Segarini: 13 Albums You Should Have But Probably Don’t Redux

If I didn’t know any better, I would say I am the victim of a Gypsy Curse.

Lately it seems that just walking down the hall has become an obstacle-laden course of Rube Goldberg slapstick and Orwellian conspiracy.

Segarini: 13 Albums You Should Have But Probably Don’t

Jaimie’s great column this week (125 Influential Albums) got me to thinking about the music that impacted on my life over the years.

They are, without exception, the jumping off points for entire long lasting careers and even genre changing sub-streams of musical exploration. The long awaited conclusion of Segarini: Stockton, Daring-Do, and Cruisin’ the Miracle Mile runs tomorrow…finally.
