Babs, before you get bored and enrol in th' Nailtician Academy, would you consider inkin' screed? A dainty, inuitive, and oh-so-feminine approach would be a like a breath of fresh air in th' stinkin' locker room of th' IoF©! I'm sure the rest of th' 4/5g© will be most condescending of any effort you could make in this direction! What to write? Why, any contemporary issue, such as Top Tips To Keep Your Hubby Happy, or Twelve Winning Ways With Meatloaf ... I leave it entirely up to you!
DeleteSure, why not!
DeleteGive me a few days to put something together.
Gee, that's swell! Also, you break the Mylar© ceiling here by garnering your own Gum Card (a mixed blessing)!

Best ever Foam-O-Graph© Farq.
This is a bit spooky, only yesterday I attended a 'Vintage Fayre', there were old cars, people in old military uniforms, and various musical acts including a band playing the songs of The Shadows. So when my randomised tracks included The Shadows at no. 4 I was surprised because I didn't know I had any tracks by them on my device (from a compilation), only on vinyl. Ok not really spooky, just coincidence, or is it? These 'puters are pretty clever these days.
Oh, and also Heartbeat by King Crimson, I bet that was on the KC for girls boxset? I didn't download it as I have lots of Crimson stuff already.
If Delta del ever calls you Rudolf again, I'll whup him upside th' haid.
DeleteInterestingly Anglo-centric rando there!
Sorry Bambi it was a bit harsh. Soon as you, a famous deer, mentioned your nose, I thought of the other famous deer. I apologise.
Deletep.s. weather great back here in ’73 , Claudia says tell you hi and she’s glad you liked her picture.
I wouldn't blame him, after all I did call him Dave.
DeleteI expect my music collection is about 80% British stuff.
Short hiatus while I grab me some z's. Comments up when I am.
ReplyDelete"title unknown" (i.e. taper was too lazy to tag these) - Meat Puppets (Madison Square Garden (huh?), Phoenix, AZ 1982)
ReplyDelete"The Corridor" - Michael Hurley (Land of Lofi)
"Hard Time Losin' Man" - Jim Croce (Lost Time Bottle)
"Pay to Cum" - Yo La Tengo (Murder in the Second Degree)
"Walk with Me" - Damien Jurado (Ghost of David)
A slight digression (don't blame me, it's the drugs) while Farq enjoys his coma: before my I-pod (remember them?) calved, one evening we were sitting around the I-pod enjoying the never-ending 4000 tune shuffle. After thoroughly enjoying Marvin Gaye's 'Can I Get A Witness' who would have guessed that the next random track would be the Stones' version of the same classic! And then we took more drugs...
ReplyDeleteI'm, like, oh wow.
DeleteHeavy Makes you Happy - Staples Singers
ReplyDeleteJ. Edgar - Ry Cooder
Give Me Back My Job - Carl Perkins
Candy - Ray Charles
Crying In The Rain - Everly Bros.
"...might of said" is what cracked me up, here.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where my old iPod Shuffle is at? Ah, let's charge up this old 20 GB iPod... Okay, here we go.
Marc Ellington - I'm Leaving (America)
David Hemmings - The Soldier Wind
Zombies - Out of The Day (Demo Version)
Victor Lopez - Chimps On The Loose
Hollies - I Can't Let Go
I assume "Chimps" was left on there when I inherited this from a kid. Sounds like a high school band kind of tune. That will have to do.
Share the love -

I have dozens of Spotify* playlists, each with 100 random tracks that I love. If I stop loving them they get deleted. I am ruthless.
ReplyDeleteI sought out List 13 so that I could start this random play with
1. Helene Dixon - Roll Over Beethoven. I was in a Kings Heath pub one Saturday afternoon waiting for a pick-up band to start. Steve Gibbons was at the bar, his (ex?)wife was across the table and his son Dylan was DJ, playing a selection of his dad's 45s. He played this track which prompted me to approach to ask who it was (I don't normally speak to strangers). He didn't know so we had to search through the box of golden singles to find it. Helene is little known and Spotify plays the song from a compilation called "Hot Boppin' Girls Vol 9" which has a cover the IoF© would approve. Next up was:
2. Dickie Bishop & His Sidekicks - No Other Baby. Strangely I came across this track after hearing Paul McCartney's excellent cover version rather than the other way around.
3. Lal Waterson - Some Old Salty. This contains everything that proves idiots who "don't like folk music" are wrong. I have my finger in my ear as I type. Next:
4. Thomas Jefferson Kaye - American Lovers. What a stroke of good fortune that this popped up as I know from elsewhere that it is an IoF© favourite so will earn me a pat on the back. I bought this LP from a Reddington's bargain box because TJK had produced Loudon's "Dead Skunk". The album is ok but this track is magnificent. I'm not surprised the writers didn't ever release it because the definitive version is here. And so, track 5:
5. Roy Bailey - Beeswing. A few years ago I saw Martin Simpson's father in law stand on a stage in a pub upstairs room about 12 feet away from where I was sitting whilst wiping a discrete tear from my eye as he performed this wonderful song beautifully.
Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.
* Spotify is like a personalised radio station and it actually encourages me to buy stuff to "support the artist".
"The album is OK"??? Gee whiz, Peanuts! It's top-tier stuff. American Lovers is the best song Becker-Fagen ever wrote, and they wrote some blindingly great songs.
DeleteFair point - my problem, I think, is that the magnificence of "American Lovers" completely overshadows the rest of the tracks in my memory of the LP. I haven't played the full album in some considerable while but I play "American Lovers" regularly.
DeleteAnyway, I'm listening to "First Grade" now* and have to say that "Sho-Bout" or "L.A.", for example, confirm my bias: good album, some great tracks, one masterpiece.
We don't disagree, we difer.
Cheers, Peanuts Molloy
* surprised to find it's actually not on Spotify ("Not Alone" is tho'); I've clearly added "American lovers" to my playlist from the mp3 library on my laptop, a nice quirk that Spotify allows.
Glen Campbell - Ticket To Ride
ReplyDeleteJackie Gleason - Fascinating Rhythm
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (live)
Guitar Slim - Cryin’ In The Morning
Cab Calloway - I’m Crazy ‘Bout My Baby
Your mention of th' Airplane prompts me to ax you to grab this:

This (the aborted original track listing) is a genuine improvement on the issued version, and I'm playing it a lot.
Gee, tanks, Farq! I shall grab forthwith. Lemme know when you come across a reconstruction of the Jackie Gleason album....
