It's an odd sort of communal living, and while I understand 100% why they have it for older folks, man... you'd think a bunch of apartments with a sort of cafeteria for non-older folks might sell, too. If anyone wants in on my idea for a unique development project, send me a note.
Here's Jamie and Lucy sitting on the bed in my old room. A rare occurrence for Lucy to actually look at the camera.
I forgot to take a picture or two of my grandfather, which is actually why I stuck the camera in my pocket. But since we were on the topic...
Here's a small portion of my tape collection left at my parents' house from yesteryear. A lot of my tapes went to college with me, and so a lot of the cases were actually empty. I had a few other tape containers as well, but I have not a clue what became of those cases/ tapes/ etc...
I actually found some of those tapes that I was talking about in my last post.
As well as many that I was slightly less excited about.
And some I probably should have mentioned but did not.
Oh My God, you bought Give My Regards to Broad Street!
ReplyDeleteSome of these are Jason's tapes and some are my parents.
ReplyDeleteWe actually went as a family to see "Give my Regards to Broadstreet" at the Village theater in Austin during its initial release. I don't really remember much about it other than the bear cartoon which preceeded it and that it was the first time I hear Eleanor Rigby.
But the cassette was probably Jason's via my parents.
Don't knock "Give My Regards to Broad Street." There's a nice medley of "Yester/Here, There & Everywhere/Wanderlust" on that soundtrack. Never saw the movie. Nice on the Urban Dance Squad. Deeper Shade of Soul! Yeah, eah-eah-eah! - JMD
ReplyDeleteI don't think either of us was knocking the album or movie. I just haven't seen it since 1984 or listened to the album since 86-ish. And Nathan is a pretty big Beatles nut, so I think that was more a "you have this semi-esoteric album in there with Whitesnake! Holy cow!" exclamation.
ReplyDeleteStrange that you have Digital Underground's EP.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I do. I'm not sure what you're looking at. I have Urban Dance Squad's album, but that's a whole other ball of wax.
ReplyDeleteI did kind of like Digital Underground, though. At least what little I saw on MTV. Like any other kid, I was slightly into party hip-hop, and who could turn away from the vocal stylings of Humpty? So, sure, maybe there's some Digital Underground in there.
Also, don't post anonymously.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I actually have that Harmonica for the Musically Hopeless Cassette!...and remember...Quiet Riot.."that mental health will drive you mad."
ReplyDeleteThe harmonica thing was a Christmas present. I think I gave up after the second lesson.
ReplyDeleteQuiet Riot came from a garage sale. Aside from the hit single, I don't think I cared too much for the rest of the album.
Still a great cover, though.
