  9. 🎡 RIP Freddy Cannon 🎡

    I played his 1962 single Palisades Park over and over as a child ...

    🎵 You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
    When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 🎵

    Born in Revere, Mass in 1936, he was 89 when he passed

  10. THE SONICS
    Here Are The Sonics!!!
    2020 UK MONO reissue

    It’s 7:30 am and I’m about to make my neighbors really unhappy.

    Full volume wake call for everybody with one of the greatest albums of all time, period.

    Some call them the original punk rock band.
    I suppose there’s SOME truth to that, but the fact of the matter is that they were just a great band period, regardless of genre.

    These songs are just incredible, and they sound as fresh and as brand new today as they did in the #60s .
    Just an incredibly important and savage rock band.

  11. SANDY BULL
    Inventions
    1965 Canada pressing

    Absolutely perfect record for a rainy, thundery Thursday night on the island.

    Pretty much a flawless album start to finish, and unquestionably Sandy Bull’s magnum opus masterpiece.

    It pretty much has it all.
    Incredible folky guitar playing, Middle Eastern vibes, drone-y experimental improvisation, and some killer #jazz flair courtesy of drummer Billy Higgins.

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  19. JOHNNY CASH AND THE TENNESSEE TWO
    Blue Train b/w Born To Lose
    1962 U.S. 7” single

    You know it’s a great day when you find a pristine original Sun ☀️ 45 of your favorite Johnny Cash song.

    When I was 13, back when I first started learning to play the guitar, one of my many uncles (my mother was the second youngest of 13 children), who was a huge Johnny Cash fan and a pretty good musician in his own right, taught me to play a few Johnny songs that had the chords that I knew how to play comfortably.

    One of those songs was Blue Train, which 35 years later, is still my favorite Johnny Cash song.

    The flip side here, “Born To Lose”, is pretty good too.

    A stellar find for me.
