Your Friday Moment of Words Fail Me
From 2011, please enjoy power pop gods The Left Banke (and the NYU Choral Society) and the damndest version of their masterpiece "Desiree" you'll ever hear.
In Nov 2012 (I looked it up) you raved about the Shocking Blue and I bought one of their Best of albums because of that post. At that time I listened to it a couple of times and it did nothing for me, other than Venus which I had heard countless rimes.
Well yesterday I randomly pulled it out and listened to it for the first time since I bought it. I couldn't believe how great this collection was and couldn't understand why it didn't click back then. Now I'm on my third listen in two days. Thanks.
anyone know who was whom among the oldsters?
ReplyDeletemade me listen to the "Too" album today.
