Cleveland Jeff has a nice write-up of the new Lemon Twigs album, which had mysteriously passed me by. However, after spending a frustrating week-end going blind trying to find a StealthLink© over at Like Dancing About Architecture, I decided to make the album available to th' Four Or Five Guys© in a special edition. Why is it special? Because, like last time, I've gone the extra yard for them and replaced their dull, stoopid cover with something that doesn't look like an Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark album. I like to think the new design [above - Ed.] taps into that whole Saturday Morning TV vibe.
Their second album [left, whoopsie, I mean, like, above - Ed.] got a drooling review here, which I can't now find. Perhaps I dreamed it? So here it is again, for possibly the first time! They're both absolutely primo First Tier harmony pop albums, with incredibly hooky songs, sparkling production, and I can't recommend them too highly, and now they have great covers, they get the coveted Perfect Ten award! In case you're wondering, their first album fell into the fashionable I suffer from depression, me stance and left a slightly chalky, bitter aftertaste.
You certainly won't regret downloading today's Deliverables O' Excellence™!

I don't think we quite talked about cars enough last time, so let's keep that going until it "runs out of gas" LOLROFL!
ReplyDeleteFavourite car I ever owned: MGB convoitibull. I liked to drive it with the top down and tonneau cover snapped into place, making a WW2 pilot cockpit ambience for the driver.
BMW Z3 - Forest Green with a rag top. Great looking car that also never had any type of issue the 6 years I owned it. Got rid of it after my 2nd kid was born. With 2 youngsters, owning a 2 seat vehicle was just not feasible.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the trunk for? Gee whiz.
DeleteI know, but their mother (my ex) "they'll get hurt back there!" Hey, bumps, bruises, broken bones, concussions and stitches all build great moral character!!!! Look at me!
DeleteYeah, not one of my better closing arguments.
59 TR3. Then my MGB.
ReplyDeleteOboyoboyoboy. I have to say my favourite TR was the 6, still a timeless piece of auto art. The stance, the size of the wheels, the simple power of the thing.
DeleteThe 6 wuz/is tits! Great sled, not lead!
DeleteI never owned a car, and I have driven one, once, no twice. in 33 years.
ReplyDeleteLike many a Californian, I've driven a lot of cars a number of miles...
ReplyDeleteHard put to select a true fave... My current one is "a runner": VW Diesel Beetle with XXX,XXX miles on it. But still gets great fuel mileage (which, at CA fuel prices...!!!), responsive to the wheel and five-speed gearbox, and not offensive to my eyes.
Honorable mentions to the "Mars Car" (a red Toyota two door), the red Renault 16 with a sunroof, and my parents' Rover 2000TC in British racing green. Each served me well and took me to several of the better adventures of my life.

Ah, probably my '55 Chevy, although it was just for a few months. Bought it for $150.00, dropped in a rebuilt short block, sold it, and made a small profit. Great radio....still using tubes...we could pick up Los Angeles 400 miles away when the ionosphere was right.
ReplyDelete'55 Caddy Fleetwood. Power everything. 2-tone green, acquired in late '69, I named it
