  1. "The Blue Album, as it would also become affectionately known, was sitting just a few places further in front of its Red Album sibling in this same chart, as I meet up with it for the first time along my musical road."

  2. #GoodMorning and happy #MusicMonday, everyone!

    This week I opted to do something different. When going over to #HarvsIsland, I decided to recreate an #album cover. Here we have Lucky, Raymond, Filbert, & Tiansheng dressed as #Weezer from the cover of their self-titled album, aka the #BlueAlbum.

    I really tried to capture the spirit of the outfits and the album cover here. The outfits were harder to capture than getting the room all blue.

    Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

  3. The Story Behind the Song

    When Joni Mitchell arrived in the Cretan fishing village of Matala in the spring of 1970, she had just ended her relationship with Graham Nash. It was here, in this hippy retreat that she met red haired Cary Raditz, the ‘Mean Old Daddy’ behind the song Carey …
    Raditz was working as a chef at the Delphini Taverna. Their initial meetings were rough, as he resented the way his friends were drawn into the rising star’s circle of friends.
    “I just saw that she was coming into town. And these friends of mine, who I thought were pretty good drinking buddies, were now turning into the idiots that I didn’t like – the love and peace hippies“
    Eventualy, after a meeting without the entourage in tow, the two clicked and began spending more time together - Mitchell even moving into the cave where Raditz lived. She remained there for nearly 2 months.
    Carey wasn’t the only song inspired by the ‘Red red rogue’. In California she sings
    “I met a redneck on a Grecian Isle
    Who did the goat dance very well,
    He gave me back my smile
    But he kept my camera to sell.
    Oh that rogue, that red red rogue,
    He cooked good omelettes and stews
    And I might have stayed on with him
    But my heart cried out for you, California.”
    Although the affair ended when Mitchell moved on, the friendship continued … the two meeting up several more times over the years.
    For more on their fascinating relationship read Kate Mossman’s interview with Raditz in The New Statesman.
