May 14, 2010 — Ahhh yes!!! The beach! The Daily Vinyl braves the wind blowing sand all around like crazy to present The Daily Vinyl music video #41 – “The Beach Boys Medley”. This medley, to my knowledge, is not available of CD or download anywhere!

In order, the songs of the medley include:
“Good Vibrations”
“Help Me, Rhonda”
“I Get Around”
“Shut Down”
“Surfin’ Safari”
“Barbara Ann”
“Surfin’ USA”
“Fun, Fun, Fun”

The first three songs in the medley represent, in reverse chronological order, the group’s three #1 hits from the 60′s. 4 of the other 5 songs reached at least the Top 5 (the exception being “Surfin’ Safari.”)

The medley reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981, becoming the band’s highest charting hit in the U.S. in over five years. And I love playing this song when I’m DJ’ing pool parties. But ya gotta have the 45!

BTW, this was filmed at the beach in Destin, Florida on Spring Break.

30 songs for $11. Great deal. Classics too! (and some of my favorite tunes that most people don’t know, like “Heroes & Villains,” “Do It Again,” “Wild Honey” – awesome tracks!)

April 28, 2010 — The third installment of highlights from “The Beatles” (aka “The White Album”), featuring “Mother Nature’s Son” / “Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey” / “Sexy Sadie”. Big BIG thanks to the East Nashville art group, The Collective Muse. They completely brainstormed this idea. It took us several meetings to nail down the pre-planning … and then we threw it all out the window and just ran with it in the moment.

March 08, 2010 — The Daily Vinyl video #39: “The Show Must Go On” by Three Dog Night

“The Dude’s” 2 little girls were in a Circus Acrobatics class at Studio 1406 in East Nashville. The music playing every week kept reminding me of this song. So, thank goodness I held on to this 45 since 1974. (Used to be my big brothers, whom I must thank/blame for their musical influence.) The video concludes with their receital.

I hope you enjoy. Feel free to rate, comment & subscribe.

(21 songs for under $12. Pretty good deal. Cheaper than downloading one-at-a-time!)
