Caravan - If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You

Hands down one of the best half dozen albums of all time, IMHO of course.

RIP Richard Coughlan

Yes, it's very sad. My 16 year old son loves Caravan - he has all their albums and listens to them regularly (to put that particular enthusiasm in perspective, I should explain that I never mentioned Caravan and never played him any of their music - somehow, he found this music himself). I haven't had the heart to tell him about Richard, yet.

Still, MM, Caravan's wonderful recordings live on and we can listen to them whenever we want.

Run to You - Bryan Adams

[3.14159]

Open all night.

I had the carburetor cleaned and checked with her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet
Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks for a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
Took her down to the carwash check the plugs and points
I'm goin' out tonight I'm gonna rock that joint

Early north Jersey industrial skyline I'm a all set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime
Gotta find a gas station gotta find a payphone this turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone
Gotta hit the gas 'cause I'm runnin' late, this New Jersey n the mornin' like a lunar landscape

The boss don't dig me so he put me on the nightshift
It's an all night run to get back to where my baby lives
In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy radio relay towers won't you lead me to my baby
Underneath the overpass trooper hits his party light switch
Goodnight good luck one two powershift

I met Wanda when she was employed behind the counter at the route 60 Bobs Big Boy fried chicken on the front seat she's sittin' in my lap
We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap
I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill with them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still

5 A.M. oil pressure's sinkin' fast
I make a pit stop wipe the windshield check the gas
Gotta call my baby on the telephone
Let her know that her daddy's comin' on home
Sit tight little mamma I'm commin' round I got 3 more hours but I'm coverin' ground

Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations lost souls callin' long distance salvation
Hey mr. deejay woncha hear my last prayer hey ho rock 'n roll deliver me from nowhere.

And, for something a little weirder, the first single from Scott Walker's latest album:

Oh, by the way, if you're not moved by this you should probably have your pulse checked:

If I remember to put it in my will, sure.

MM, really glad you liked it. That's a lovely song, too—faster tempo, but reminds me a little of the Incredible String Band, which I fell in love with last year (and perhaps even a little of Neutral Milk Hotel). I guess they all fit into that very broad folk/celtic/rock spectrum.

Just playing on youtube and had a listen to this.

Strong memories of about the only time ever my dancing was not met with derision and scorn but actually nearly broke up two relationships.

Scene was a 21st in a back yard in about 1986 or 7. This song came on and I found myself dancing with the blonde European fiancee of the birthday girls older brother. We both had a great time, and never actually touched each other but apparently if eye contact counted as physical contact we were $£$%^%%$ on the dance floor. I suppose when the ye contact is from about 3 inches away it's easy for people to get the wrong idea.

After that dance, my then GF gave me the rounds of the house while the poor bird I was dancing with was dragged into the house for basically a family meeting.

I haven't danced in public since. I figure it's too dangerous.
