What To Do During The Lockdown?
After going through a nostalgia filled
exercise to sort-out/clear up the mess caused by the spread of football
programmes in the garage and spare room ( and writing about the
experience elsewhere in the blog ), it’s time now for the next exercise to
keep me busy during the lockdown………….
I have a pile of somewhere between 250 to 300 LPs from the 70s & 80s laying in the Study. However, I’ve not had a working turntable for something like 15 years so it is ages since I played any of these records, or maybe 40+ years for some of them. Indeed, it may not even be possible to play some of them now as I’m not sure what condition the records are in.
The big idea is to play every one of these LP’s in their entirety from YouTube ( assuming there are all on YouTube ! ). As the LPs are already in alphabetical order it will take a long time until I get to ZZ Top, probably enough time to grow a suitable beard in tribute ! There is also a risk I might stop at The Cure and keep playing those albums over and over………
The A’s and early B’s are potentially quite a promising start ( Adam & The Ants, A-Ha, The Alarm, B-52s, The Bangles and The Beautiful South, offset only by AC-DC and Jon Anderson ). It looks like most of the dross comes later in the alphabet.
However, it will all begin with ABC’s “The Lexicon of Love”.
