Don't mean it derisively in any way. It's thrilling really. :) I love Garage & ProtoPsych & FolkRawks & all of that...

hmmm...sorry! but i'd be much more into the mid and late period dead if they'd never added piano!
even so, the time i saw them they had the Godchauxs, right after terrapin (which i consider their last worthwhile album, with 2 good tracks)
in any case, despite my feelings about the piano, and the Godchauxs, i consider europe 72 a perfect album, although not in my top 5 favorites.

Not the least bit surprising. I'm betting a nickel that we hit that before August, given the trends... I'll be investigating AC preventive maintenance before June is over, because I can ill afford it to fail.
