2.21.13

On February 21st I was supposed to listen to Sam And Dave Soul Men, but I couldn't find it. So, I listened to Sam And Dave Soul Man: Greatest Hits, Oasis Definitely Maybe, and Tribes Baby.

I always loved “Soothe Me,” mostly because of its placement in The Blues Brothers, and there’s a lot of great stuff on this Greatest Hits, but I don’t know what versions I’m getting. If you look at Sam And Dave’s discography on All Music, there are like 100 Great Hits packages! So, I say fooey to this collection!

Although “Hold On I’m Coming” and “Soul Man” are delights! Plus, their versions of “Summertime” and “Dock Of The Bay” are pretty solid.

I was so into “Supersonic” when this album came out in 1994 that it kick started my love affair with gin and tonics. I take mine with a lemon.

Not much to say about Definitely Maybe. An awe inspiring debut from a working class band with a love of The Beatles and a gunny sack filled with hooks. Noel Gallagher's a pimp!

Liam is NOT a pimp.

Will I ever see Oasis play live again? I dunno, maybe?

I don't think Baby did much here in the States which is a shame because it's a solid effort. 

“Whenever” is one of my favorite songs of 2012! It's got this giant hook of a chorus, a great bass line, and the lyrics are a delicious farce! I fuckin' love it! Go listen to it right now, dickhead!

I also really dig “Corner Of An English Field” “Half Way Home,” "We Were Children," and “When My Day Comes.”

I just read that Tribes will release their second album this May and it’s called Wish To Scream. We’ll definitely be listening to that!

Tomorrow I listen to LL Cool J Radio, Neutral Milk Hotel In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, and Metric Synthetica.
