Oh hi! It's me, Your Old Pal Will joining you for season 4, episode 36 of Vinyl-O-Matic in which we continue our journey through singles beginning with the letter L. A single from Santa Rosa area project Paleophone.

Indeed like Lou Barlow too, I hated high school. That was Sebadoh bringing us their rendition of "Limelight" by Rush, along with a b-side of dialogue featuring Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys waxing poetic about Neil Peart's YYZ drum solo. This is an excelent picture disc from Joyful Noise Records from 2015. That was preceded by Paleophone's "Like Stars" and the flipside "All I Ever", a tune which features a reference to a band that I am quite familiar with. Next up, a Neil Diamond number.

Welcome back to Vinyl-O-Matic. I am Your Old Pal Will. If you cast your minds back, you will recall that we started off that set with The Monkees and "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" penned by Neil Diamond from 1967 on Colgems. The b-side is one of my favorite Michael Nesmith songs "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" sung by Mickey Dolenz. Loyal listeners will know that I am quite fond of reading musical autobiographies. If you are into that sort of things as well, I can definitely recommend Michael Nesmith's "Infinite Tuesday". We also heard another single from 1967 that reached all the way to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. I am talking about The Music Explosion and their classic "Little Bit O' Soul" on Laurie Records, along with the b-side of "I See the Light".

Next up a catchy little number from Palace Music.

Once more, another Nuggets classic. We just heard "Little Girl" by Syndicate of Sound from 1966 on Bell Records, along with the b-side "You". We preceded that with Palace Music's "Little Blue Eyes" from 1996 on Drag City Records (DC91 for those of you playing along at home). The b-side is entitled "The Spider's Dude Is Often There". Up next, it seemingly wouldn't be an episode of Vinyl-O-Matic recently without playing a promo single or two so here's a New Wave-esque release from Pete Townshend circa 1980.


Ah yes, that was Fleetwood Mac performing their 1987 hit "Little Lies". A promo single that we are skipping the b-side of because both sides are the same stereo version. Interestingly the 12" version of this Christine McVie single contains a Jelly Bean Benitez remix, as was the fashion at the time. And we kicked that set off with a single from Pete Townshend's 1980 album Empty Glass "A Little Is Enough", both the stereo a-side and the mono b-side. Evidently ATCO didn't trust dj's to read the label to sort out which side was which, so the stereo side is blue and the mono side is plain boring white.
That about wraps it up for us on journey through 45s and other revolutions.
