Blog and Download of the Week


Past Tense is a very cool blog that has lotsa classic rock downloads from Rapidshare.This week they have stuff from the Golden Earrings, Lovin Spoonful, the Move , Joe Cocker , and one I have been looking for for years: The Idle Race "Birthday Party" LP with Jeff Lynne of the Move, ELO, and the Traveling Wilburys. If you like early Beatlish Brit-pop with a touch of psychedelia this is for you.

I'm of a mixed mind about this site. A lot of what's posted is commercially available (What's Shakin', Gift From A Flower To A Garden, The Monkees), and arguments about whether the artists see their proper royalties or not, that's sketchy enough that they could be legally sued and shut down.

Which would be a shame, because there are a lot of gems here that should be more widely available but are not on CD. Personally, I've been looking for a proper release of Shazam! for many years.

And by the way, I've had the Idle Race record all this time... all ya hadda do was ask!
