For no real reason I listened to Dexy's Midnight Runner's version of "Jackie Wilson Said" about 5 times the last few days, partly because the original is not on Spotify and I have no desire to dig for my ancient "Best of Van Morrison" CD. It's a good version nonetheless.

I agree, the Dexys version is good. Their performance of it on "The Young Ones" was my favorite musical performance on that show.

Madness are wonderful. As I said earlier in this thread, I think their later, less successful singles are just as good as their biggest hits. "Uncle $am" is not only a fun song to listen to, but also lyrically it's more relevant than ever.

Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

And... turntable is now FIXED! Mostly. I think one of the speaker connections is still a bit weird, but never mind. I now have a HUGE stack of new used vinyl from the dollar bin: Maxine Sullivan, Tracy Nelson, CSN, Climax Blues, and [swoon] Carmen McRae! I can't wait until tonight so I can lounge around and listen to them!

Will do.
But first, it's over to YouTube for Teddy Pendergrass ("Love TKO") and Bobby Womack ("I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much.")
Before my day's yardwork, it was a couple of English Beat discs.

Isn't she, though? Glad to see you keep warming up to her, Stalgie.

I can still think she's cute even if I don't care for her music.

That was very 80's-esque.

No offense, Cobie, but even with my love for almost all pop music from-and-or-inspired-by-the-80s, I found it...meh.

Emm yeah, not exactly a unique voice and I can't tell if it's meant as homage or sarcasm.
For an Ohio boy, the lead singer has some interesting connections to a teacher type like me. He went to a newish religiously based private school that actually put its money where its mouth is by building an additional high school in a poorer neighborhood (in addition to the usual preppy location) and the endower followed fairly conservative principals to becoming megarich rich but then bungled it all by becoming involved with Michael Milkin.

Thanks for sharing. The little '80s bits are nice and it's a fun vid.

Ever since Cobie posted Shut Up and Dance in this thread, it's been stuck in my head for weeks. God damn, it's catchy. Thanks Cobie.

Yeah, I had it in my head for a day or so. I didn't replay it so I could move on
