Led Zeppelin III. I listened to it daily in the summer, it's the perfect summer album. Their mystic styles just blend beautifully with the blue skies. But after summer ended, the love for this album burned out.

Listening to it now, side B is the most beautiful thing of the 1970s.

Rediscovering the music and this time the post is about a single song or two.
"Hatred (A Duet) from The Kinks' Phobia album. I have been listening to it nearly everyday for the past week. It had been a very, very long time since I last heard the song so I got some time lost to make up.
The song has Ray and Dave sort of going back and forth at each other with a mutual love/hate relationship that was forgotten by me for a long time and then once my memory came around, the album and the song was a small adventure to find and then prioritize it's importance and worth.
So now I am listening to "Hatred" about once a day and lovin' it.
I also recently finally soothed my obscure Eric Clapton song addiction by getting a reasonably priced, used copy of a compilation album that features The Bunburys' song, "Fight (No Matter How Long)". Again this was a song that was released more than 15 years ago and has rarely, I mean so very rarely been mentioned let alone played on a radio station or something. This is truly one of those songs that I have not heard since it was big. Now I have it and the junkie has his fix for the moment.
But of course that music crack pipe burns hot and I never know where or when the dragon strikes.

Corey Hart's Young Man Running album from 1988.
Yeah that Corey Hart. The guy who wore his sunglasses at night and who was lost and on his own and never surrendered. That 80's MTV posterchild.
Hey the guy was not that bad it turns out. Like a few of the musical artists that were really, really popular for a time in the 1980's, back then I was a very passive listener of his songs. To be truthfull, during most of the 80's I was still very much into what is now termed "classic 70's" rock and roll. And then there was the fact that girls really liked bands like Duran Duran, Corey Hart and a number of other bands so much it made me a little insecure. Therefore I would often attack the sexual orientation of those musicians and their music. You know the deal when not many girls are interested in you seemingly? But let's get back to Young Man Running.
I know I got this record in the early 90's from the discount bin of a local record store and after one listen there was one track that was clearly the best on the album. "Truth Will Set You Free". I remember putting it on more than one "mix tape" for myself and probably some for others.
Well I retrieved that 1988 album yesterday from it's resting place and discovered that the song is still just as great to me today as it was, lo those many years past.
I listened to the entire album and remembered a few other good tracks on the record as well. "In Your Soul", "Lone Wolf" and the false ending trickery of "Spot You In A Coalmine". Nice work there Corey
So now doubt I will be recording all three of my Corey Hart records to disc sometime this week and together with my other two albums on cd, you can also bet that a "greatest hits" disc is also forth coming.
"Til next time,
Keep your skates sharp and your stick on the ice.

I recently found and played "Hums Of The Lovin Spoonful" from my vast LP collection. I'm with Sergio, this group was so much fun to listen to, and this album is just full of great, catchy music of typical 60s style.

"You and me and rain on the roof,
caught up in a summer shower,
drying while it soaks the flowers,
maybe we'll be caught for hours,
waiting out the sun..."

Pin Ups from David Bowie.
I have a picture disc version of this album so it goes without saying that I do not play it much and this one had not been made dizzy on my turntable for at least ten years. Until today.
As some of you know, the sound of most picture discs is less than good in most cases. We buy them for the novelty or we use to buy them rather.. well I can't say that either but I imagine the last twelve times you went to a used records store or convention, it wasn't to buy a picture disc.
Back to my little peek into sentimental hygiene.
It had been a very long while since we last left our Pin Ups album and I was recently reminded of it's music so I took it off the shelf and recorded it to disc as I listen to Dave sing several cover songs of a few British bands that came before him.
This album features great Bowie versions of "See Emily Play", "Sorrow", "Shapes Of Things" and two Who songs, "I Can't Explain" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" as well as some other songs done very well.
I remember when I first listened to the record, that "Sorrow" and the two Who songs were immediate favorites to me but "See Emily Play" is such a "different" song that now to me, it really suits Bowie well. And with Bowie singing The Kinks and The Yardbirds on this album that I recorded onto compact disc, I will be listening to it a bit more often in the next ten years.

Surrealistic Pillow by jefferson Airplane.

I love Jefferson Airplane. I was obsessed with them last year, and I miss them, and everytime I put on Pillow, it becomes my favorite album ever all over again.

That's the only Jefferson Airplane album I have. The only other two that I want are Crown of Creation and Volunteers (which they only have a partial album of on iTunes >j> )

I'd rank After Bathing At Baxter's and Volunteers over Surrealistic Pillow. They may not be as instant as the latter, but given a few spins, the listener should become rewarded. :)

The Wall does not constitute being awesome. It is the soundtrack for a sad-faced four year old who doesn't get cookies and milk at snack time.
