Harvey Russell & The Rogues - Shake Sherry

Week is winding down and as it will be cold this weekend so I plan on recording tons of stuff not to mention updating my database with new purchases I have not had time to do- if we don't lose power that is

Colleen & Teddy - Beachnut / Lonesome Blues

Another recent pickup. Sounds like we are going to get snow this weekend but here in Eastern NC you can't depend on that weather report until you actually see the white stuff on the ground

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Jennifer She Said

I remember first seeing Lloyd Cole And The Commotions on MTV with their early videos. Their 12" singles were among the ones that "were missing" years ago but I have since been able to re-purchase them. I picked up the UK 45 for this a few months ago with the nice gatefold cover. Oh, and the promo 12" single is still sealed. They never found any success here in the states which is a shame. More Lloyd to come

Bram Tchaikovsky - Girl Of My Dreams

Another cold morning with it being 13 degrees including wind chill. Another morning with hot tea- I love it but I don't want it to replace my coffee consumption. Why not warm up with one of my favorite powerpop songs. This actually hit #37 on the US charts but I don't remember ever hearing it on the radio back in 1979. OCD me has just a few of these- 2 UK, one with the gatefold sleeve. Promo arrived into my collection recently and of course I recorded the long version for this post.

Casual - Aires - Cruising / Bossa Nova Twist

I'm sitting here in slo-motion, drinking hot tea. My stomache was a bit upset yesterday so I thought I would avoid coffee today. The hot beverage is relaxing, as is the pitter patter of rain outside. We had lots of rain and ice this weekend but no snow. Thankful we did not lose power like 20,000 other North Carolinians did.

Original Five Blind Boys - Sending Up My Timber / Lord, Lord You've Been So Good To Me

 Nice spiritual sounds for this cold wet Sunday morning. Glad I have nowhere I need to go today

The Pre-Cambrian Lightning Bolt - Hey There Sunshine / Morning Dew

I like to sometimes put on my headphones and plug this blog on my phone and listen to some of the stuff I have posted. Is that weird? Hey, I love all this music so it's like my own personal jukebox but I wish it would randomly choose and not leave that up to me. As I pick songs to listen to, I realize just how neglectful I have been to quire a few artists. I guess I just have to keep plugging away and trying to even it out. In the meantime you get obscurities like this one. I picked it up in the December buy
