BURN BABYLON

Great tune. Had been a long time since I turned it on, and reminded me that I hadn't dug through a lot of my records in a while.

One thing about moving cross country that's hard to ever forget is how desperate you become wanting to hear certain records that you know you own. I left a lot of records back in California and about every other day there's something I would kill to listen to that ends up being one of the discarded discs gathering dust inside a closet on the floor in my parents' house.

Homely Girl

This song always makes me laugh.

"It must have broke your poor little heart,
when the boys would say,
'she looks better in the dark.'"

Simply Incredible.

I've rediscovered a Jamaican legend.

Pat Kelly has a voice simply saturated with soul, at once vulnerable and penetrating. He's arguably one of the greatest rocksteady singers to have ever emerged, and in my opinion, sadly underappreciated. Below find three of his best.

I'm Coming Home...

Home for the holidays on Thursday. San Diego, I miss you. I've been listening to this tune everyday for the past week, and it's perfect. Pat Kelly-"I'm Coming Home," a Trojan Records single from 1970.

Probably my single favorite song right now:



Enjoy.
