Afternoon Delight

Starland Vocal Band

This is also counting as an early 70s Music Wednesday entry...

Too lazy to look up the release date but its gotta be early/mid 70s because I only vaguely remember it from the time. Me and my sister had "our songs". I think this was hers and mine was that Up Up and Away tune...
Rock on!

70s Music Wednesday: Paper Lace

nobody@vox.com(Dave) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 17:09:27 -0400

This song actually reminds me of the early 90s...when I worked in local tv news...

Many times...esp. during the 11pm newscast....we'd sell ad time to one of those compilation albums and would be treated to 2 minutes of snippets while the ad ran. Hearing it every night for a few months...everybody had the snippets memorized. It wouldn't surprise anybody that came into the studio or control room to find everybody singing at the top of their lungs (including the anchors)...Good times!

This track from '74 was a fav of our sportscaster...heh.

70s Music Wednesday: Reunion

nobody@vox.com(Dave) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:44:19 -0400

ahhh....the planets have aligned...I'm online at home and remembered to post the song I've been forgetting for the past week or so...

Probably hadn't heard this song since I was but a wee lad in the late 70s...till I went on a KTEL/Ronco compilation album hunt and it was on one of my scores....

Originally released in '74 if wikipedia is to believed...and for our purposes...it shall.

70s Music (that should have been posted on) Wednesday: Tony Orlando & Dawn

nobody@vox.com(Dave) — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 06:55:50 -0400

I up'd this Tuesday evening and then totally spaced...d'oh!

So I slept way later than normal yesterday...and today I guess my body thinks its time to go back to work. Boy do I have a surprise for my body...errr...ummm....

This song has been my life for as long as I can remember. I inherited all my mom's albums and 45s...this one's still in the stack. I've always has a soft spot for Tony and the girls. Maybe its the vague memories of their variety show (or maybe they were just specials?)....or...maybe its just the Tie A Yellow Ribbon effect...for some reason that song seemed to hit it big with us kids.

Enough babbling...*knock*knock*knock*

Knock Three Times

70s Music Wednesday: Hall & Oates

nobody@vox.com(Dave) — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 14:26:22 -0400

Not only was I bored enough to drag out my home laptop for the QotD..but I went ahead and saved a few tunes to a jump drive to get me through the rest of the day...

Love me some Hall & Oates...favorite song is probably "Sara Smile"...but I don't think I think I have it (yet)...so went with She's Gone b/c it had a '73 date...(although according to the wiki it was rereleased in '76)I also dug most everything they did in the early 80s...
*sigh* Now for some reason...they've made me think of Solid Gold. Somebody/some network/some web site needs to put those reruns back on the air!

Anyway...enjoy.

70s Music Wednesday (2) - ELO

nobody@vox.com(Dave) — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 12:35:34 -0400

From Punk to Punk Ass?
Can't help it...I like'um. ...Guess I can chalk it up to the "mother" influence. She ruled the stereo/8 track.

This is probably my favorite from Electric Light Orchestra...

70s Music Wednesday: X-Ray Spexs

nobody@vox.com(Dave) — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 07:54:37 -0400

I've up'd a few 70s tracks cause I wasn't sure what I wanted to share....which means I'll probably eventually share them all...

First up...from '77....Oh Bondage! Up Yours! From what I understand this song was released as a single and wasn't included on the following album till its re-release in '05-ish....

Oh Bondage! Up Yours!
