Piracy Will Save the World

Here are three albums from the 1970s that are disturbingly out of print.


Watertown - concept album by Frank Sinatra at his best.


Pussy Cats - a Harry Nilsson album produced by John Lennon. A little uneven but worth it for the good songs. The opening track is amazing.


Slow Dazzle - one of John Cale's most consistent works. Features a bleak cover of "Heartbreak Hotel" followed by the sappy yet awesome "Ski Patrol". Also has a great Brian Wilson tribute/lamentation.

Albums

I heard Mitch Hedberg's last album, Do You Believe in Gosh? - slow start but pretty good:



Also heard Demetri Martin's These Are Jokes, which I like even more, but he certainly owes something to Hedberg:



And they both owe something to Steven Wright, even though I don't find Wright very funny.



And here's a music album I've been listening to: LP3 by Ratatat.
