More '80s. My favorite Clash Song: Straight to Hell
OK, I'm old and I get nostalgic for the music of my musically formative years, in my case, the '80s. Here's one of my all time favorites from that decade. Buy anything by Split Enz or Crowded House. Good stuff!
While in San Francisco, I visited 2 used cd/record stores. My purchases:
Live - Throwing Copper ($3.95)
Lou Reed - Between Thought and Expression: the Lou Reed Anthology, Disk 3 ($7.00)
Rick Springfield - VH1 Behind the Music, the Rick Springfield Collection ($3.95)
Jason Ringenberg - Empire Builders ($8.00)
Minnie Riperton - Only When I'm Dreaming ($7.00)
The Pogues - Pogue Mahone ($8.00)
Split Enz - History Never Repeats: the Best of Split Enz ($5.95)
John Wesley Harding - Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead ($5.95)
Kim Lenz and the Jaguars - The One and Only ($5.95)
I've never heard of Kim Lenz and the Jaguars but liked the CD cover.
Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions
Just read a mini-review of the movie "On the Waterfront" which made me think of this song. You'll see why as soon as it reaches the chorus. I've never seen the movie, but the review has made me want to. I'll put it on my list. I really like the song by the way. The missus and I saw Lloyd Cole play solo several years back at the Rams Head Tavern. Pretty good show.
