MP3s Don’t Come With Posters
I found this vinyl treasure at Bop Street Records (thanks Sam and Catherine for the gift card!) and I’ve been in heaven all afternoon. Wings Over America, 1976. The lights are low, and the bass is heavy, and it’s a 3 disc set.
Heaven.
Since you’re not here with me listening to this record, here’s a video, it’s not the same, but it’s still pretty rad:
(however, Denny Laine’s vocal mimicry at :51 seconds is inexplicable and inexcusable. Stay away from cocaine.)
Enjoy!

Hold On, I’m Coming!
Damn, Eric Burdon just kills it here:
Being introduced by Otis Redding can’t be too shabby either.
Enjoy!

It’s Over
Sometimes I just don’t think my ears even deserve to hear the majesty of Roy Orbison’s voice:
Fortunately, I don’t mind enjoying things I don’t necessarily deserve.

A Little Song/Guitar History
I love a lot of The Smiths songs, and this is a cool story about Johnny Marr writing one of them, ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’:

What he says is definitely true, sometimes the guitars help you write the song.

Fats
This song by Fats Domino must be hundreds (ok, maybe dozens) of years old by now, but still seems fresh as ever:
The video is out of sync with the audio in this live video, but the performance is so solid and I love the horns just cruising around his voice, nice and easy.

Good Days
These are good days. Some days are of course better than others, but these ones right here are pretty good.
I had a busy day. I woke up and the first thing I did was listen back to a demo of a new song I recorded last night to see if I still dug it. I was still pleased and decided to not put it up for adoption.
Then I worked on a secret project for a few hours (unsuccessfully, but I’m getting better!) and was late for rehearsal, but it was a really good rehearsal and we played a couple of songs that we are going to debut in Seattle on Saturday at the Hard Rock Cafe.
Well, I’m pretty tired, I might just read for a bit and then go to bed.
G’night!
