This just popped up on my computer while shuffling my entire music collection (I love doing that) and thought you all should hear it. I love this song, I always have. I always felt the radio dj was my friend. They always seemed to be playing my favorite songs just for me and I'd record them on my red portable cassette player. How did I record all the songs? By holding the cassette player up to the speakers. Ah, technology, how far we've come. Here's a rip of the song from the 45 I bought when it was released. Enjoy!
Get sad, buy cds at 50% off, wonder where you are going to get all the latest releases by walking a couple of blocks.
Future Legend, in Hell's Kitchen NYC, is closing after 4 years. It's sad. The shop owners are great people and have been very influential in my listening habits over the years. I have bought hundreds of albums there and now I don't know where to go! The closest cd store is Virgin and I just can't bring myself to do it.
So this is just a little homage to a great place that will be truly missed.
Here's a song from one of the bands introduced to me by Greta at Future Legend.
I hope you all find a little record store where you belong.

So what do you think will be taking it's place?: 1) A Bank 2) A Shoe Store 3) A Thai Restaurant
Well, I suppose 'tis better to have loved a record store and lost... I had a love affair with 3rd Street Jazz and Rock in Philadelphia when I lived there and was distraught when I went back last summer and it was gone.
And Hi-Fi, my local used store, closed years ago and was replaced by a dentist's office. Maybe this is the reason I've found it so easy to go digital...
Here are the 20 albums released in 2007 that I listened to most in 2007. These are in no particular order and do not completely represent my favorite albums of the year due to some albums I like being released late in 2007.
Georgie James is my favorite album of the year. I love that pop stuff!
Happy new year my mogger friends!
