Nice. Good country/blues vibe!

I was driving to work last week and "Emotional Rescue" came on the radio. What an awful song.

I heard this on Galaxie last night, and loved it. Caution, the video rapidly flashes images at the viewer. It could cause an epileptic seizure, or I dunno program you to want to buy products or perform assassinations for CSIS. Just saying. There's a lot of images, your conscious can't process all of them, your subconscious might, and I suddenly feel the urge to buy a Keurig. It's your own trip, but I'm just saying.

'77's Some Girls was the last really good 'Stones album...

'81's Tattoo You is very good,but,most of those songs had been written in the early '70's...

I have '78's Emotional Rescue and....You're right...It ain't so good...

No, it's quite awful. It gives even disco a bad name.

I don't care for Some Girls, either.

But I wholeheartedly agree with you about the "Big 4." 1968-1972 was when the Stones shone the brightest. Especially those first two of the four. Influenced so many, from Aerosmith to Guns n Roses to the Rheostatics.

(Incidentally, you can't even watch a Martin Scorcese movie without hearing "Gimme Shelter" played. :) )

Very sad about Lou. I was never really a fan of his but have to admit that he was influential. This weekend I'm listening to the new Paul McCartney album, New. Great album, lots of really good songs. This man just keeps going and going. Undoubtedly one of the real music greats.

RIP Lou Reed

Such a great song. See ya Lou.

More poignant Lou Reed....

I had actually not heard "Perfect Day" prior to it being featured in the current TV ads for the Playstation 4:

As with Angus, I never cared for Lou Reed, but I can understand that he's respected.

Even though he's not among my favorites, he's been on my stereo a lot recently as he contributed vocals to the chorus of this song from last year's Metric record:

Perfect Day, along with a discussion about Lou, was also in Trainspotting. One of my all time favourite movies.

That means you haven't seen "Trainspotting" That's worth a rental.

I saw Trainspotting, although it was a long time ago. I didn't remember that song being in that scene for some reason.

I do remember Blondie very clearly, though.

I loved that intro! Trainspotting produced two really good soundtracks. I remember being addicted to Uderworld's - Born Slippy back in the day.
