Still Alive on Route 55



I am 55 years young today..
To celebrate and given that I have a spectacular lack of imagination I am going to do the same as last year's birthday post and select the 55th songs from my vinyl and CD lists.
Starting with the vinyl there has been relatively little movement over the last year in the A to C section.
Last year The Clash - the Singles this year one of the top 10 albums of all time London Calling and one which I have just played in it's entirety.
As recently discussed at Brian's place every track is an absolute cracker.
I've gone for Rudy Can't Fail, tomorrow it would be something else.
A wee bit more movement on the CD front going from Bi and last year's cult classic Big Star to Be and this year's cult classic The Beta Band.
I'll try to think up something more original for next year

The Clash - Rudy Can't Fail

The Beta Band - Round the Bend

    Happy Birthday. How old do you think you'll be to have to be to post a Fall track on this most auspicious of days (Mick Jagger's birthday)?

    I spent the first 19 years of my life along I-55. So your art today really took me for a ride. Hopping on meant two hours to St. Louis or three hours to Chicago. Either direction was way better than where I was floundering. Now that I know why you chose it, I wish you nothing but the best. Great choice from the Clash and a wonderful way to spend a birthday.

    Belated birthday greetings. I'll have a Britvic in your honour. Sadly, the only appropriate song I could think of was Tom Waits... Ol' 55!
