i hit the jackpot at tower last night. new mates of state album AND i discovered that they carry a crapload of re-released dean martin albums. which probably means nothing to most people, but to me it means everything. i love old music, but the trouble with old music is that so much of it doesn't get put on cd and so i'm stuck with greatest hits albums. NO THANKS. i want original albums with original art, thank you very much. like lloyd price. do you know how hard it is find his stuff in a store...i mean other than the greatest hits one? you'd think that record stores would be paying a little more respect to the guy wrote both stagger lee and lawdy miss claudy. AND YES I SAID WROTE. can i get a fuck yeah?
anyway, so i'm stoked to own a real dean martin album besides the fine piece of vinyl hanging on the wall. and the new mates of state album is....by all means it's a good album and i'm stoked on it. it is, at least to me, a big departure for them. my little mates of state are growing up! and the album seems to have this sad streak through it. but i love it. and i can't wait to see them. they're such a great band to see live. and at the great american! one of my favorite bands, at one of my favorite places to see a show, with the ha-ra and the old chelsea right there. it's gonna be an awesome night.
