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.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, “A Taste of Honey” from Whipped Cream & Other Delights (1965)

I didn’t set out to be so literal with the band name, I just wanted the sound, and here we are. Is it cheesy? Well, dairy-adjacent - but c'mon, it is in fact a delight.

I have learned that this song was originally written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow for the 1960 Broadway version of the 1958 British play A Taste of Honey,, which was also made into a film of the same name in 1961, and that this recording earned four Grammys! In addition, #TheBeatles recorded and released a vocal version of this song on their first album, Please Please Me. I somehow had never connected those dots.

If memory serves, Mom had a crush on #HerbAlpert. I get it, Mom.

Maravillas de Mali – Rendez-vous chez Fatimata

“Rendez-vous chez Fatimata” est la signature d’une lointaine époque musicale, ancrée dans le Danzón (l’un des rythmes au tempo lent, qui s’interconnecte au Son Cubano) avec bien sûr des éléments de rythmes maliens.

Avec ce groupe mythique des années 60, c’est toute une nouvelle génération de musiciens qui montait sur scène. [...]

LEONARD NIMOY
The Two Sides Of Leonard Nimoy
1967 U.S. pressing

I mean… put yourself in MY position.

You’re in the record store, minding your own business, flipping through some used bins… and you come face to face with THIS record.
Are you telling me you’re gonna walk away without buying it?
You’re gonna leave the John Lennon of Vulcans there alone for some OTHER asshole to buy and have it enrich THEIR life?!
No. I didn’t think so.

“Highly Illogical” and “The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins” are legitimate bangers.

Tomorrow, when I wake up, I can look at myself in the mirror and know that I made the only LOGICAL decision there was to make.

Live long(ish) and prosper, I guess.

BILL EVANS TRIO
Waltz For Debby
1985 U.S. reissue

Another perfect choice for a delightful, lazy Sunday afternoon.

I’m a big fan of the quiet-ish mellow Bill Evans records, and other than You Must Believe In Spring, this might be my favorite one.

It’s so laid back, so beautiful, and one of those all-purpose any time, anywhere kind of records.

Maximum Sunday chillage.

Star Band was a music group from Senegal, the resident band of Dakar’s Miami Club. They, along with the many off-shoots of the band, are responsible for many of the crucial developments in Senegalese popular music.

For Senegal, importing Cuban culture could achieve the ultimate goal — dignity — and radically change the notion of […]

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.

The song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" (1965) by France Gall is quite addictive. It's hard to not hum. I love this song.
