🇺🇸 Donna Summer "Our Love" – 1979
Written by Summer and Giorgio Moroder and produced by Moroder and Pete Bellotte, the track combines a steady disco pulse with shimmering synthesizers and an almost hypnotic repetition of its central refrain. It is less about the dancefloor than about creating a sensual, romantic atmosphere...
Inspiration for the "Blue Monday" bass drum?

🇬🇧 Nick Straker Band "A Walk in the Park" – 1979
The bright, breezy melody and disco groove suggest pure escapism, but the song was actually born out of frustration. Nick Straker came up with the idea while walking through Battersea Park after an argument with his girlfriend. The 12" version gives the groove even more room to breathe...

WILLIE NELSON
The Willie Way
1972 U.S. pressingOh, Willie.
Take me away…It’s been a rough morning, following an even rougher night.
So my ass is staying home today and just feeding off of comfort music all day.
I’m gonna start with my KING of comfort, and my favorite album of his that I own.
A no more appropriate song for today than “Wake Me When It’s Over”.
Whatever way the “Willie Way” is, I’m all in.
I imagine it involves copious amounts of top-shelf weed.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #folk #country #willienelson #1970s #70s #70smusic

Released today 54 years ago:
🇬🇧 David Bowie "John, I'm Only Dancing" – 1972
One of Bowie’s great non-album singles from the Ziggy Stardust era. The lyrics were deliberately provocative for 1972, with their ambiguous sexuality contributing to the song’s reputation. RCA considered it too risqué for an American release at the time. In Britain it reached No. 12 in the singles chart...

Q: Are We Not Men?
#Devo #arewenotmen #70smusic #altrock #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! The line and the band's name are based on a satirical and pessimistic theory of human society called "de-evolution". The band's concept of "de-evolution" posits that, contrary to the idea of human progress, mankind is actually regressing. Based on the last few years, I'd say they knew what the hell they were talking about.

GERRY RAFFERTY
Baker Street
1978 France 7” singleA quick little spin during breakfast. 🥞
I found this at a thrift store late yesterday afternoon.
Picture sleeve is perfect, vinyl condition is perfect.Who doesn’t like a little “Baker Street”?
It’s just such a great tune.
One of the most instantly recognizable saxophone riffs maybe ever (courtesy of the great Raphael Ravenscroft), which is why I loathe and despise the Foo Fighters version, as the sax is replaced by an electric guitar.If I were being honest, I’d say I hate the Foo Fighters in general.
Anyway, an absolute masterpiece tune.
You know it’s part of the fabric of culture when The Simpsons uses it.

Musical Interlude: Listened to this randomly today; this is a classic from my youth and it holds up remarkably well. She sometimes did lament that people obsessed over why he did what he did, and what they threw....in her mind, the real thrust of the song was the family's indifference to her obvious shock.
"Ode to Billy Joe," performed by Bobbie Gentry.

Was just looking at #HarryNilsson's musical catalog after a coincidence, where I played his "Everybody's Talkin'" on guitar yesterday, then BrianKrebs tooted about his ear-wormy Coconut song a minute ago.
I pulled up Nilsson's famous cover of "Without You" and my partner said "Oh, Eric Carmen's 'All By Myself'" and we went WAIT A MINUTE!?
Those two songs sound like carbon copies, in sentiment, structure and melody. Hard to separate one in your head when you're hearing the other!

WARREN ZEVON
Excitable Boy
1978 Canada pressingThe man, the myth, the legend gets last spin of the night.
Truly one of the greatest songwriters to ever walk the Earth, and a flawless album front to back.
It’s actually quite embarrassing.
There isn’t a song on this record that’s not great.
Not GOOD…
GREAT.A true one of a kind talent the likes we’ll never see or hear again.
If you’ve never seen it, go on YouTube and watch his final appearance on Letterman.
Zevon was dying, and Dave gave him the WHOLE show that night.Even on death’s door, he performed immaculately, and in the interview was funny, self-deprecating and fully the Warren we’ve always known.
It’s a remarkable and incredibly emotional watch.Excitable boy, they all said.
He sure was.
Just the greatest.
