Should have seen the Dan's "Kings" coming as continuation of today's theme.

BOS #3, this is a very subtle piece of commentary, given that John was far worse than Richard, so much so that in 800 yrs since the English have never had a John II.

I don't know Steely Dan's non-heavy rotation stuff that well, so this kind of song in a 10@10 set is what can make a set special. gimme that obscure stuff!

A welcome spin. Another BOS

Also a great drinking song, if you follow the instructions in the lyrics.

ETA: I bet we end with "Smiling Faces Sometimes" or "Backstabbers."
I'd like Backstabbers. Such a great year, too many options.

Pure pop paradise, and I know Gaz wholeheartedly agrees, BOS#4 the Spinners.

The call & response between the strings & horns on the bridge is maybe my favorite 30 seconds of pop arrangement of all time.

In case you haven't noticed it yet, Tinka, you are in a hotbed of Dan Fanatics here.  Gaz & POC even more than I.

I have picked up on that, heh heh... and of course "obscure stuff" is relative.  ;)

BOS4 to the Spinners.

... and if the Eagle's "Peaceful Cheesy Feeling" isn't a Katrina, it sure sounds like it should be.

hey Davefish & Alicat, have your kids already started school this week?

Mine did on Monday, their first experience of public school.  So far so good, but I just can't get used to the idea of school before Labor Day.

They did.  Ella just started middle school, so it's a time of much drama.  But she seems to be doing fine.  And I think Nathan feels a bit more distinct being the only person at his school, and near the top to boot.

It's a good thing. All is well in the Alicat-sphere. They're there, I'm here. Quiet house. At least for a few more hours. I started a blog about a year ago and JUST added a new post. Want to try keeping up with it. Just random commentary from time to time.
