Favorite Album #79: Frank Zappa - Joe’s Garage, Act I (1979) As Bill Hader said some of Frank’s songs are creepy. Many others are incredible. I love Ike Willis singing the title track’s LA band story. The LP themes warn of many dystopian aspects, not the least of which involves the band Toto

1st pitch, Padres v. A’s @ my first ever spring training game

2/23/1974: #63 A Very Special Love Song - Charlie Rich #73 On A Night Like This - Bob Dylan #77 Let It Ride - Bachman-Turner Overdrive #94 Piano Man - Billy Joel #97 Midnight At The Oasis - Maria Muldaur #99 Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield

Favorite Album #80: The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (1986) I love how many people in my circle know & really like this album given commercial radio in the towns I’ve lived in never put any of these songs in standard rotation

2/22/1986: #52 Kiss - Prince & The Revolution #76 Overjoyed - Stevie Wonder #95 What Have You Done For Me Lately - Janet Jackson

Favorite Album #81: Semisonic - Feeling Strangely Fine (1998) I could’ve gone w/Great Divide or Trip Shakespeare’s 1st or 2nd LP but today I’m FSF. It’s a shame nü metal’s advance on commercial alt rock radio relegated bands like Semisonic. These 3 guys made a lot of great 21st century music.

2/14/1981: #74 Morning Train - Sheena Easton #83 Just The Two Of Us - Grover Washington Jr. #89 Being With You - Smokey Robinson

Favorite Album #82: John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band (1970) I was 12 when JL was shot. The next Sunday KWK aired a special 9p-midnight. I spent my allowance on K-Mart 8-tracks to tape it. My deck had auto stop & I fell asleep after 2nd tape insert. What an impact hearing Mother, etc for the 1st time
