Still available: The Friday Random Ten.

Light blogging at best this week. Has to do with me having vague ideas for a post and then either A) lacking the time and energy to get into what I wanted to get into or B) forgetting what I was going to say. Well, I have off weeks and relative on weeks.

Meanwhile...

1. XTC--Respectable Street
2. Nancy Wilson--The Nearness of You
3. Mika--Touches You
4. Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings--Answer Me
5. Johnny Mathis--When Sunny Gets Blue
6. The Beatles--While My Guitar Gently Weeps
7. Bonzo Dog Band--The Monster Mash
8. Brian Eno--By This River
9. The Kinks--Rosemary Rose*
10. Ry Cooder--Paris, Texas

* One of the songs Ray Davies wrote for the more pop-oriented companion to "Village Green", which unfortunately never came together. At least this song and a few others got a (very limited) exposure on the Great Lost Kinks Album, then wider hearing through expanded CD reissues.

I remember how great we felt after years of looking through music stores for Great Lost the day we finally found it. Some things are better now :-)

Ain't it the truth? That crowd of creepy hooded figures was a pretty good cover, I'd have to say.

Oh, and Happy Birthday.

I was told the other night that some have never been re-released - like 'When I Turn Off The Living Room Light' but can still be found if we know where to look :-)

Thank you :-)
