I hope you got the joke, I don't think AthA is really the name of the group. I've been an outsider to music for about 35 years.

I got it. A while ago you posted about not being sure which was the name of the artist and the album/song on some of the posts on this thread. In this case Antenna to the Afterworld is indeed the name of the album.
Despite your admission of being an outsider you seem to have pretty strong opinions on the state of music these days (see rock and folk are dead threads).

It is more a sadness of the parade gone by. There won't be much lament in the When did Disco Die thread.
"Hooker 'n Heat", very special overlooked album. "Send me your pillow babe..."
Los Lobos - Native Sons
An album of covers, all of which were originally written by LA based artists. I learned that Farmer John was not written by Neil Young.

REM - Life's Rich Pageant
I've been listening to quite a bit of their music recently. Such a great band.

Really like their 80's stuff (was prime college fare for me) and been listening to them and other 80's favorites lately that I have not listened to in awhile. Funny how some of that period has aged well, while others border on unlistenable (a lot of synth based).
The World is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die - Illusory Walls
Funny, oblivious headline of the day, "'We were never a heavy metal rock band or wanted to be, frankly’: America tours through Wilmington for 50-year anniversary"
Goin' Home by Neil Young.

Art Pepper, on shuffle.

I assume you mean vinyl? That was 1986. You gave up on the format quite early.
Right now I'm listening to
The Velvet Underground - The Matrix Tapes

Yes vinyl. I started buying CDs at that same time. Not sure they were first, but Smiths Strangeways Here We Come and Cure Hot Hot Hot were early purchases.
I continued to buy a lot of used vinyl - especially when I was in college - as they sold used vinyl for very cheap.
Lennon, John.
