Lovely, listening but no time to post much.
Happy Friday!!!!!!


Ditto!  Happy Friday to all!

(And will be an even happier Friday if I get offered this job with JANE magazine that I interviewed/tested for this week.  Should know by day's end.  Will be Soul Spectruming later.)

"Everybody's 'trinin' at me". This is one of my all-time fave songs, but there needs to be a moratorium on it for a while.  Sorry to wear the crankypants, but Dave falls back on way too many "old standbys" in his '68 & '69 sets.



I think we're on the same page here, then.

However, don't think this Temps tune gets quite that treatment.

BOS2 Can't Get Next to You.

ETA: Oops, that's BOS3. At least.
Let's get right to it.

VHM for the temptin' Temptations!  Anybody catch that biopic about them a few months back?  Powerful sad stuff.  Never knew they were so messed up.

I'm serious!  There are two people singing the line, and one of him has just that same aching timbre.

Meantime, BOS3 to the lovely horns and vox of the Spiral Starecase.  Alas, t'was the horns that killed them; they couldn't find a brass section to tour, which killed their momentum.

Yr right, I shouldn't have left him out.  There can never be too much hi-hat.

No, but I'd love to hear more.  Did it accuse David Ruffin of creating Tammi Terrell's tumor through a violent hit, as others have?

VHM to the sexier-than-it-should-be "Time of the Season."  Though I still don't know what the fuck that "who's yr daddy" thing's supposed to be about.

EDITED TO SAY: OK, not so much "supposed to be about," but more like, "dude, who the fuck do you think you are talking to her like that?"
