SIGNS YOU’RE GETTING OLDER: As I tuned-in last night, it suddenly occurred to me, I remember when SCOTT PELLEY was the ‘new guy’ on ‘60 Minutes’. 📺 👀

Now that I’m no longer with vinyl, I get to pull-out CD’s that I’d all but forgotten I owned. And this one is PURE delight! AVIARY w/ their self-titled debut! (1979/2013) Take QUEEN, STYX, THE BEATLES, SUPERTRAMP & yes, even THE DARKNESS, put ‘em all in a blender and VOILA! (cont. 👇👇👇)

With all the hoopla re: BUCKINGHAM NICKS remastered re-release, I was inspired to pullout my CD ‘import’ copy 👀 w/ bonus tracks. NICE they were able to create some peace w/ each other around their legendary pre-FLEETWOOD MAC collaboration. ‘Frozen Love’ has now mercifully thawed…#buckinghamnicks

Could’ve been/Should’ve been HUGE! THE KEYS w/ ‘The Keys Album’. (1981) Skinny-tie New Wave/Power-Pop at its best. Produced by JOE JACKSON! Many similarities. Superb record to be played at MAXIMUM VOLUME!!! 👉 ‘Hello, Hello!’: youtu.be/OJBsnQnYi-E?... #thekeys #newwave #joejackson #80sUKRock

A flawless release from THE SMITHS w/ ‘Meat Is Murder’. (1985) Honestly, this and ‘The Queen Is Dead’ is all I need from the lads. This LP got LOTS of plays in the background of many college parties & get-togethers. 👉 youtu.be/f37lC0CSXlQ?... #thesmiths #meatismurder #morrissey #johnnymarr #altrock

PHOEBE SNOW w/ her eponymous debut. (1974) Man, what an exquisite voice when you really feel like classin’-up the joint. There’s a reason BILLY JOEL & PAUL SIMON included her on their best-selling mid-70’s albums. ‘Poetry Man’: Still unsurpassed. 👉 youtu.be/EIRdcewDjFU?... #phoebesnow #poetryman

THOMAS DOLBY w/ 5-track ‘Blinded By Science’ EP. (1983) THIS is how I first experienced DOLBY in high school. The original LP featured neither ‘…Science’ nor ‘…Submarines’. So, the HARVEST label offered-up this EP due to the strength of those 2 singles which were getting LOTS of MTV airplay. (Cont)👇

Am I the only nob who actually likes ‘Pretty Little Head’? 🤔 PAUL McCARTNEY w/ ‘Press To Play’. (1985) For all the bad rap this one got, (perhaps he should’ve called it ‘McCARTNEY III’?), MACCA always slid-in melodic pop nuggets. IMHO, MACCA is always ripe for a revisit! 👉 youtu.be/NUbz2NEAi80?...

The sheer genius of Mr. NEIL HANNON…THE DIVINE COMEDY w/ ‘Regeneration’. (2001/2020) Fans of BEATLES & BEACH BOYS will ❤️ the bouncy ‘Perfect Lovesong’. But producer NIGEL GODRICH keeps things murky & mysterious throughout NEIL’s melodies. 👉 youtu.be/gOHfabPwtMc?... @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social

#SoftRockSummer2025 (Day 3) On an entire K-TEL LP full of ‘soft rock’, I’m gonna swing with MAUREEN McGOVERN’s ‘Different World’ (TV Theme from ‘Angie’) (w/ DONNA PESCOW). Remember this one from ‘79??? 👉 youtu.be/4lFDCXb3aJk?... #colorthemusic #musicchallenge #vinylsky #musicsky #musicislife
