Un Uomo Da Marciapiede
1975 Italy pressing

An ITALIAN pressing of the soundtrack to Midnight Cowboy?
For two dollars?!?!
Yes, please.

Famous for the Harry Nilsson cover of “Everybody’s Talkin’”, which everybody thinks is his song, but was actually written by the great Fred Neil.

Midnight Cowboy was another one of those movies that was on TV a lot when I was a kid, albeit in heavily edited and butchered form.
Nonetheless, the music will forever live rent-free in my head forever, due to the amount of Saturday and Sunday afternoon viewings of the film that I had as a kid.

FLYING MOUNTAIN
Earth And Sky
1978 Canada pressing

A record I like to pull out once every couple of years.
A really nice, earthy folk record, the first of the two albums they made.

It’s also a really SOUNDING record fidelity-wise. Sonically wonderful.

I like to throw this on whilst having a few wobbly pops. A perfect drinking record.

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM
Sink Or Swim
2018 U.S. Repress
Black & Red Swirl #vinyl

I’ve always really liked this band.
They’ve never put out a bad record; kind of the weigh station between Springsteen and punk rock.
Great hooks, great melodies, great lyrics.
Just a really good band.

This is my personal favorite of theirs, but I do love them all.

This record just pummels you from the start. Just one killer tune after another, and it doesn’t let up.

Great end of the week album.

NEIL YOUNG
Old Man b/w The Needle And The Damage Done
1972 Canada 7” single

NEIL YOUNG
Heart Of Gold b/w Sugar Mountain
1972 Canada 7” single

I’m giving my last two (mini) spins of the night to Neil Young, with two original 7” singles of some of his most beloved songs, and not just the A-sides.

I was lucky to find both of these in such great shape. They’re both near-flawless and sound amazing.

It’ll be a sad day when Neil goes.
What a remarkable life he’s had, and what a gift he’s been to the world.

PATTY SMYTH
Never Enough
1987 Canada pressing

I’m a massive fan of all things Patty Smyth AND Scandal.

Patty is one of my favorite bad-ass female rock singers ever, and I’ve always loved this record, her first solo album after Scandal broke up.

It’s got a killer version of “Downtown Train” on it, along with the fantastic title track, and “Heartache Heard ‘Round The World”.

As a side note, I’m the only person I know who has met BOTH Patty Smyth AND Patti Smith, and they’re both wonderful, lovely human beings. 😂

KAREN BETH
The Joys Of Life
1969 U.S. pressing

What a hauntingly beautiful record.

Wonderful, spacious folk music; anchored by Karen Beth’s stunning voice and exceptional guitar playing.

This is not something to just throw on and have in the background. You have to sit and be IN these songs.

Little reminders of those great records by ANOTHER Karen, Karen Dalton.

The title track, Nothing Lasts, and Come December are the stand-outs here, but this whole album is wonderful.

I actually found Karen Beth online and reached out to her, and told her how much I love and appreciate this record she made 56 years ago.
She lives around Toronto area, and has had a good career in health and wellness.
Do check this album out if you can.

MATT SKIBA & KEVIN SECONDS
Split
2008 U.S. pressing
White/Coffee Swirl #vinyl

A bit of energy to help me get going a little bit this morning, as I drag my ass towards the day.

This 10-song split album is stellar. The songs are SO DAMN CATCHY; and mostly acoustic.
Kevin Seconds is from the legendary punk band 7 Seconds, and his side is great, but for me, I LOVE the Skiba songs.

“Good Fucking Bye” and “The City That Day” are really good.

I can’t remember where I got this, but I do remember it was just a dart throw. It looked kind of cool, and my only reference to it was the 7 Seconds connection.

If you like really upbeat catchy music, you’ll FOR SURE like this.

BOBBY CHARLES
Bobby Charles
1972 U.S. pressing

A near perfect record for last spin of the night.

When I found this for $1 in a Salvation Army a few years ago, it felt like a daring heist.
Only… it couldn’t have been easier.
I paid a dollar, and walked right out the front door with it.

Forget “See You Later Alligator”.
Put that shit aside, and immerse your self in one of the great masterpieces from ANY singer/songwriter.
Just amazing songs.
Listen to “I Must Be In A Good Place Now” and tell me this dude ain’t a genius.

If you don’t know the first Bobby Charles record, do yourself a favor and make it part of your life.
The hope is that this post drives ONE new person to it.
If I can get ONE… then mission accomplished.

MODERN ENGLISH
Ricochet Days
1984 Canada pressing

Been a long while for this one.

Modern English, man.
So good.
STILL.
Their last few records have been nothing short of outstanding.

However, thanks to my two older sisters, I grew up on both this AND After The Snow.

And again, one of those bands laregely remembered by the general public for ONE SONG, but gave us a career’s worth of stellar songcraft.

Girls In The Garage Volume 3
1988 U.S. pressing

EVERYTHING about this record is awesome.
The cover.
The killer music of all-female badass #rock & #garage bands.
Even the messages in the dead wax on both sides:
SIDE A : THANK HEAVEN FOR LITTLE GIRLS....
SIDE B: …FOR WITHOUT THEM WHAT WOULD LITTLE BOYS DO..?
Lol🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
