Sweet City Woman: The Stampeders

Calgary's The Stampeders were one of Canada's biggest bands of the early 70s. Their unique country-rock sound, featuring a memorable banjo riff, propelled their song 'Sweet City Woman' to the top of the charts in Canada and made it a major international hit. The song won them a Juno Award for Best Single in 1972 and remains a classic rock radio staple. #Canada #TheStampeders #ClassicRock #70sMusic 🇨🇦

Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

THE MUPPETS
The Muppet Movie (Original Soundtrack Recording)
1979 Canada pressing

The Muppets were a pivotal part of my childhood.
From The Muppet Show to the subsequent movies, those characters and songs are tattooed on my heart and soul forever.

Until today, it was the only soundtrack of the initial run of movies (Movie, Caper, Manhattan, Christmas Carol) that I didn’t own on vinyl.

Regardless of how you feel about The Muppets, this is worth owning solely for Paul Williams’ “Rainbow Connection”, just a stunningly beautiful song regardless of how old you are.

An even bigger bonus is that this was a used copy that STILL had the movie poster inside of it. They’re almost always missing.

If I were to ever adopt a child, I’d want it to be Animal.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
All Ears (10 New And Original Hits With A CB Theme)
1977 U.S. pressing

Quite the ridiculous record that I just couldn’t pass up, because it looked JUST like my kinda stupid.

Made for Radio Shack in the mid #70s , this is a collection of songs that all have a CB theme to them.

Rock, jazz, R&B, gospel, soul… this thing is ALL over the place, but all the songs drive down the Citizens Band 2-Way radio highway.

In all honesty, there’s some pretty good tunes on here. “Honey Bee (Please Answer Me)” by Randy Goodrum is a particular standout for me, as is “Everybody's Somebody (In Our C.B. World)” by Ed Bernet.

For only $1.00, I couldn’t go wrong.
Pretty entertaining shit, straight down to the “Index Of Terms Used By CB’ers” on the back cover.

10-4, good buddy.
Over and out.
