when I was initially buying all the vinyl records in my collection. I was very into Alice back then and this album was and still is a favorite. I pretty much know this album inside and out and love every song. This album does a great job of mixing in the horror and the theatrical and the straight up rock and roll. This album has big hits which is awesome. "Hello Hurray", "Elected". "Billion Dollar Babies" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" are all huge classic Alice cooper tracks. But I love the deep cuts. "Sick Things" is great. "Mary Ann" is super great. "I Love The Dead", oh man this is everything I love. So dark. So and I hate to admit it, but so dark and funny. To me that is a track that is a bit of a litmus test. If you get it and like it, then you get Alice Cooper. If you don't like it and don't get why someone might like it , then I guess you just don't get what Alice Cooper was all about. And to be honest that it okay. This band and Alice Cooper himself is not for everyone, but her certainly is for me. I believe I mentioned Bob Ezrin a few weeks ago for his work with Lou Reed and said that we'd be hearing more from him, well this is one of those times. This is a Bob Ezrin joint through and through. So good.

This is something I saw today.
