Not laughing at your choice of delivery but at the Crosley reference. Fads and trends can be so amusing. šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«
@DaveInDenver

I once dated a girl who bought me a Crosley. I already owned a pretty decent little budget hifi setup at the time though. She was so happy to give it to me and in my mind I’m thinking ā€œwhat it gods name am I gonna do with THIS thing?ā€

I probably shouldn't be so judgemental. They have a model with an AT95E cartridge so it's probably not cutting a new groove in the record. I mean, yeah, I had a G.E. Wildcat as a kid. It was pretty cool and I'm sure sounded much like the screeching of wild alley cats fighting. We didn't think about tracking weight and anti-skate and they made 'em not to skip too easily for a reason.

Another tribute way more recent to Dylan’s game

He wrote this in 97 well into his fourth decade of it.

Dozens of famous Dylan songs have been covered over the years
Knocking on heavens door
Blowin in the wind
All along the watchtower

But things like this written ā€œlateā€ in his career and then turned into massive hits 20 years after being written speak even more powerfully to his long running genius

Again cross genre from the OG then descending order of most famous and then lastly maybe the most heartfelt

Kinda obsessive trying to track down a copy of this album. The band, The Hot Melts, seemed to have only made one full length back in 2008/2009. They have a Myspace page! They are from the UK, recorded the album in Chicago apparently, released on Wonderland (Epitaph imprint). The only had one other label mate (it would seem in the U.S. anyway), The Screaming Lights, who also seemed to have just one released record around the same time. In Europe Screaming Lights I think may have been on Anti- Records, which is also an Epitaph label.

Holy shit! I didn't know myspace still existed!

Because we're on the topic, it made me think of the song playing on my myspace page:

Everyone should post the song that was playing on their page, don't lie.

Peabody Coal. Yup. IYKYK

Having spent time in western KY, Boot Hill of MO (I was born in Cape), southern IL.

Harrisburg, Marion, Carbondale,

I know enough that Paradise is the old mine and/or power plant there, how the company town got its name I think.

RIP John Prine.

"Down By The River"
Roy Buchanan

He eventually released a studio recorded cover on You're Not Alone in 1978. However this performance comes from a 1971 documentary about him called "Introducing Roy Buchanan" that aired in 1974 on WNET in New York City. Well worth 90 minutes of your life.
