Random Album Effect - Eat

Started off the set with The Allman Brothers Band's Eat A Peach from 1972. I would see the bans a few months after this record was released. We certainly listened to this album a lot in the 70's living in our house in Germantown. It sounded great playing loud in the kitchen the other day although they did seem to over extend themselves on that 40 minute Mountain Jam but of course I can remember getting up to flip the record for part 2 back in the day.

Next up was the second album from singer songwriter Susan Justice and Eat Dirt released in 2012. She has a jazzy soulful folk pop style with very pleasant melodies. An enjoyable album that was a nice change after the Allmans.

But when Blondie came on next that was really a change and they sounded great with their first song on the album Dreaming. Eat to the Beat was their fourth album and was released in 1979 after their massive hit record the previous year. Lots of wonderful songs on this New Wave album and I loved every moment of it.

The next album up was very different. I guess one could call Black Moth Super Rainbow a psychedelic indie electronic lo-fi noise pop band or something like that. Eating Us released in 2009 is their fourth album and has a little more studio gloss than their previous recordings but they certainly still sound weird and very listenable. I really like all of their albums that I have... all nine of them.

Then I was suddenly listening to the post-rock atmospheric experimental Latin tinged sound of the Apostle of Hustle. I knew immediately this was not BMSR anymore. It must have been the guitars and percussion. This band is a spinoff of Broken Social Scene and the album here Eats Darkness, their third, was released in 2009. It's a wonderful album and sounded great. It followed BMSR perfectly and was one of those moments that I love about doing this Random Album Effect process. Sometimes it really works well. This entire set was a trip.
