Agreed, Gary. Friggin fabulous stuff!
In fact, all of the Jiffipop/Cloud Eleven releases are never very far away
from the player here, and no matter what else circulates through, they
always stay in the pile that goes from the house to the car and back again.
"Desert Island" picks- one and all.
RE "Rocket Chair"...I only understand one lyric here....and it describes
multiple years of my life w/ my friends in high school/college. "we're all
cruising around/music up loud/gettin' stoned". Like "Inebria" (probably my
fav "Rick" tune), truthful tunes about partying make the A+ grade here. I
don't know Rick at all...but yet...I have no doubt whatsoever that we've
ridden in the same car at some point in time.
(like maybe yesterday? LOL)
And yeah...there's definitely some "borrowed" AM pop sounds circulated
throughout the mixes. For me...this just sets the entire package off...and
the first time I heard the Zombies rip in 'Dreamland" and the America rip in
"Liberty Run" all I could do was smile from ear to ear and let out a
chuckle...
Additiionally....everytime I see a TV commercial advertising Tourism in
California, I think about how tailor-made the song "Hey California" would be
for this type of ad campaign. (so much so that I've often thought about
sending them a copy of the disc to see if anything might happen) Great
imagery, for sure.
Let's hope there's more to come in the future... (and if you don't have
these releases...you certainly should)
