Danger Danger’s The Return of the Great Gildersleeves:
Well, all right, maybe not, but the old timey blogs pointed the way.
First, on the Facebook, Blackfive posted a song by eighties band Danger Danger:
I liked the sound–man, do I miss the eighties–so I bought the debut CD.
When I was thinking about picking up something else, I looked for another Danger Danger album, and their 2000 release was called The Return of the Great Gildersleeves.
If you’re a Lileks reader, you know who the Great Gildersleeves was. He posts about the old radio show all the time. Including today.
So I had to have it.
I don’t regret it; it’s a pretty good album.
So thanks to all those guys who I’ve been reading for years (one of whom actually visited our home in Casinoport, if you can believe it, making me like a real blogger back in the day) for the pointer.
“How’s the hard rock/songbird balance going these days, Brian J.?” you might ask.
Well, it’s not fifty/fifty these days.
Here are the last ten albums I got:
- Danger Danger Return of the Great Guildersleeves
- Fozzy Judas
- Danger Danger Danger Danger
- Disturbed Indestructible
- Hellyeah Unden!able
- Herb Alpert Music Volume 1
- Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey Music from the Motion Picture
- All That Remains A War You Cannot Win
- Ozzy Osbourne No More Tears
- Sacha Boutros Live from Hawaii
I just haven’t heard anything compelling on WSIE and have been looking for stuff to put on my iPod at the gym.
But I’ve got The Return of the Great Gildersleeves. If the blogosphere as any recommendations for songbirds, I’m all ears.
