I got a bunch of old albums that used to belong to my mom and my dad. They're all banged up. This is my blog about organizing them and trying to restore them. That's what I intended it to be at first anyway. Turns out this stuff is so old and so tied to my memories about my family that it's turning into a blog about them too. Sometimes I try to be funny. Maybe a lot of the time? I should probably rewrite this description. Probably won't though.

Elvis Costello - My Aim Is true
This is my favorite Elvis Costello album. All my favorite songs of his are on it. It was in pretty great shape, cleaned up nicely (not that it really needed it), and plays great. When the first track, my very favorite Elvis Costello song, "Welcome to the Working Week" came on, James started shaking his butt and dancing like crazy. It was cute as hell and made me really happy to see.

George Thoroughgood - Move it on Over
The first three songs on here are classics. The next seven, I have no idea. I can't wait to try this one out.

The Police - Outlandos d'Amour
KA-mothercuking-BOOM! Ladies and gentleman, we have hit pay dirt. If the Police albums are the only ones I can get to play, this will have all been worth it. I don't give a god damn what anybody says. I don't care about the ridiculous pretentious pseudo-French album title. I don't care about how goddam awful Sting went and got when he didn't have Stewart Copeland around to talk him down off his ego. That was years after this. Outlandos d'Amour came out when I was three, when everything was still awesome and things had not yet started to suck. This is one of the best fucking albums of all time. Every single song on it is incredible, even the love song to an inflatable love doll.
Maybe not that one.
MAYBE.

Al Stewart - Time Passages
I dunno. I kinda remember the title track. I kinda remember it kinda sucking. That's all I got on this one. I should probably go to bed now but I took 233 pictures of LPs today, I've only posted about 50 of them, and I have three more crates to go through. So far every one I've looked at has been pretty fucking scratched. I sure as fuck hope some of them play. I guess if worse comes to worse I can frame them and hang them on the wall. The cover artwork on a lot of them is really incredible. Even this steaming pile of crap has an interesting looking cover.
Leon Redbone - Champagne Charlie
Totally different guy named Leon with a strange voice. I think I remember liking this one too. All I really remember is he has a deep distinctive voice, and it sounds old fashioned. It sounded old fashioned 30 freaking years ago.
