Hey there Cheyenne!

By that logic, though, a dwarf with high hair is further from God than a giant with a crewcut.

That's a splitting-hairs kind of logic.

That Pat Boone segue to the Sharrocks used to be a staple of SoCal FM radio during the '80s.
  12:37pm
Dean:

The mention of Gordon Alexander brought to mind Gordon Giltrap, whose records I haven't heard in many years, and many of which I've never heard. Worth revisiting some of the familiar ones from the mid-'70s, I'm thinking.

Yep, FMU is proud to bring you the smooth sounds.

Santos L Halper:

@Dean 12:37: been meaning to investigate Giltrap since Townshend mentioned in his autobio. Heard some dodgy tv theme stuff, didn't track down the good stuff yet. Also checked out that T Munoz/M Crispell record. Want to explore her further (him too).

Also, hi Tony, digging!

Not sure re Waterloo -- I do know the record may get promoted to upstairs status.

yeah, keep the actual American Tears album in the basement, but the cover can go upstairs.

The Paupers tune reminded me of post-Genesis Phillips. It's contemporary with his founding of Genesis. Used to have a bunch of his LPs, Geese & the Ghost and all, but I wearied of them.
