ROCKOLLECTIONS: RECORD STORE DAY PT.1

[Mike Pell]

Ever timely, I'll pay due respect to Record Store Day, which is this Saturday.
The Day is dedicated to Independent storeowners, and while I am sure there must be one somewhere in my neighborhood, they have become very hard to find.
These are people who love what they do, it's more than just a job.
And they can be very helpful in finding a record for you, just reciting some lyrics is frequently all it takes.
So for them, and for you, I have picked out some songs about Records.
I knew I would have fun with this, and I am just getting started.
You are invited along for the ride on the turntable, it goes round and round.

RJ,

You've heard the full Robert Klein bit, haven't you?

Hope so, cause I played a short one because of time.

It may surprise you to know I have seen Risky Business- Tom Cruise turns his house into a brothel, right?

Much funnier to me was my introduction to Michael Keaton in Night Shift, similar idea.

But I have to cop to NEVER having seen The Voice, Anerican Idol or any of the many copycats.

I don't think I could take it, lol!

So that REAL version of  Put Your Records On is the only one I know- it hasn't been ruined for me!

Nice touch playing the Aerosmith and the original eh?

Couldn't figure where you might go with the Golden Pell, even your horrible one was in the running.

But Willie gets it, and that IS a terrific song!

So nice pick, but you couldn't go wrong with any in here!

And frankly I think Part Two came out even better- so I can't wait to hear what you think.

You know, that's still my favorite song by Cheap Trick, and it's the second time you have reminded me of it in about 6 weeks.

The first was for the Namedropping shows.

I have a mental block about it, lol!

Did the show over the weekend so it's too late to include, but you've probably heard it enough to last a lifetime, lol!

Get ready for Part Two...TAAA-DAAA!

Thanks for the listen and writing,

Mike

Jon,

It's true, I wouldn't know where to go to buy records- maybe only the Salvation Army store, lol!

You're not supposed to have a plan, the fun is flipping through the records and having one or more leap out at you.

Expect nothing, be surprised!

Then again you DID have a plan...I can't keep up- had you NOT, no disappointment!

Thought I felt the world shift back to it's axis one day, almost tripped and fell, lol!

I fully agree on The Who's Face Dances.

Oh brother, I should have expected the big ten inch reference- and seems you not only have videotape, but also photographs.

Let's see 'em, should be good for a laugh, lol!

Alright, I didn't discuss the difference between 33 1/3, 45 & 78.

But that was only the first HALF of the show, remember?

Keep it in your pants, I will have Part Two out later!

And I will perform the remarkable feat of playing a song for EACH of those turntable speeds!

Thanks for the listen and writing, you maniac, lol,

Mike

Sweet show dude.  Loaded with songs. 

Loved the Robert Klein clip, Every Record Ever Recorded.  Hilarious.

Everyone has heard the Seger song.  And most, like me, probably immediately think of Risky Business, except for you, 'cause you don't watch movies. 

The next two tracks by Andy Martin and Freddy Cannon weren't particularly my bag, but they weren't bad.  But Put Your Records on is horrible.  Not really the song so much, but I watch The Voice with my wife and it seems like it's a popular song for these vocal shows (Jon will have a negative comment about that last statement as soon as he can get to his computer).

Never heard Daily Records by The Who, so that was a nice experience.  And I love the Aerosmith track, it's so cheeky.  Also never heard the original, so I'm glad you played a bit of that.

Now for the possible Golden Pell winners: Mr. Record Man (Willie Nelson), 45 (Elvis Costello) and Rock And Roll Records (JJ Cale).  These were all terrific.  I thought Cale may take it because of that nice guitar work, but it's too short, so I'm firmly going with Willie Nelson.  That's a terrific song.

And now for what you missed: "Then I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch.  Rolling numbers, rock and rolling got my Kiss records out".  Surrender by Cheap Trick.

You don't have any record stores near you? That seems a bit odd, it being New York. We have at least 3 within 30 minutes from the house, but I don't know if I'll partake this year. Went a couple years ago and when I got the each store, I had no plan. Nothing I was looking for, nothing I wanted. I did buy some stuff, just to buy it, but with no plan, it really wasn't a lot of fun. Wait....

I DID have a plan. I did have something I was looking for but nobody had it. That's what depressed me. Then I found it online so the world was righted in it's axis. I make things happen!

That Who album with "Daily Records" is SEVERELY underrated. Granted, when I first heard it went it first came out, I didn't like it. But thru time, I have found that it is a fantastic album, as well as the followup. 

Yep. The ladies like my big ten inch....record. They've told me so. I have it on videotape, for those dounters out there. 

You never discussed the difference between 33 1/3, 45 & 78. Why did you lead me on? Do I need to whip out my big ten inch....record? Will that make you talk?

Other than that missed bit of info, this was a nice show. You played the dancing in the underwear song, plus others. I liked it. My big ten inch....record liked it. I can show you how much it liked it. I have photographs. Wanna see?
