What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Akron Ohio's contribution to music, along with Devo.Always want these bands to succeed as I still had Ohio roots at this point in my life. They've pretty much rotted away at this point in my life. No doubt the Pretenders are the better of the two groups. This is their second album. I don't think it is as good as their debut. But it is a good album. Two standouts for me of Pack It Up and Jealous Dogs. Two flops to go along with those of The English Roses and Louie Louie (not that one). Wasn't crazy about Chrissie's take on the Kinks I Go To Sleep, but it'll pass. Chrissie was in the middle of a relationship with Ray Davies. After this album the band took a break following the death of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott. They would emerge with a new lineup and a more commercial oriented band on the next release. The album reached #10 on the U.S. charts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Louie Louie

Best Track - Pack It Up

You guys are the pits of the world!

Oh, this is no place for me
Burnin' down the interbelt, from jacuzzi to jacuzzi
It's all right for you man
Gettin' smashed, gettin' suntanned
But i know my place
Where's my suitcase?

Pack it up or throw it away
What i can't carry, bury
Oh you remember me, i remember you
But that was a long, long time ago
When i was passin' through

All my family, all my friends, my lover
I got to find them
My enemies, my new family, my new friends
My future enemies, i got to flush them out

Pack it all up, nothing goes in storage
I'm burnin' every bridge
Burn, baby, burn
I see your dog got shot
Well, hell, never mind
That's show biz, big boy
You've got to be cruel to be kind

Oh, give over and admit it
I've been tearing down the interstate
Like some kind of bleeding cat
It's all right for the boss
His gain's my loss
That gets me down, it really gets me down

So pack it up and cut the crap
When the clock starts talkin', i start walkin'
When you pass in your porsche
Please don't offer me a ride
I may be a skunk
But you're a piece of junk, and furthermore
I don't like your trousers
Your appalling taste in women
And what about your mind
Your insipid record collection
That dumb home video center
The usual pronography
And all you scumbags around the world
You're the pits of the world!
