Pop:GYM CLASS HEROES "The Quilt" (Decaydance, 2 { stars)As the title suggests, "The Quilt" is a colorful patchwork project. The hip-hop darlings of the Warped Tour, Gym Class Heroes are a biracial band from Upstate New York that proudly wear their rap identity on their sleeves. But they keep pulling choice pop influences out of their pockets. "Blinded by the Sun," for instance, quotes extensively from...
(#446, 17th November 1979) The song may be a standard of sorts, but Dr Hook were one of the acts I came to Popular with very little idea about - kind of bluesy? Rootsy? Definitely rockers - the name summoned vague associations of bike grease and whisky… but then I remembered. I was getting them [...]
While on local radio in the hockey-crazed town of Charleston, player-coach Reggie Dunlop put out a “personal bounty” on Syracuse’s Tim “Dr. Hook” McCracken. One hundred bucks of his own money to anyone on the Chiefs who could lay out the opposing captain. The game was a melee, with the Chiefs gunning for McCracken like [...]

Who can tell me what two artists wrote the song my title came from!? I’ve been devising a post regarding the first time I got obliterated drunk and threw up at a high school dance, just haven’t been able to get it down. Good times. So, for now? Random songs from my iTunes. You know, while I get my [...]
Good morning. How are you? Summer going well? Mine would be, if not for two factors. I’m a guy so I refused to ask for assistance the first time I loaded my boat on a trailer from the water. Also decided not to (a) ask for help, (b) read any material whatsoever that would have given me hints how to do it, (c) remember to lift the motor. So that was cool. Oh, and I also watched 44 minutes of an infommercial...
I haven't posted in over a week, so here is a random Sunday post of sweet selections from the '70s to make up for it. The photo I took in my back yard a few weeks ago. Yes, I'm a bit of a gardener, and have some lovely flowers to show for it. This week I'll be accompanying all of my posts with shots from my yard. Enjoy... 6ix - I'm Just Like You Jeff Beck - Come Dancing Gerry Rafferty - Baker
For some reason, I've been on a Dr. Hook vibe this week. So I decided to offer up this classic album cover for this week's Caption This. C'mon, When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman with Sexy Eyes, you can't help but think about Sharing The Night Together. Dr. Hook!

So what do I do? I normally bin ANY chain mail letter or email within seconds, no matter who it comes from. I really do not care if by doing so I am incurring the wrath of alien beings that will eat my liver (it is nicely marinated) or seven plagues will be visited upon my life (Ha! I have Boris Johnson as Mayor, I only have 6 left to try and deal with!) However, I was 'tagged' by Max for Seven Songs...
“When you’re in love with a football manager, it blows your mind,” goes the Dr Hook song (or something like that, anyway). The Times reports that, ahead of Sunday’s Tyne-Wear derby, Sunderland manager Roy Keane has been positively glowing in his praise for Kevin Keegan. The Magpies boss endured a torrid start to his second [...]
