Come with me on a journey through space and time...


... and my record collection

Starting with:



Side One:

1. Gone Hollywood
2. The Logical Song
3. Goodbye Stranger
4. Breakfast in America
5. Oh Darling

Side Two:

1. Take the Long Way Home
2. Lord Is It Mine
3. Just Another Nervous Wreck
4. Casual Conversations
5. Child of Vision


The standout songs are all on the first side. At first I just wanted to listen to the title track (which was sampled in Gym Class Heroes' Cupid's Chokehold), but The Logical Song (anyone remember this?), Goodbye Stranger and Oh Darling have wormed their catchy ways into my heart. And actually, the last song on the second side is almost as good as any of these.

I don't mind Mondays


Listening to mini-records. I'm usually too lazy for these, since you only get one song out of each side, but today it just hits the spot. I've been neglecting my records for a while now, so it feels right to be back just after the New Moon Eclipse in Cancer. Perfectly complimented by porridge :)

I inherited this collection from my Grandad, but I think they used to belong to my Mum, Aunt and Uncle back in the day. And it turns out, I love Neil Diamond! That's right, and I'm not afraid to say it!


Donny Osmond: Puppy Love, Let My People Go

The Beatles: Instant Karma!, Who Has Seen The Wind?




The Fifth Dimension: Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In, Worst That Could Happen, Ticket To Ride
