The BoDeans - She's A Runaway
I can recall the exact moment when I first heard the BoDeans. It was during a car ride from Merrimack, NH to Portsmouth, NH to go to Pease AFB for some reason or anoth…
Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army
I can't believe it's been 30 years since this was released.
You know, it still sounds fresh to these old ears. The song was never a hit in the US, but I was a huge fa…
Steve Forbert - Goin' Down to Laurel
I flip through lots of magazines while I wait in lines, and I have noticed article after article in the ladies mags hyping how to save money on this and that, ho…
Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise
I've been having Stevie Wonder flashbacks since I produced a Powerpoint slide show for my Aunt Mary's birthday a few weeks ago. (I used Isn't She Lovely with silly pi…
Monday, when I participated in the Monday Movie Meme, I totally spaced out and forgot one of my favorite musicals: Little Shop Of Horrors. Sticks was in the pit band for a community theater productio…
It's been awhile, but I'm back!
The The - This Is The Day
I just flashed back to this when I wrote the Top 5 on Friday post this morning!
It's from The The's 1983 album, Soul Mining, and it canno…
The Neil Young show rocked, and my favorite song in the set was Cortez The Killer. Need I explain the flashback any further?
I didn't get out to any other shows besides this one and the Christmas TS…
Fountains Of Wayne - Valley Winter Song
The other day, I was thinking about creating a playlist of songs that aren't Christmas songs, but sound like they could be Christmas songs. I know, it's word…
James - She's A Star
Smiths wannabes, James, never really caught on over here in the States, but they did get some MTV time in the 90's when Laid hit number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers album chart…
Sister Hazel - All For You
I was watching the morning news on the Boston Fox station, and I heard some familiar music accompanying one story. I couldn't identify it right away and that always drives …
Graham Parker - White Honey
This week, I spent so much time focusing on the election hoohaa that I pretty much zoned out everything else. To remedy that, I listened to Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey…
Yesterday, I shopped in this very stodgy gift shop in the swanky new section of the Natick Mall, errr, I mean The Natick Collection. (Hoity-toity enough for ya?) This is the kind of store that usuall…
Donnie Iris - Ah! Leah!
Yes, it's totally cheesy, but whenever I hear it, it sends me back to 1981, when I finally moved back to the states from Guam. I had just settled in a duplex in OB (That's Oc…
This week on the Contrast Podcast, the theme was Album Closers, and I chose Elvis Costello's final song from the US release of "This Year's Model", "Radio Radio." I usually put considerable thought i…
Music of 1973
Imagine this: you are hit by a car and knocked out, and when you come to, it's 1973. That is the premise of the new ABC series (based on a BBC show), Life On Mars. Sounds cool. If you…
70's Power Pop Flashback
Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action
The Rubinoos - The Girl
20/20 - Yellow Pills
I'm on a little power pop kick, trying to get out of a funk I've been in all year. Nothing…
The Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away
These flashbacks are giving me a headache. Oh wait, maybe it's just the war, the 700 billion dollar bailout, the prospect of a depression, the .....
You get i…
Three Dog Night - The Show Must Go On
This week's flashback occured last Saturday during Sticks' company outing at Canobie Lake Park. Every time I go to an amusement park, I get this Three Dog Night…
David Naughton - Makin' It
The thing about flashbacks is that they're not always pleasant or welcome, as was the case this week.
I was lazy and a little bit tired on Wednesday, which was brought o…
The Rumour - My Little Red Book
Even though I quit my job, I'm filling up my date book with workshops, meetings, girls days out, and the like. I don't know where I'd be without my little red book (…
