One cool thing about being my age is I can put together a yacht rock compilation from personal memory of Top 40 radio. On my computer I have a huge YR playlist going back into the early 70's and I remember hearing every song when it was new.

I remember seeing the tall ships on TV. I also remember the introduction of those bicentennial quarters with the drummer guy. Damn it was neat to get one in change.

She is a wonderful pair of breasts attached to a mediocre human being.

I served in the United States Army DURING the Cold War.

Yes, actual ownership of a VCR was a status symbol. If you had a friend who owned one you'd constantly be finding excuses to visit his house.

The realization that people who were born while Nirvana's Nevermind was climbing the charts are now old enough to vote.

Gah I'm old. I won't name a birth year, because I like to maintain just a little bit of mystery, but I will say I owned a vinyl copy of "Saturday Night Fever" and played the shit out of it. This was while the songs were still on the radio. I saw the first Star Wars movie 8 times in the theatre, and I ain't talking…

I like the idea of an updated "Tapestry" much more than a take on King's work with 60's girl groups.

Magic is a great song
I still haven't seen the movie, but I'm old enough to have heard and been enchanted by "Magic" when it was a chart-busting hit single. It was inescapable. I still love it. You rowdy kids can keep your Leo Sayer and your Joey Scarbury. Give me Olivia!

Maybe she's on the leading edge of the hipster back-backlash - in which hipsters say "I'm a hipster and I'm proud to call myself one." Of course that pride will soon become ironic pride, which is really anti-pride, which is really another form of elitism, which is really also pride, though it be pride wrapped in a…

The review is too fucking vague
Okay, so they try to sound like early 70's pop. There was a hell of a lot of pop back then. You have to be more specific. Are they like the Carpenters? Bread? Bee Gees? Seals and Croft? Carole King?

True, you do get the sense that she feels entitled to get away with shit because she's a cute girlie girl. Steve Perry is an old white male, so in Silverman's eyes he's not allowed to do the stuff she does. Somebody should kidnap Silverman and surgically attach a penis onto her. Suddenly her standup routine…

What's volume 2?
A tribute to Air Supply?

Haven't we dodged the real issue?
Namely — the quality of her negro humor. Just how good is it? Is it really the best? If not, these whose negro humor is superior?

Kalgon, take me away!

Don't be dissin' Reb Brown. He played the lead in "Yor: Hunter From the Future", bitch. Hands down the best shitty barbarian movie of the early 80's. Makes "Ator the Fighting Eagle" look like a pile of puke.

Big Country - The Crossing
This is somewhat of a continuation of the Lillywhite thread, but some of the deep cuts on this record are amazing. "Chance", "Close Action", and "1000 Stars" were my faves in high school and they never got any play on the radio.
