  7. KEITH MOON
    Two Sides Of The Moon
    1975 U.S. pressing

    Quite frankly, one of the worst, MOST HORRIBLE albums ever made.
    If the survival of millions of kids depended on me making it through this abysmal dryhump, then I’m sorry, millions of kids are going to die.

    A lot of people try to stand up for this album and say it’s parody or satire, but those people are morons.
    I AINT BUYING IT.
    It’s just plain awful, period.

    I was in my basement going through some “get rid of” boxes, just double checking if it was all worth getting rid of.
    I pulled this out because I wanted to see if it was as reprehensible as I remember.

    Turns out…

    ITS WORSE.

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  21. New #review today: "#JohnEntwistle’s bass playing was integral to the music of #TheWho, but he was only responsible for writing a handful of the group’s songs. But some of those songs were among the most memorable in The Who’s catalog, and were staples of their live shows. Sing Wistle Tunes is an homage to Entwistle’s songwriting, featuring 17 tracks done by #ExNorwegian along with various guests." #ExposeOnline #ClassicRock #PsychedelicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/
