  • Deeper Shade of Soul - Urban Dance Squad

    Posted on Saturday November 21st, 2009 at 09:06 in 80s music

    I still have the cassette single of Deeper Shade of Soul that I bought a couple of decades ago and I still know all of the words. I listened to the song a few times while deciding if it should be the Not-Pop song of the day, and I still think it's o...

  • Maxwell\'s Silver Hammer - The Beatles

    Posted on Friday November 20th, 2009 at 17:02 in Rock

    Sticking with the theme of not-pop songs from very popular bands, I've found that an astounding number of people, astounding to me at least, are unfamiliar with this absolute gem from the "Abbey Road" album. Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a must for the...

    Some of you may be well-rested and having a perfectly lovely day. This song is not for you, although you're obviously more than welcome to enjoy it. This one is for those of you who were up until 2:30 playing a video game and are having a perfectly...

    Another day, another template. I decided that the one I had yesterday was too fussy and simply wouldn't line up the way I wanted it. This bright, shiny new one is almost the "good one" to the evil twin I used to have. At any rate, obviously I've n...

  • Lighten Up, Morrissey - Sparks

    Posted on Saturday November 14th, 2009 at 15:13 in Rock, misc.

    As you can see, I've squandered my posting time by selecting a shiny new template for The NPJ. I loved the old one but it was awfully dark. Please excuse the colors on the older posts, as they were designed to blend with the old design. I'll see i...

I wish I'd visited yesterday before we went out for the day. I'd been singing 'Saturday in the park' and was shushed. Your log makes me want to sing it all over again and proudly.
