Today will be intense at work , But I at the end of today all the pressure stuff will be finished. Then after that I have the weekend to look forward to. You too have the weekend to look forward to , so allis good here.
It's 1972 and have chosen The Move's California Man one of the finest slabs of Rock and Roll you will ever hear.
Yeah I am just really tired and things seem a bit both non stop and empty at the moment, I know that sounds weird but rust feel as though I'm running to keep still . I know this will pass , you can't feel top of the world everyday.
Anyway 1971 was another stunning year and I remember Curved Air on Top of the Pops performing Back Street Luv with Darryl Way's perspex violin and fronted by the lovely Sonja Kristina, There first album was one of the first picture discs and the second with it's cut out cover was straight into my collection.
Another rushed post , so , as I said , some would just be about the song that I'm posting. This is one of those. 1970 was my 14th year , I'd never thought of it in that way be for. I've been surprised by how much good music inhabited the charts and this was probably when my core music opinions took shape. Any appreciation of classical music was destroyed by my school (I regained it in later years) , but despite the plethory of incredible music , I've chosen The Witch by The Rattles , a German Group , which I loved at the time and still sounds as fresh today. And I suppose with Halloween on it's way is sort of appropriate
Well I forgot to set the alarm so that my be my "bad" luck. Let's face it it's like horoscopes you can always make things fit, that's the fun of astrology and the like. Like the prophesies of Nostradamus and horoscopes and other superstitions. Though I still have it ingrained into me that 13 is unlucky , but it's a baker's dozen which meant you got a free cake or loaf just in case something might be duff , so isn't that good luck.
I agree with the premise that your musical tastes are formed when you are 14-18 and certainly somemusic from then has stuck with me , but I think that 95% is always rubbish and it's just finding that 5% and it is usually easy to find. There are lots of great bands at this moment it time , just look.
So from 1969 , my 13th year comes Gimme Gimme Good Lovin' by Crazy Elephant , I'm sure an English band covered this , but that year was amazing for music and I could have chosen lots of classics , but this is the one I chose.
I have a wonderful day everyone , and don't walk under ladders !
It's another Monday morning and I'm in a rush again so this is a shorty. 1968 was full of amazing music , but in a completely coincidence I posted White Horses to my daughter's Facebook wall as it's her birthday today, then found it was in the charts in 1968 !!
It's going to be an amazing week , but I haven't a clue what is going to happen . I had a great weekend and it is going to continue on , I will make sure that happens.
Also looking for this video , I got sidetracked as usually with some films for my Facebook group here.
For no reason I designate today Hug Sunday . Find someone and hug them for at least a minute. Wouldn't it be great to go into town and just love and hug a random person, but in today's personal space oriented world we'd probably get arrested. Anyway hug somebody , I know at least one birthday girl and am sure she will be getting one.
I have to be honest 1967 was a stunning year for music, so I could have chosen anything , but I definitely loved Sandy Posey's Single Girl , love the fragility of her delivery . The song is probably sexist and misogynist as hell , but is a product of it's times and I can choose anything I want.
Yesterday I was going to go along to Vamos Fantabuloso to see friends and write up for Spoongig so I cut the address ¡VAMOS! Social, Market Street, NCL from the website pasted it into Google Maps on my phone and it sent me to the middle of an estate in West Denton. Turned out to be a residential block , right house name and road , but totally wrong place . Because it was off the beaten track getting a taxi or bus back was not an option (UBER don't work for me , never any cars) ,so came home and missed out because I believed Google and didn't question it for once , c'est la vie.
Anyway to my tenth year on this mortal coil and it's the year England won the World Cup and a song I remember was this really racy one according to an acquaintance of the time. Roy 'C' s "Shotgun Wedding" , ironically not too far removed from todays attitudes fifty years on , but nonetheless a wonderful record.
