23 - Obsessed with You - X-Ray Spex - 1978  (2:28)

24 - Showdown - Electric Light Orchestra - 1973  (4:08)

25 - Wasted (live) - The Runaways - 1978  (3:42)

26 - Sneaky Sue - Patty Lace and the Petticoats - 1963  (2:41)

Take a good listen to Track 1.   It might be one of the first mash-ups!  And when I listen to Track 26, to me it sounds like they’re singing “Stinky Sue.” I like Track 14 because a college friend used to let us ride in his "AMC Pacer." However, it has been decades before the threat of Track 21 was a real and present danger. And at least the title of Track 16 comes to my mind every time I see state or national news's sound clips of my elected officers.

Don't be mad, listen to music!

Welcome to the MUSICAL MONTH OF MAY 2023!

All this month, here on the Super Blog and on the Record Round-Up, we'll have a new music compilation every Monday and Thursday. (Some are reissues because they've been updated or had lapsed links.)
                           
Here's an updated version of The Insect Lounge, which brings back memories of the overnight then-now-music broadcast on KSCS, Edmond, OK.

The original post, with excruciating details, is here.

Since 2017, I've come across a 1984 article about the radio station at (now) KUCO.

Since the original post: In July 2022, I came across the original typed cassette insert in a box of blank cassettes.  I used the insert to arrange the tracks in their “correct” order—the way the tape sounded until I wore it out.

To preserve the historicity of the original cassette recording, Tracks 3-4-5-6 — Tracks 9-10 — and Tracks 13-14 are crossfaded.

See you Thursday!

 

A WATCHMEN Oopsie

 A WATCHMEN Oopsie

It’s a small thing, but Watchmen is such an intricately planned, scripted, and drawn creation that I was amused to find a continuity boo-boo on the ding-dang second page of the first issue.

            Above is the entire page 2.  Look at the bottom row of panels, Panel 6 and Panel 8.  Detective Steve Fine is the blond cop in the trench coat with the ciggie in his mouth.

Look at the smashed mirror in the panels. This is supposed to be the same smashed mirror. But the holes aren’t the same.

See you Monday for the first instalment of this year's MUSICAL MONTH OF MAY, with new comps every Monday and Thursday!
