I had my suspicions that you would purchase this when I saw it on the Piccadilly website a few weeks ago.
That's lovely... but way too early.
I just bought myself a copy of that new Springfields compilation on Slumberland for my Birthday - does that count...!?
You know me well, Drew. I know you as well too. I expect your Darlene Love post in about a month.
You're correct, of course, Rol. It is too early, but I wanted to give Molly a plug on release day. I always begin my holiday listening on Thanksgiving evening (this year Nov. 28) while doing the dishes after our family feast. I always start with Phil Spector's A Chrsitmas Gift for You, followed by the Beach Boys' Christmas Album. Yes, it takes about that long to do the dishes that day.
MisterPrime, My copy of the Springfields comp came just yesterday. This was a silly purchase for me because I not only have two of the singles in the 7" collection, but I also have the Ballad Ric Menck on both cassette and CD, and this new release is a carbon copy of that album. Still, the vinyl called to me, and I wanted to support the fellas and Slumberland. When is your birthday? Mine was on Wednesday... a milestone b-day at that.
Just picked up on that Brian. Happy Birthday. welcome to the club.
I still find myself suddenly shouting "fuck ***** how did that happen!" randomly 9 months later. I can't see me coming to terms with it any time soon.
Have a great post birthday weekend pal.
I hear you, Drew. We celebrated last weekend by blowing town during a three-day weekend. I stopped by my favorite Portland record shops on the way to the Oregon Coast. I went the Swede route and took long walks on the beach. Most of my time was spent contemplating how I got so old. By Wednesday I was in a mood, but I seem to be past all that now. Never pictured myself being such a wanker about a birthday. Pathetic.
Wow, love that first Molly Burch track. Must investigate further...
Brian, a time will come very very soon indeed when you stop thinking about having become 50. Promised.
Either way, happy birthday, mate! Hope to see you again soon ...
Happy birthday Brian
Hopefully a few new slabs of vinyl came your way
Happy Birthday, Brian! I had that particular biggy last year so I'm pretty much used to being ancient by now. My better half and I went to see Billy Bragg in Sheffield last night doing a 1986 setlist and actually felt like relatively youthful members of the audience! 51 on Sunday - and spending the weekend with my family in a lighthouse in South Shields, what could be finer...!?
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! all better now. Glad you felt young at the BB show, MisterPrime... and happy birthday to you. A few of us have been the oldest at shows, and it's not the best feeling. Our pal Drew here saw the Regrettes. That had to be rough. I would like to see them, but... Hey, Pop Judge. If you don't know Molly Burch, check out Downhearted from her first album. That's the one that hooked me.
The version of Last Christmas is genius too. Reminds me of Taylor Swift a bit.
