Album of the week 9-13-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 09/13/2025 - 3:00pm
Afternoon folks!
This week we've got two Chicago blues albums from lesser known Chicago blues guys (that everybody should get to know) there's harmonica player Big Leon Brooks and guitar player and songwriter John Brim. Following that there's an album from blues singer Robert Ealey of Texas. Moving on to the diversity department, we've got a live kinda country rock album from Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Bros and then we have a kind of peculiar but enjoyable album from genre-defying musicians the Bad Livers.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:
Big Leon Brooks ~ Let's Go To Town
Robert Ealey ~ Turn Out The Lights
Gram Parsons With The Flying Burrito Bros. ~ Live From The Avalon Ballroom 1969

The Other Place is treating Charlie Kirk’s death as a good thing
Predictably, perhaps, but I find I still have room to be disappointed by our former comrades. At this moment, this is #2 on the TOP “Trending Stories” list:
The world is a better place without Charlie Kirk in it
And jeez Louise, “annieli”, you used to post here, you used to question dubious takes from any side. Guess the appeal of
herd groupthink“all just one happy big ‘community’ (however astroturfed and manipulated top-down)”, is hard to resist.https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/9/13/2343413/-WYFP-Millennial-Muss...
only understand portions of your post

but the parts I get make sense.
Thanks for being forthcoming.

“annieli” is the poster of the second TOP ‘diary’ I linked to
The second part of the post was a rhetorical question addressed to an imagined figure representing her in my mind.
All Charlie Kirk ever actually did was publicly advance opinions “annieli” didn’t like, as he went around to college campuses debating people. Yet she and her readers feel justified equating him to Mussolini.
This is the “their speech is violence” part of the “Our violence is speech; their speech is violence” idea that many progressives have bought into.
