After their stellar English Weather compilation from last year, the lads have done it again with State Of The Union: The American Dream In Crisis 1967-73.
Having listened to some of the tracks available on Spotify (10 of them aren’t) it’s going on the Christmas list.
Early ’60s Pop Wimpiness personified.

This cropped up on a random play earlier. A big international hit in 1962, apparently. Quite a nice tune, but blimey those lyrics and the sickly singing style. Pass me the sick-bucket. The poor sad soft bugger will not be seeing his teen sweetheart for a whole summer of unalloyed misery. Woe is him.
“Yes, it’s going to be a long lonely summer, but darling I promise you this. I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter. And seal it with a kiss.”
In early-’60s suburban white America you could get away with such drippiness. In Doncaster or Huddersfield I feel expressing such utter wetness would have been seen as good reason to get yourself a kicking.

A gem.
Always has been, always will be.
Been away for a few weeks, did I miss anything?

Just had the most incredible holiday in the States. (Flights were booked way before the current madness took hold so we couldn’t back out). Places visited included LA, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Big Sur, Monterey for whale watching, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon and an amazing canoe trip on the Colorado River.
But enough of the boasting. I’m still a little jetlagged and, much as I would like, I don’t have the brainpower to go back through loads and loads of threads.
So can anyone sum up the last three weeks on here in a charming, descriptive and yet succinct manner please? Thank you xx
