"Plum Crazy" by The Archies

from Strangers In The Morning 7"

'72 b-side clearly influenced by a similarly Jamaican Archies-influenced P. Simon a couple of years earlier ...

"Footsteps on the Roof" by The Shangri-las

from Take The Time 7"

Shadow Morton, huge R.I.P.

"Tokyo City Lights" by Ghost Radio Show

from youtube

Should've grabbed that affordable OP-1 when I had the chance ...

"Main Title" by Richard Band

from The House on Sorority Row OST

Starts in after 1 min or so w/ the Am harp gliss. As one friend said "this should've been the E.T. theme." Kinda sublime.

"there she gose (sic)" by Sunamachi Sound System

from youtube

Posted over on MatrixSynth, genteel bedroom synth magic

"Sesame Street" by Scotty & The Crystalites

from Sesame Street 7"

"all" by Saint Etienne

from live at Lincoln Hall 2012

Pretty perfect way to end a birthday ... solid setlist w/ the new tracks sitting in comfortably, plus both Bob and Pete in tow, Sarah and Debsey in fine form, and Ian Catt complimented me on my bowtie.

"Venus As A Boy (Anglo American Extension)" by Bjork

from Venus As A Boy cdep

Had enough Penderecki rolling today to significantly freak me out, so no qualms when the ipod cued this up in turn. Kinda crazy that Mick Hucknall is at the remix console ...

"Praise Music" by Aubrey Ghent

from Sacred Steel

Clapping breaks get no better, thank you Lord.

"all" by Spain

from She Haunts My Dreams

Grabbed two of the Spain LP reissues, absolutely perfect match to this afternoon's indian summer. Windows wide open.
