Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Earlier this morning, I discovered this: [link]
I was gonna link that for you! Apparently they did a Moog figure too. How can they skip on Theremin? A little Clara Rockmore figure at the very least. (That's one of the coolest space age ensembles ever!)
Oooh, here's Clara performing on the "terpistone." Which looks to be something like a cross between a theremin and Dance Dance Revolution.
Huh. Theremin World is a pretty cool site.
The guy who runs Thereminworld, Jason, is a mensch. Just an incredibly nice guy. He's the one who shot me at the Theremin Camp in Asheville a few years back, doing Video Killed The Radio Star.
I have a release question. I have a compulsive need to correctly ID the release years of the songs in my iTunes library. Compilations throw this off, since they have the album release dates, and I want single release dates.
I'm currently confused by "Pressure Drop" by The Specials. I know this song from the 80s, but maybe that was the Maytals version, and The Specials only recorded it in the 90s.
Can anyone tell me for sure?
The Maytals would have been recording reggae, not ska, in the 1980s, and The Specials were most active in the very early 80s.
Looks like "Pressure Drop" first appeared on the 1996 reunion(?) album "Today's Specials": [link]

Or, you know, I could be talking out of my ass.
Thanks, Jon. And thanks also to Scola's ass.

I just want to state for the record that there is nothing wrong with this.
How else would my Good 80s/90s/00s smart playlists work properly?
