59 Today


59 today.
How did that happen?
On a positive note this time next year I will get my work pension and will be able to retire.
I also got some records.
Here are 3 as opposed to 59 songs for yout today.
Having Rol's Hot 100 Countdown to hand helps.

The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound (Acoustic)

1990s - 59

Blondie - 11:59

  1. I have no idea why you have added 30 years to your actual age, but many happy returns

  2. Happy Birthday!
    Maybe a bit niche/obsure, but I immediately thought of 59 to 1 by Tuxedmoon's Half Mute album.

  3. Happy Birthday. You share your birthday with some interesting people: George Bernard Shaw, Darlene Love, Helen Mirren, and Andy Connel of Swing Out Sister

  5. Yesterday's songs, posted on the last day of your 59th year on the planet, were far superior to todays.

    1. Agreed - with the possible exception of Blondie

  6. A very happy birthday to you CC! Yes, Rol's Top 100 countdown could provide your soundtrack for the day.

  7. Happy Birthday CC.

    When I started blogging nearly five years ago the big 6-0 seemed a long way off but it crept up on me and back in June I decided to claim my only semi-decent pension. It's not much as I spent much of my working life in part-time jobs that fitted round childcare/speculative business ventures, but something during these tough times. Don't will the next year away too much but yes it will bring a new freedom and give you even more time for record collecting and blogging!
