Saturday 70s Top of the Pops Blogging

O.K., admit it, you like this song!

Here's Scottish one-hit wonder Pilot performing their 1974 top 20 hit Magic. To me, if you just replaced lead singer/bassist David Paton's voice with Pete Ham's and roughed the tune up a bit, you'd have yourself a Badfinger song.

You're psychic.

"Magic" features prominently in the forthcoming Dustin Hoffman/Natalie Portman flick about a magic toy shop...

Which doesn't look particularly good, but the song works well in the trailer...

OT: What's Molly Ivors doing on the cover of Time magazine?

Whoa ho ho it's magic...

Kind of odd to have the drummer out front like that. That's probably why he's so well dressed, for a drummer.

There's some Syd Barrett - Floyd era effects on the rhythm guitar if you listen closely.
