Love it. Especially this one:

“Philips Cassette Car Radio plays your choice of music too!”

And now? Recommendation engines? Regression!

Quote from Brian Bilston on Facebook -
~~~
How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors
It’s not rocket surgery.
First, get all your ducks on the same page.
After all, you can’t make an omelette
without breaking stride.
Be sure to watch what you write
with a fine-tuned comb.
Check and re-check until the cows turn blue.
It’s as easy as falling off a piece of cake.
Don’t worry about opening up
a whole hill of beans:
you can always burn that bridge when you come to it,
if you follow where I’m coming from.
Concentrate! Keep your door closed
and your enemies closer.
Finally, don’t take the moral high horse:
if the metaphor fits, walk a mile in it.

well that hit the hammer on the head

Totally funny. Things have changed, in the audio space, a lot since these ads.

From Doom & Gloom Dispatch #28 on Substack:

“That meant you had to make your way to a used record store and dig through the crates to find your own copy (Granted, it wasn’t exactly rare — copies of the Harvest followup were plentiful!). You couldn’t dial it up on the YouTube back then, kids! It was just another little revelation that some of the best things weren’t going to just be handed to me. I was going to have to go searching for them. This isn’t only a good lesson for music, but for life, mannnnn.”

That Dogs Face is incredible, thank you for sharing!

From Lee Friedlander’s 1976 iconic series “The American Monument”. Especially this image can be read as social commentary, that is still valid 47 years after it was taken.

...and a more lighthearted observation of his.

Word Of the Week (WOW)- Sing

Most of you have probably noticed that, while I enjoy many types of music, I tend to listen mostly to singer-songwriters. Lyrics are important to me. So I have chosen these three American male singer songwriters.

Jackson Browne -"That Girl Could Sing" - from the album "Hold Out" 1980


Danny Schmidt - "Houses Sing" - from the album "Man of Many Moons" 2011
I also like his collaborations with his wife Carrie Elkin and also her solo work. That is her on backup vocals. Apparently he wrote this when they were house hunting. Several years ago, Tom and I had hoped to see them at The Green Note in London but sadly we were unable to make it. They are from Austin Texas.


Finally some indie music that I found out about when Tom and I met online in an indie music site over 20 tears ago. Someone there told me about Birddog . I was mesmerized by the haunting hpynotic sound. Birddog was the name used by singer songwriter Bill Santen. In 2004 he put out the album "In The Night Kitchen " under his real name. This is the closing track from that album - "Cincinnati Sings"
