As you may recall, Rockpile put out a bunch of records during their brief lifespan mostly not under the Rockpile name. Here's one of Edmunds' two.
This starts out with the one-two punch of Girls Talk (Elvis Costello) and Crawling from the Wreckage (Graham Parker) - Edmunds wasn't much of a songwriter, but he was an great interpreter & player.
It's been a very long time since I used my fancy 5 disc autochanger and today marks the day that I start using it again! #Vinyl might be the cooler medium, but CD's are actually my favourite. I collected an amount of rare CD's or albums that are otherwise not available for streaming so that I can rip them and play the music on my phone. This way I also actually own the music, and I won't see it disappearing out of my downloads. (Buggles second album was taken down.)
I have a lot of albums by #GrahamParker and #TheRumour but it still has to get to me properly. So far this album is really enjoyable, nicely upbeat and some really clear production. I get really positive vibes from this album!
Am exchanging two songs a day with my 15 yr old daughter.
I am sending pre 2000 songs of various styles. Show her what it was like before autotune and drone rap and pop songs all sounding the same. Giving her a bit of an education.
While she is sending me current stuff she likes.
While I have been compiling songs lists, I noticed very few were females. Also what apealed to me growing up might not appeal to her. Then there are probably heaps of great songs from growing up in Australia, that I have forgotten all about.
