“everyones gone to the movies, now we’re alone at last…”
how i love The Dan
Great stuff! You’ve really been a tear the last few posts. Great variety here and love the Dylan stuff, too. And the Trip comp is fascinating as well. Thanks for the continuing good work!
got to be the coolest selection of tracks, nice little mix tape it makes. Thank you sir!
I’ve been coincidentally spinning that Spoon for days. Great great great.
And re “Vicar,” there’s a pretty cool reminiscence from Johnny Marr here, from the Independent a few weeks back. In case you missed it. Can’t believe QUEEN IS DEAD is twenty years old.
Is there in fact a new game here?
Lechery of the highest order!
best blog ever.
I posted my thoughts about the first Roxy Music album this morning over at my blog Mere Words. Your comments are invited. Thanks.
