I spent all summer 2012 getting into desert rock. Welcome to Sky Valley by Kyuss isnt exaaactly where i'd start. Definitely the most mainstream release of anything you'd find, but most anything from the Man's Ruin catalogue is where I'd direct you. Fatso Jetson - Flames for All is a good place (if a later entry in the scene). earthlings? - Human Beans is also great.

Really though? I'd say start right at the source. Welcome to Meteor City was a compilation some small indie label released a short time after the scene had broken up mostly. They coined the name of the scene after it had mostly dissolved. The idea was to compile a bunch of bands influenced by Kyuss' impact after they broke up. Mostly California groups of course, a few European bands (Scandinavian if memory serves) and even sHEAVY from Newfoundland.

Oh, and though they weren't directly connected with the scene at all, I'd say it's worth your time to give Melvins a spin. Lysol and Bullhead and sludgy summer fun bags.

I would go with something with a lot of songs. For example the Definitive Collection (https://www.amazon.com/Patsy-Cline-Definitive-Collection/dp/B0002B163W/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2MIR3QTMPKFW9&dchild=1&keywords=patsy+cline+the+definitive+collection&qid=1623197241&s=music&sprefix=Patsy+cline+def%2Caps%2C164&sr=1-2) has 20+ songs. I have found very few songs of her’s I didn’t like.

I'm a big Gordon Lightfoot fan myself. Amazon had a deal on all but his first four albums for 7.99 as mp3s, so i bought it and began enjoying his work tremendously. I would start one of three ways:

1. His first four albums are available as a double CD for 10 bucks. While I think his middle years stuff is the best, these first four are a great way to get started, and his first album is one of my favorites.

2. His greatest hits is a great 20 song set covering much of his career and lots of great, well-known songs. Can't go wrong with a smattering of a bit of everything, right?

3. If you want a specific album to start on, I think Sundown is his most famous, and has a bunch of great songs. I also think Sit Down Young Stranger would be good to start on (renamed to If You Could Read My Mind in the US)

Good luck plumbing Gord's gold :)

They have a bunch of studio albums spanning their 30 year career but they really shined live. There are a bunch of official releases of full shows and tour compilations as well.

They allowed fans to record their shows as long as the tapes weren't being sold. Today you can find over 9,000 recordings free here. Their sound changed a bunch over the years with practice and lineup changes. Here's a bit of a rundown:

1965 - 1970 A bit more surf rock and blues. The shows were shorter and except for a few jams (mostly the song Dark Star).

1970 - 1977 There were a few famous tours where things just gelled. Most frequently recommended are Europe '72 and Cornell '77.

1990 Spring of '90 was what the band considered to be one of their best periods. They just released a mix some best performances called the Other Ones. Also take a peek at Without a Net which was an official release.

Key things to check out for a well rounded review. Most are on Spotify/Beats/etc: Closing of winterland (released as a DVD) 2-11-69- released as a CD Dead Ahead (1980's show at Radio City. 1/2 acoustic. Should be on YouTube as well) Without a Net 5-8-77 and 5-9-77 (available at the Archive.org link).

I finally get to see them tomorrow in Lancaster, Pa. I am too pumped! Couldn't we all is one of my favorite songs, so damn catchy, and I really like the way they cover Phish, definitely a great show! I really enjoyed https://archive.org/details/PPPP2011-04-01 first time they played horizon and they played it well!

You can't go wrong with the Aladdin Recordings. http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-complete-aladdin-recordings-mw0000274647

This website has some good suggestions. It can be hard with guys like Hopkins because their stuff has been reissued so many times. http://fingerstyleblues.com/lightnin-hopkins/

Do you mean Houellebecq is a prick? S.T. Joshi is the foremost Lovecraft scholar and his biography is supposed to be authoritative. He doesn't seem like a prick in the two AMAs he did for /r/Lovecraft. He seems fairly lite on the hero worship. He is also critical of Lovecraft's racism and occasionally silly aesthetic choices. I haven't read Joshi's books though.

That's a great question and I would love to hear an answer from a more seasoned cook.

But when I went to college someone gifted me the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook which was amazing! It is separated by type of meal and ingredients. I have made many of the dishes in there and they were all very good.

Hey there!
Sorry for the late answer, but thanks a lot for the input.
Got myself this Great Tales of Horror-collection in the end and I'm already eager to start reading!
