WELL GNAT KING COAL AND JUDY GARLAND HAVE GONE WALKIES AND KATE BUSH IS FULL OF SCRATCHES so in despair I hit WH Smiths with my £10 drug money and walked out with four CDs and £1 change!
How exciting!!
Here's my purchases. I'm on an easy listening tip yet again ...
Edith Piaf: The Essential Collection (shouldn't that be "le collection essentiel"?) ~ £1.99
Tammy Wynette: Best of ~ £3
Louis Armstrong: The Collection ~ £1! (His eyes look like they're about to pop out on the cover, he's blowing that trumpet so hard!!)
and lastly, by no means leastly:
Barbra Streisand (again!): Live Concert At The Forum (1972) ~ £3
Good thing I've got cheap taste in music, isn't it!?
O, & here's my pop video of the day: Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson ~ Say Say Say "Acted" intro starring the late, great Linda McArtney (of substitute frozen pork sausages fame) plus Michael Jackson winning an arm wrestle. Highly entertaining.
And entertainment clip: Itchy Baby Bunny ..!
I bought a terrific CD in Makro last week. It's a double CD, was priced at £4.99 but only cost £2.99 when I got to the till. It's called Leaders of the Pack and features songs by girl singers of the sixties. The Shangri-las, Sandie Shaw, Dusty Springfield, the Ronettes. It's a real singalong cheery collection.
ReplyDeleteI adore Ella and she usually comes cheap! Bit of country is good too.
Have you made those welshcakes yet?
Hey, Gledwood! I was glad to see you on my blog! The whole Michael / Paul collaborative effort was mystifying back in the '80s, and hilarious today. Mustn't forget "Ebony and Ivory".
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHA! SAY SAY SAY! YAHOOEY!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Paul definitely wrote the better song for this duet than Michael's dreadful THAT GIRL IS MINE: one of the most unlistentable songs ever!
I miss Linda McCartney.
If you can find it, I would suggest the Loretta Lynn/Jack Black disc (can't remember the name), it's pretty rad....
ReplyDelete-e
That video tells a story.
ReplyDeleteLiz: tried to make biscuits (ie Welshcakes without the currants as I'd eaten the entire lot in the night (oops)) ... but I do not have an oven... i thought tinfoiling over my hotplate would be okay ... unfortunately not... humph!
ReplyDeleteso next time maybe i try a baking tray? greased? on the hotplate?
and try to remember to use teatowel to move it afterwards ... That CD sounds really good. I am on the lookout for a 70s one. I hate it when people say "punk" was the sound of the 1970s. It was not! OK only for a group of maybe 1% of the population. Everyone else was into folk and disco and easy listening ...
Kate: Ebony and Ivory - was Michael Jackson in that as well??
Wat: glad someone agrees with me. The Girl is Mine?? UKKK
Anonymous: I don't know what you're talking about but if I see it and have the £££ I will get it. BC I'm willing to take chances. E.g. when I was 15 I bought Suzanna Vega not having a clue what it was like. Just read a good review in magazine went out got it. Glad I did, too
Dan B: I think the most endearing thing about Judy G was her film performances ... she never seemed to stop being that innocent little girl only instead of being in wonderland she was in a nasty world that somehow she seemed too good for ...
i like A Star Is Born best ... it is so true a story, I know exactly how she feels
Diesel: yup. As I said in my post you don't get stories no more ... (not in pop vids any how) ...
Congrats on Cd purchases, especially the Piaf. Now there's a lady who'd been through it all... Love the entertainment clip!
