Every so often I buy a few new tunes from my online Music Store---
Tonight was a good night.
Starry, Starry Night (Vincent)by Don McLean is playing now.
Next on queue--- I'm So Tired of Being Alone---Al Green.
I'll be back.
Oh yes.
This chinese restaurant I go to has this awesome compilation cd they always play (at least it's awesome after a couple of glasses of wine) so one of the songs they play is Perfect Day by Lou Reed - and after that I'm always ready to hear the next song off of Transformer - which is Hangin' Round - but the next song on their cd is something by Duran Duran- so it's kind of a let down.
So tonight I came home and put on Transformer by Lou Reed for the first time in ages. It's such a great record - takes me back to highschool - every song is awesome but I think Perfect Day is an absolutely perfect song - his voice, the arrangements of the strings, the mood of the song - just combine to create a perfect song
Just a perfect day,
Drink sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
you're going to reap just what you sow,
you're going to reap just what you sow,
you're going to reap just what you sow,
you're going to reap just what you sow...
Strawberry Letter #23-----------Brothers Johnson
next on queue: Ziggy Stardust--David Bowie

and on to Koff Drops <which became the theme of As It Happens on the CBC>
I'm glad I had the chance to hear him perform live at Ontario Place back in the mid-1970's - he changed how I listened to jazz
Thanks Moe
Status Quo ,, "You're In The Army Now" on their Greatest Hits album. Good old fashion British rock & roll from the last 3 decades.
Love "Living on an Island" by Quo as well as early 70's stuff.
Listening to "Best of my love" by Eagles
and
"You do something to me" by Paul Weller.

I love "Andy's chest" from that album, so whimsical and strange:
If I could be anything in this world that flew
I would be a bat and come swooping after you..."
but you never hear that on any compilation or radio station
Take it to the limit- The Eagles
the howard stern show from 9/11
Lou Reed---Walk on the Wild Side
Whoa, is that the real Swimpy, an Abuzz and A2K legend???
Just kicked it with Sweet Emotion.
The pre-eminent Aerosmith song!!
My favorite of them.
