Get Into Something- The Isley Brothers
This was my SOTD on Saturday, 1/5. My John Sally Ride bandmate and pal, Sal Maida opened up his Spin Cycle radio show with it the next morning. Great minds think alike, and so did we.
Heaven & Hell- The Easybeats
And speaking of both Sal Maida and the JSR, this track came up a number of times during rehearsals and recording of our newest record. Maida thinks it is The Easybeats masterpiece and I agree. Amazing record-making.
Determination- Todd Rundgren
Felt like hearing this one, from the always accessible "The Hermit Of Mink Hollow."
Days- The Kinks
And speaking of The John Sally Ride, John Dunbar was interviewed for the Sweet Sweet Music blog and was asked if there was a song he wished he had written. This was his choice, and of course, I felt like hearing it.
Old Castles- Paul Weller
And speaking of Sal Maida's excellent radio show, Spin Cycle, he played this track off of the latest Paul Weller and it was the first time I heard anything from "True Meanings." I dug it.
Sunshine Girl- The Parade
Maida also played this pop gem in the same set.
Forget About You- The Motors
When I get older, I want to write a pop song as good as this...even if it is Build Me Up Buttercup...sideways, sorta.

Thank you, Sal. Your comments sold me on this collection.
Excellent mix and a wide variety too. I will combine with "off the shelves" for my drive to Santa Barbara this week.
Thanks for zipping up the SOTW. You're spoiling us (well, me anyway) as we've just had a Bram Tchaikovsky track and now one from his former outfit The Motors, a couple of little belters. Cheers!
