ROOFTOP MINI GOLF - KIDS WOULD PLAY THIS ALL DAY. SO WOULD I

Here's my pitch for a house on the beach in Peru with Toby Hendy.

It's got a forno pit and we can put a studio in the basement.

Think she'll go for it?

Space Ace has left the planet. He helped found the long lasting band Kiss and wrote Cold Gin. He always had the toughest makeup to copy, complicated shapes and hard to find silver color. He had one hell of a life and will be missed.

The other record from my wishlist that the seller had was the first Hot Chocolate record. It was J who got me listening to Hot Chocolate. He was a big fan. He had gifted me the Greatest Hits record, but I am looking to getting into the deep cuts.

For what may be my final #SpaceAceSunday (forever? for a while?), I am publishing the massive post on my memories of the 80s Boston post punk scene that I was working on when J died. As I speak to in my Author's Note, the Digital LoFi blog had become in a lot of ways a conversation between J and I. Not surprisingly, when he died I put aside the post, not sure if I would finish it. And when I picked it up I found I just wanted to address J directly. So I did. To say I'm bummed he didn't stick around long enough for me to share it with is an understatement. But I know he would have been excited to read it and had lots of thoughts.

"Not saying he would’ve liked all the bands, records I’m writing about, but he loved to talk shop."

This one is for J.

Pretty regularly I see a post or joke that makes me wish J was still around so I could share it with him... to wit.

The next album SpaceAce submitted to this project is number 1025 in The List.

You might notice that, compared to the number for the previous SpaceAce Sunday, this one comes in quite farther down The List. SpaceAce’s intent with his original submissions for the project was largely to bring us all up to speed on what was going on in UK folk/folk rock in the 60s and 70s. While we still have a couple more from this area coming up in future SpaceAce Sundays, most of his later additions were trying to fill other gaps in The List that still remained after the dust had settled a bit.

I can’t remember the exact context,* but one day while chatting on Mastodon we were both shocked/appalled to realize that no one had yet added a Hüsker Dü album to The List – a Bob Mould album, but no Hüsker Dü. I could’ve picked one myself but SpaceAce volunteered as tribute. Turns out, he picked the same one I would’ve.

Zen Arcade is the second album from Hüsker Dü, and is both a double album and a concept album, a hardcore opera, if you will. If you’re new to this band or just wanting to relisten to something of theirs, you really can’t go wrong choosing an album, they’re all the correct choice. But, thanks to SpaceAce, the choice is made for us today.

In memory of our dearly missed friend, let’s raise a glass and take a listen together.

• Songlink: Hüsker Dü – Zen Arcade
• Discogs: Hüsker Dü – Zen Arcade

*Isn’t it ironic (don’t you think), seeing as “husker du” apparently means “do you remember”.

The next album SpaceAce submitted to this project is the second studio album from Scottish psychedelic folk band The Incredible String Band, number 487 in The List.

For those who have seen my toots particularly around January, you may know that I’m a huge David Bowie fan. Around when he left us, I came across the list of 25 of Bowie’s favorite albums (as told to Vanity Fair in 2003), saved the list on my desktop, and added a few of the albums to my playlist/collection. However, after having to retire the ol’ laptop, I sort of forgot about that list, at least until yesterday, when I randomly put on Tucker Zimmerman’s wonderful Ten Songs by Tucker Zimmerman. And then, when I sat down today to take a listen to SpaceAce’s next submission, lo and behold, within a couple clicks around to look it up, there that list was again.

While I’d have loved to hear SpaceAce’s comments on this album, we’ll have to make do with Bowie’s:

O.K., here’s the album with the trippiest cover. Color’s all over the place on this one, a real eye dazzler. Probably executed by the art group known as “the Fool.” Pretty much locked into a time capsule for many years—it’s uplifting to find that this strange assortment of Middle Eastern and Celtic folk-mystic stuff stands up remarkably well now. A summer-festival “must” in the 60s, myself and T. Rexer Marc Bolan both being huge fans.

We’ll listen to the debut album of this band later down the road, as it’s also in The List. But, for now, in memory of our dearly missed friend (and Bowie), let’s raise a glass and take a listen together.

Missing J a lot this past week. Here’s a picture he posted that’s on the mild side of “spice” and I don’t this I need to sensitive media this. No idea about the source or photographer.

Ok, J. I like this one a lot.

The last records J. ever sent me were 3 Melvins records that were duplicates from his collection. He was out to change my mind about the Melvins. Has it? Well, I’m determined to get on his wave length about this.

Our next spotlight from the albums that SpaceAce submitted to this project is number 1056 in The List.

When I finished indexing The List, I realized that we only had one album from 1966, and so I asked Mastodon if there really weren’t any good albums released that year. SpaceAce immediately sent over a list of 10 albums in his personal vinyl collection that were worthy of The List, including this one. We haven’t yet finished going through his initial submissions of British folk/folk rock, but I’ve been so curious about this one, and am letting it jump the queue.

Also, as I’m writing this, tomorrow (September 6) is both SpaceAce’s memorial and birthday in real life* and I’m sad, so I wanted something peppier. And, after listening, I somehow feel like this Cher album is a good reflection of SpaceAce. It’s cheese but the good cheese. Down to earth. A bit of spice right beside a bit of class. A lot of great musical history in one package. An old soul.

Anyway, this is Cher’s third studio album, released on the heels of Sonny & Cher’s first hits in 1965 (“Baby Don’t Go” and “I Got You Babe”) and Cher’s first solo hit (“Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”) from her other 1966 album, The Sonny Side Of Chér. Following the tradition of her first two albums, this album is largely composed of covers (including a great Dylan cover) with one song written by Bono (the Sonny Bono, of course). It’s so good I listened to it twice. Thanks, SpaceAce.

In memory of our dearly missed friend, let’s raise a glass and take a listen together.

Amidst all that is going on today, at 6pm U.S. Central time the real world friends and family of our fallen Mastodon comrade SpaceAce/Dexter/Robotron will gather for a memorial service in Des Moines, Iowa, on what would have been his 53rd birthday.

It is with no small regret that I am not able to attend (financially, logistically it was unfeasible, tho I was debating about it as recently as this past Monday). Instead @buffyleigh and I were thinking that it those of us who knew him from these parts could have our own tribute here on Mastodon.

I don't know what form this will take. Perhaps we might organize a video chat at some point down the line. But for now, if you want to share any of your memories of Jason, any jokes, any music, any "spicy" pictures, go ahead and tag them #SpaceAce or respond to this thread.

As most of you know, J. was very, very special to me for reasons I can't really fully articulate. I was just getting to know him and already we had such a connection that went beyond how much we had in common. His death has ripped a hole in me. But one thing that has made it more bearable is all the love and support here on Mastodon. All of you who also had a connection with SpaceAce sharing in that love and joy and the shock of the loss.

#AlbumOfTheDay

Various Artists - This Is Boston Not L.A.

Playing this and thinking of SpaceAce. One of my favorite pieces of the mystery that was J., his love and deep knowledge of Boston Hardcore. I think in his youth he was bequeathed a lot of zines from someone (his older brother?). I wish I remembered which zine it was. Did it just have a scene report or was it all about Boston? Anyway, he had full albums by most of these bands. He was a faithful fan. He especially liked The Freeze, and this was always my favorite band on this comp. They are clearly such good musicians. I never much got into Boston hardcore much beyond listening to the shit out of this record when I was 16/17. J. was excited about a forthcoming rerelease of a later SSD record on vinyl which he had preordered. :blobcatSad: In fact, my one SS Decontrol record was given to me several months ago from J., when he sent me a pile of his dupes and some cheesecake pictures like it was a WWII contraband.
