  1. VARIOUS ARTISTS
    Anthology Of British Rock (The Pye Years - A Compleat Collection)
    1985 U.S. 2xLP pressing

    Bought this from a thrift store this morning.
    The whole first side (and the first song of side B) is all David Bowie, and it’s got other great songs by Donovan, Sandie Shaw, The Kinks, and Status Quo amongst others.

    Pretty solid $1 find, man.
    Cool little compilation.

    The two Donovan tunes are without question his two best songs, IMO.

  7. "Lola" is a song by the English #rock band #theKinks, written by frontman #RayDavies for their 1970 album #LolaVersusPowermanAndTheMoneygoroundPartOne. The song details a romantic encounter in a #Soho bar between a young man and Lola, who is possibly a #transWoman or #crossdresser. In the song, the narrator describes his confusion towards Lola, who "walked like a woman but talked like a man", yet he remains infatuated with her.

  8. Question for trans peeps...do you think the lyrics to Lola are transphobic? I've always thought it was positive.
