It was an interestingly odd day today. Was listening to random stuff on the listening stations today, and somehow I wound up on the discography of Fountains of Wayne. Admittedly, all I really know of them is "Stacy's Mom," which I am quite certain any fan of theirs would say does not adequately represent them. Nevertheless, I previewed all of their records, and quite enjoyed what I heard. I think I might just have to pick up some of their stuff. Here, however, is the important part of all that: IT REMINDED ME HOW MUCH I'D LOVE TO MAKE A POWER-POP RECORD.
Not that it will happen anytime soon, of course, too many irons in the fire at the moment to even think of doing such a thing, but it will happen one day, oh yes, it will.
The second half of my day was devoted to 50's rock and roll. Considering that I am off tomorrow, and my day will be occupied only by activities of my choosing, I wanted to have something new to listen to. Choosing was easy. I picked up that new Buddy Holly tribute record, Rave On: Buddy Holly. It's a very ecelectic mix of artists doing a surprisingly solid selection of tunes. I've been through the whole record twice now. Once on my own, and once with R., who came over very shortly after she discovered I had bought the album, because she needed to hear it.
Her visit sort of kick-started my evening again, and it has been a good night music-wise since.
Can't wait for tomorrow... recording and songwriting to get done! And perhaps a chat with B. after I finish locking out the world for a bit.
