... And by the way, you'll never convince me that Track 13 wasn't consciously imitative of Fleetwood Mac's 1979 "Tusk."

01. Run Away Child, Running Wild - The Temptations (4:36)  1969

04. I Can't Stand the Rain - Ann Peebles (2:32)  1974

05. Devil Gate Drive - Suzi Quatro (3:46)  1974

06. Showstopper - Triumvirat (3:39)  1975

07. Mr Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra (5:07)  1977

08. Zero Hour - The Plimsouls (2:31)  1980

09. Chart Buster - De Cylinders (2:20)  1980

14. My Baby's the Star of a Driver's Ed Movie - Blotto (3:34)  1983

15. All Around the World - Robert Palmer (2:18)  1985

16. The Goonies 'R' Good Enough - Cyndi Lauper (3:39)  1985

17. Weird Science (album version) - Oingo Boingo (6:06)  1985

18. Big Trouble in Little China (original version) - The Coupe De Villes (3:02)  1986

19. Punk Rock Girl - The Dead Milkmen (2:42)  1988

20. Witch in a Ditch - Erasure (3:42)  1988

21. Night Ride Home - Joni Mitchell (3:21)  1991

I love hearing the last track as a sort of calming sign-off after the earlier madness.  Joni Mitchell's simple reflection is pretty different from many of her earlier intricate lyrical constructions, but simplicity is fine, on a ride home with the one you love.

Hope you find something to charm you in this mish-mash.  If so, leave a note!

See you on Monday!

Welcome Back to the Fortress of Markitude! – #7

This time we’ll start on the long shelf above the two doors to the Comics Closet.  Crafted from 2 1-x-6s, it’s a total of twelve feet long.  Starting on the left … The first item is a Super Slurpee cup for Superman IV, dated 1987. Next is a Belly Washer (empty) from 2001. Then, a series of Pepsi glasses from Superman The Movie, all dated 1978.

The Aladdin thermos came with a lunchbox.  To its right is an insulated tumbler from the 1978 movie.  The bottom of the tumbler says “Dawn - Passaic NJ.”

The thing that looks like a globe is a giant mug.  The Earth is the bowl of the mug, and a swooping Superman is the handle. Well, we’ve made it through about a quarter of the things on the shelf.  That’s all the investigation for this week.  See you Thursday, for a next music compilation!
