Friday's Playlist #27.5

Update.
What was Friday's Playlist #27 is now Friday's Playlist #27.5. See the following link for why an added 0.5 was necessary. Scrub December 2007 and replace it with September 2011.

Where was I? Oh yeah, December 2007. Back when people still had (and updated) blogs and when Elon Musk still had his original hairline. What was once an ongoing series . . . well, we will just see. 

One thing for certain, though: looking back at the old Friday Playlists just reminds me what a great resource MySpace was for discovering new music. Maybe if Twitter bites the dust, people will rediscover the joy of MySpace. Here's hoping . . . 
  • Gene Loves Jezebel, 'Suspicion' (The House of Dolls)
  • The Beatles, 'Doctor Robert' (Revolver)
  • Amy Rigby, 'The Summer Of My Wasted Youth' (18 Again - An Anthology)
  • Gil Scott- Heron, ' Lady Day and John Coltrane' (Pieces of a Man)
  • Elbow, 'Scattered Black and Whites' (Asleep in the Back)
  • Shelagh Mcdonald, 'Let No Man Steal Your Thyme' (Album)
  • Paul McCartney, 'Jenny Wren' (Chaos and Creation in the Backyard)
  • Los Lobos - 'Will the Wolf Survive?' (How Will the Wolf Survive?)
  • Summer Fiction - 'She's Bound To Get Hurt' (Summer Fiction)
  • Charlie Rich - 'The Most Beautiful' (Behind Closed Doors)

Wilson Kick-It

Whilst I'm in a footie frame of mind, I really do have to mention the excellent Kerrydale Street. It has to be the best Glasgow Celtic website out there.

Impress your hipster neighbours with tales of when Gil Scott-Heron's dad played for Celtic. Drop casually into conversation that Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley was once spotted at a Celtic/Rangers game at the Celtic end, and never again stay awake at night wondering what the final score was between Third Lanark and Celtic way back in January 1924 (3-1 away win for Celtic, FYI).

It also has an excellent info guide of Celtic players past and present - though I was surprised that the entry on Charlie Nicholas was so scant - and there are some canny pics on the site that I've never seen before.
