I'd rather eat broken glass than listen to it again.

Inspired by a post by Fickles, one of the great underrated albums of the 1960s:

Awww, thanks, EDE. Wonderful album, still sounds as fresh and offbeat as it must have way back when.

You know... I don't think I've ever actually listened to their other albums.

I haven't either, but I have a Love best-of CD, and IMO none of the pre-FC or post-FC songs even come close. FC was lightning in a bottle.

^^That's another favorite of mine, Stalgie. I first heard it when I was 12 and my older cousin sent me a mix tape with the entire "Forever Young" album on one side.

The first REM album I heard was just like that, a side on a mix tape. C30 C60 C90 Go!

I miss cassettes. They were so...80s. In the best possible way.

cassettes... in a Walkman...sooooo cool.

...guilty pleasure...busted.

A song by obscure band Australian Crawl called "Unpublished Critics" that shares more than just a basic chord progression with GnR's "Sweet Child O' Mine"--

Here's a mash-up showing the similarities more closely-

Robin Thicke and Pharrell lost in court to Marvin Gaye's estate over "Blurred Lines" ripping Gaye's songs off... Aussie Crawl's song predates GnR's by 6 or 7 years. The difference being Gaye's fame over AC's obscurity... kind of fascinating. Okay, nothing to see here...

I listened to a bunch of different versions of an old Civil War era folk tune called "Goober Peas" yesterday just to assure myself it actually existed. Kids in Georgia still sang that kind of thing back when I was in 2nd grade. We also sang "Dixie" which I think has been retired, thankfully.

"Goober Peas" brings back memories. We sang it in Tennessee too. And "Dixie".

Ha, on my daughter's social studies final today there was a question about food items eaten during the Civil War and one of the ones mentioned were goober peas. She said it was really hard not to laugh and sing a little of it.

I heard this at the gym today and it was the most bizarre thing I've heard in a while, but it's been stuck in my head all evening!
