Song-Searching
My dad once told me that the first time he heard "I, Robot" by the Alan Parsons Project play on the radio, he gave the station a call to learn what it was called. It also doesn't really have any lyrics to help him identify it.

Revamping My Teenage Record Collection
Introduction I was born in 1957 and as a teenager built up a vinyl and cassette collection.

The ABC's of the 70's
Here, I would like to share one song from the 70's for each letter of the alphabet. There was more than one time in which designating one song for a letter was difficult.

Go Stomu Yamash'ta
Introduction As a teenager, I saw the cover of "Floating Music" by Stomu Yamash'ta and Come To The Edge and had to buy it immediately, just because it was so beautiful. I really did not know what to expect.

Benefits Of The Availability Of Digital Music
Introduction This has been partly influenced by Julian Cope's "Copendium" that I am reading at the moment and it is introducing me to a lot of music that I was unaware of, having said that I completely missed AC/DC although I sang several of their songs when I played with Spoon and The Abominable Showmen. You can see me here much fatter singing "Wuthering Heights" (Kate Bush) and Highway To Hell (AC/DC)

Three Times the Charm
I was going to start a series about songs that have numbers in the title. However, as much as there are plenty of songs with one in the title I am not so sure about the other songs and other numbers. I have been successful with songs with two in the title and they’re followed by songs with three in the title. This is where I end this series. The link to the articles will be added below.

"Aubrey" – Bread (1972)
Here is a song that captures my heart. It makes me sway, mindless to everything except the words and its daydream. In less than four minutes, the pure magic of David Gates is completely encompassed. Is it rare to find a song whose music perfectly matches its lyrics, whose melody is not overly vain, nor underdeveloped? Every particle of this song’s light is warm and dances like the manifestation of art itself.

So let me begin with one and see how things progress. Here I am progressing. I have been successful with songs with two in the title and they’ll be followed by songs with three in the title.
