Title: Wednesday 8/3 and it's 1978
Post by: mshray on August 02, 2005, 10:20:07 PM
I won't spill what I learned from Dave's blog anymore than Urth will, but he has aced both me and my brother out of the opening post for the day in the past week, so I's got my dander up!

Suffice to say that I got an Amazon shipment that included Gerry Rafferty yesterday, so it couldn't be more timely.

ETA on Wednesday:  Okay, now I'll spill.  Got to go to a meeting & will miss the set.  Have fun in 1978 for me.

Ha!  I went nuts & spent close to 3 bills.

For Gerry Rafferty, I got both the City To City album & the compilation Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right: 1970-1982, which nicely only dupes 2 songs from the former (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:ihjc7i7og72r).  

I also got 3 box sets that I can't wait to dig into:
The British Invasion 1963-1967 (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:30d7gjlr46in)
Nuggets II (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:6fd7gjlr36ia)
and Loud, Fast & Out of Control: The Wild Sounds Of 50's Rock (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:1kqpg4h9tv1z).

I also got a double disc of Brewer & Shipley: Tarkio/Weeds, a 2-disc Steve Goodman anthology: No Big Surprise, and a live CD - Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan: In Session

first, as Gaz has said before, it's best to remove the long session ID's of these Allmusic url's, as they are extraneous.  That's the part that starts with ""&token="

some good discs you got there.  The British Nuggets one is exceedingly obscure!  But, it does have one Love Sculpture tune I'd love to have at your leisure.

It might be teetering toward Katrina territory, but I'm still giving BOS to "Fantasy."  I got to play the cover by Black Box (with Martha Wash on vox) for the Princess when she visited a few months ago.

Thelma would be '77, not '78, assuming you mean "Don't Leave Me..."

VHM Heart, they made great rock radio singles in this period.

Shoot.  I thought it was post-SNF.

And now, trumpeting Mshray's latest acquisitions, here's Mr. Rafferty himself!  BOS2 to "Right Down the Line," an elegant composition.

And listening to it today, I suddenly hear echoes of Macca Rubber Soul material like "Things We Said Today," particularly in the transitions from the bridge back to the verse.

BOS Van Halen. I just remember how much Eddie's guitar sound grabbed us by the ears when this record came out. Sounded great out of a pair of JBLs I used to have.

Annalisa's quiz question seemed a bit of a reach to me: "2 artists in today's set have motorvehicular names..."

answer: VAN Halen and VAN Morrison.  (She forgot Dave also played the Cars.)

Bonus: "Mr Blue Sky".  When the set's great, the Bonus is a letdown, and vice-versa.

He KNEW! He knew more than me and YEW! And he drank lots of Mountain DEW!

I heard that damn Kansas song at the gym today, which made it 4 times in 5 days, which is 4 times too many.  And to add insult to injury, they followed it with "Hell is For Children"!

They blacken your eyes
And then 'pologize...


Poor Ms Benatar, her heart was in the right place on that one but Yeesh!
