Turtles - Eve Of Destruction

Well I spent about 2 hours scanning labels into the computer. Since last nights post was a cover version, I thought I would make this cover version week. I always loved the Turtles version of this classic anti war song.

Oxfords - Always Something There To Remind Me

Woke up to about 4 inches of snow. What a nice surprise and for some reason I thought of this song so here we go. The other side gets lots of attention because of some fuzz guitar but I prefer this poppier side the best.

C -Quents - Merry Christmas Baby

Well I had a bunch of goodies lined up for this past week but next thing I know I get waylayed by a cold/sinus infection that knocked me on my keister. I finally feel a little better so here we are and I thought I would delight you with my favoite soul Christmas song. It does not get any better than this!

Saturday's Children - Deck Five

It's the big countdown to Christmas. It's going to be real low key at my place this year.  Heck, I can't seem to get the Christmas lights on the tree to stay working. It is a sad sight but I am a bit under the weather so I don't really have the motivation to fix them. I do need to get motivated next weekend to tape some 45's to the computer and scan some labels and sleeves so I won't have much work to do to get them ready next semester. I received "A's" in both classes this past semester so I'm feeling pretty good about school.

Shonen Knife - Space Christmas

I'm going to bend my little blog rules here. I had intended this blog would be 60's and maybe some early 70's 45s but as a Christmas present to myself I'm going to upload a few punk/indie Christmas songs. First up is a cool 45 from Shonen Knife. These girls rock!

The Christmas Spirit - Christmas Is My Time Of Year

A supergroup of sorts. This 45 had involvement by the Turtles, and I believe Warren Zevon and Linda Rondstadt were also involved. Not an easy one to find but well worth it

Merseybeats - Really Mystified

I love these mid 60's British freakbeat (I guess that is what this is) singles. I don't know why this never hit here in the states.

Don & The Goodtimes- Sweets For My Sweet

I'm sitting here studying and yawning like crazy and it is only 8pm. Figured I'd better do my upload now or it would be never. A little fluff for a Monday. I added the Searchers version as I always loved it

May Blitz - Fire Queen

I've come to the conclusion that I may not have an upload nightly with all that is going on in my life. One class ended today and my last one next week. Enjoy this nice rarity I picked up this year.
