And for today's tune, how about a Led Zeppelin cover with big '80s-style gated reverb on the drums? I've always kinda liked NewCIty Rockers' version of "Black Dog." Dude sounds so much like Robert Plant, I thought it was a remix when I first got this record. Who wants it? VG+/gen, CR 8528 on Critique, $3.

Ripped this del Amitri 12" and didn't like it much. "Kiss This Thing Goodbye," it says, and I think I will. Sale pile, NM/VG, EMI, SP 17995, $7. Anyone out there like alt country or whatever this is?

Remember when this stuff played on the 'oldies' station? Is it even on commercial radio anymore? Anyway, starting my day by ripping a Party Time Fifties LP. This is close as I get to collecting 45s, is to get a bunch of 'em repressed on an LP.

Ripping the LP "X" by Georges Brassens. I feel like I'm stuck in a later Wes Anderson film. Chansons? Slim chances.

Easy listening. With a kitten. Also "California Dreamin'" on a winter's day from Frank Potenza's Soft and Warm LP. Let the muzak lift you up.

The "caveman" section of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells LP is weird, but not in a good way. This is what happens when you drink too much and get behind the microphone. Or, rather, what happens when Oldfield does.
