What a groggy morning, but now I am back in my teenage bedroom with with what I felt was the standout track from Hot Space. I remember buying the LP new and spinning it on the turntable. Hot Space really didn't do well for the band and this song stalled at #60. I always thought Roger Taylor brought forward solid songs and I guess you could guess that as the 2 Queen songs I have uploaded were written by Roger.
I am so looking forward to the weekend based on how busy this work week has been. Of course my wife already has started coming up with a list of things I will need to take care of before I can play...oh the humanity!
Picked up this promo Checker 45 at the flea market in March. A little rough but played nicely. This is quite a departure from what has been on my turntable the last few days. I played some new mailorder arrivals. Let's see I played the new Son Volt LP, the new Social Distortion Lp, and 2 record store day Noctorum lp's (Marty Willson-Piper from the Church), then I went into the archives and pulled out a Graham Parker LP and a NAZZ lp. I have some microsoft teams meetings today so I am not sure I will have the space to put on any records but if I do it will be the RSD XTC LP, the RSD Bob Brady lp and I have a James Brown LP staring me in the face begging to be played
It was a little chilly this morning but Cooper and I had a nice walk, except for the train. The train is so loud and hurts Coopers (and my) ears. Most mornings we miss it but not this morning. We had to hang out behind a builiding to wait for it to pass by.
This morning we have Greg Kihn channeling Jonathan Richman
I didn't sleep well last night as my neck was killing me. My Tenz unit didn't effectively help so I ended up taking a hot shower at 1:30am with the massaging head. That helped dramatically and I was able to finally fall back to sleep. Walking Cooper at 5am also helped..something about movement I guess. I have a very busy week so I can't let last night affect me today. Let's start the work week out with some exotica. I bought this mailorder with the Savages, Joe Walsh and some Peacock gospel 45s (among others of course)
I found this one in a box yesterday while I was looking for some doowop to trade to a person I know. I have not seen him in ages, but he has been bugging me to come and trade some 45s. He told me he picked up a ton of gospel and soul 45s so I started pulling things to trade to him. It took me ages to dig through my sleeve box to find a VJ sleeve. I used to have a bunch of them but no more.
By the way, I was so inspired by yesterday's post that I updated the other Savages upload I had with new pictures and reposted the song...enjoy

I picked up the cool blue swirl vinyl promo at the Flea Market in March. I have had the beat up stock copy for years. Love Jr. Walker!
