vinylcast #21: The Cars’s Candy-O

@brlamb In case you are asleep when I do my #vinylcast it is dedicated to your for washing the hippies and the thought leaders right of your hair: The Cars Candy-O which will lead to a story about you more than a decade ago on the #ds106radio #4life

Day 29 of #lockdown and this album popped into mind based on an 2009 Twitter storm by Brian Lamb talking about using this vinyl to wash away the bad hippie experience he had had. Struck me as a fun story and a good inspiration for a #vinylcast, so that was that.

I love this album, in part because it was the non-stop soundtrack while I was doing work on the first house we bought in Fredericksburg, VA, a listening inspired by Brian’s tweeting, and whenever I listen I think about that old 1930s house where Tommaso was born and the other two grew up in for quite a few years. In was a good house, and this is a good album.
