Huh! I don't remember doing that. (Probably was me, though.)

I've loved "Expressway To Your Heart" by The Soul Survivors since I was four, but as I was singing along to it the other day it occurred to me for the first time that the lyric There's too many / Ahead of me / They're all tryin' / To get in front of me doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

This afternoon's revelation: Rotary Connection were the American Os Mutantes.

(Not as good, mind you.)

See an advert with sitting on the dock of the bay with the original music replace with dance music.

I think.

I took it to mean Otis' voice, but with new back-up.

Either way, I'd rather not hear it.

You're lucky you haven't.

I watched Bruce Springsteen: In His Words last night, and while I'm a late comer to Springsteen (which I regret), his up bringing is not what I thought it would be. With his songs and lyrics about working class folk, and the mental struggles for men in some songs, I thought he would be personally experienced. Turns out, he never worked a day in in life and he was the spoilt kid in the family. I don't know, It's just not what I thought his upbringing would be when you listen to some of his lyrics. It doesn't take away from his songs, just a bit of a surprise.

On my walk to work this morning I had 'Ain't No Sunshine' going through my head, but the chorus was from 'On The Beach'. It totally worked in my head...

All good shit, Clive - thanks!

More Watt:

The great bassist and spieler Mike Watt joins me this time around to discuss the impact that "Tyranny & Mutation," the 1973 album by Blue Oyster Cult, had on his long career in rock and punk.

They certainly had a lot of interesting production values. I ended up buying their first one after reading something about them.
I haven't ventured any further mind you but I do play the one from time to time.
