I've Been Remiss

It's been a rough year.

Sorry about that.

But I'm breaking my silence (better late than never) to present another in a series of perfect pop songs.

And if it's from the band that did "Closing Time" in the last millenium and hasn't put out a record in nearly 20 years, well that's just 2020 for ya.

Singing Credits

One of the oddball phrases you hear a lot is that someone is so great that you'd listen to them read the phone book.

Well, it used to be a phrase you'd hear a lot back before the internet when people had and used phone books. (Kids, ask your parents what this means.)

But Harry Nilsson really did have a voice that was so beautiful that it would be cool to hear him sing the phone book.

As far as I know he never did that (or at least never recorded it), but here's the next best thing: Nilsson sings the credits to the Otto Preminger movie Skidoo.

Let's Go For A Bounce On My Trampoline

Someone told me the other night that I look like John Sebastian.

I don't see it, but okay.

I Wonder What It Cost Me

I loved the original version of this by Robyn Hitchcock and never knew this version existed until the YouTube Rabbit Hole served it up for me just now.

Oddly appropriate since I haven't posted in forever and the last post was another Neko Case song.

When You See Your Face on Their Money

They'll Use You For Centuries To Come

New Graham Parker

Yeah!

No Ray of Sunlight's Ever Lost

Real life has interfered in a big way recently. Sorry for the lack of posts.

Meanwhile, enjoy Vance Joy.
