Finally


Sorry Lurker. Am I forgetful or is it just Fucking Terrible Procrastination?

Without a doubt, this album is one solid chunk of seventies power-pop goodness, start to finish. After an amazing initial run - primarily on the strength of "My Sharona" - The Knack was ultimately brought to its knees by ego, cocaine and ridiculously bad management.

Man, those are the same problems this blog has. Hope we can fare better. That album really stands up. The guitar solo on 'My Sharona' is from another plnaet.

I'm really looking forward to hearing this one, thanks! I have a few Xmas gifts to share, stay tuned.

But I've heard it only takes a couple of beers and a fiver to bring Dave to his knees, Joe. BWA! (Just picking on Dave because he has disappeared for the holidays.)

Patiently staying tuned, Lurker.

Strong, very good stuff! They could've had several more hits from this, I think.
