[HappyGilmore]

Significant Other by Limp Bizkit- Their best album, which isn't saying much.  The guitar player, Wes, is the most talented of the group.


The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack- a mix of new songs, plus covers of "Funkytown", "Only You" and "Bad Day", plus some classic Chipmunk songs.

The third album is more ALEX CHILTON, his chamber musician friends, and his producer (JIM DICKINSON).  Diehard BIG STAR fans revile this last entry routinely, ...I think the third album is their runaway best...

I actually had "Third" at one time, although I don't have it anymore.  The only song I saved to mp3 was "Stroke It, Noel".

You owned Third... and what did you do with it?  LP or CD?  Apparently you were either not impressed or overwhelmed with choices.  I listen to that one every day.  You didn't like the cover of "Femme Fatale"? 

...Most people remeber Bobby for Ode To Billy Joe...but she was  a dam good story teller...

Unfortunately her Ode To Billy Joe album is not available.  The first time I bought it was on a whim in a used record store in Morristown, NJ not quite 30 years ago.  Of course I knew the title track well (a song I recently decided I should be so f*ckin' sick of, yet still I'm not and always listen to it if it comes on the radio-which it did this week).   

Nonetheless, way back when, and once I got to know the album, I always skipped the title track for the better stuff.  That old used copy got ruined next to a radiator and I replaced it with new.  Listened to it so much that I sort of blurred there and thought I had it on CD.  NOT!!!  Then of course, a decade and a half passed.  I had unloaded my LP collection so long ago, in the midst of replacing what I thought was essential on CD, I was afraid I wasn't consistent, but I had kept that irreplaceable LP gem.  Later, I bought two BOBBIE GENTRY collections in order to piece together most of that album's contents on CD (I still have my vinyl copy at least for the playlist!)     See how I EDITED YOU to make room for ME??  BTW, I like "Cotton Eyed Joe" .
I'm listening to ROXY MUSIC:

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS  "Stadium Arcadium"

[HappyGilmore]

My "taste" in music may be debatable.  I like everything, from classical rock to POP music, to comedy rock, to classical stuff like Vivaldi.  Plus, I'm going away on vacation and don't want to think too much, so simple pop works right now.


Greatest Hits by New Kids on The Block




I'm off for about a week or so, so have fun.

I had it in digital format several years ago.  I used to delete songs off my hard drive to save space (now I have an external hard drive and it's not an issue).  So, "Third" was the victim of a space saving purge, and "Stroke It Noel" was the only song I deemed worthy of saving at that time.  So, the "femme Fatake" cover did not make a great impression on me.  Sorry.  Maybe I'd feel different if I heard the album again.

You're not "sorry" you're pathetic...    I figured the REV would understand I couldn't resist the old joke.  Particularly in this instance.  ALEX CHILTON changed the title of a song in the works because of his Chamber Musician friend NOEL who stroked some type of violin...
But, I'm listening to ELVIS' Golden Records

Wow, late Sept 1 and no one else has been here since last night.  Slow.  Hope everybody had a wonderful holiday.  I did, but I'm sunburned and have a headache.
