Sir Sly isn’t a household name. I honestly don’t know if I ran across them from radio station WXPN or some other way. But “&Run” is an earworm, and the vocals are absorbing.
Dizzy is at the top of bubblegum pop created at the time, by Tommy Roe.
If you don’t know where or how Power to Believe fits into Thanksgiving, you go look it up and share it with family in a week.

In the years since 1977 I have grown to be a fan of Rush, have several albums (including 2112) by them, and this song is probably my favorite of theirs.
If anyone asks me my favorite Pretenders song, “Waste Not Want Not” is probably going to be it.

Neko Case’s “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood” could be my favorite album of 2006. It brings back memories of working out with weights at the YMCA, and of vacationing with family in Montana. It’s an album that I had on heavy rotation for my personal listening for a long time.
