  1. FRED NEIL
    Everybody's Talkin'
    1971 U.S. reissue
    [orange labels]

    A masterful songwriter, and a dude that had a LOT to do with a young Bob Dylan hitting the stage at Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village.

    It still shocks me how many people think that “Everybody’s Talkin’” is a Harry Nilsson song, when in fact it was Neil who wrote it.
    That song only became a hit when Nilsson’s version was featured in the 1969 movie Midnight Cowboy.

    SUCH a hit that Neil’s self-titled ‘66 album (THIS ONE), was reissued under the name Everybody’s Talkin’, in order to capitalize on the film’s (and song’s) success.

    The album however is much more than that one song.
    The Dolphins is absolutely beautiful, as is Neil’s take on the traditional tune “Sweet Cocaine”.

    A laid back and stellar 38 minutes.
    Just such a great record.

  23. 🎡 RIP Freddy Cannon 🎡

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

    When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 🎵

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

  26. BOBBY “BORIS” PICKETT AND THE CRYPT-KICKERS
    Monster Mash
    1962 U.S. 7” single [styrene]

    Halloween in April for last spin of the night. 🪦 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦
    🦇 🦇 🦇 💀 ☠️ 👹

    I forgot I bought a handful of 7” singles last week and I’m just getting to them now.

    I saw this and got absolutely giddy.

    Who doesn’t like a little Monster Mash?

    A great song from my youth that I have very fond memories of, and I still adore to this day.
    Added bonus that it has the picture sleeve and both it AND the record are in great shape!

    With the great Leon Russell on piano!

    This is for Jan 30, 2026, #Kid

    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.
