I'd forgotten just how good this track is. 'Roadrunner' by The Modern Lovers. Great rhythms and fab keyboards just drive it along. The Velvets influence is all over it. #punk #music #ModernLovers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy88-5pc7c8

The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers
This is the 1986 Rhino reissue with an alternate cover and 3 bonus tracks not included on the original release.
Fun Fact: two of the original members of The Modern Lovers, Keyboardist, Jerry Harrison and Drummer, David Robison would both go on to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for their work in subsequent bands The Talking Heads and The Cars respectively. #Vinyl #RecordCollection #ModernLovers #JonathanRichman #NowSpinning

This implies a larger class of girls that he doesn't care what vile acts a group of men would commit, he'd be like "Gotta go play my guitar, later!" Haha the romantic prepunk poet everyone! #ModernLovers #musings

Great Albums - 1970s: #ModernLovers – S/T (1976). Assembled in 1976 from tracks recorded in 1973, the sole Modern Lovers LP was the missing link between the seminal gutter rock of the Velvets and Stooges and first-generation punk out of CBGBs. John Cale’s production couldn’t preclude Richman’s eccentricities sabotaging the thing. Still, “Roadrunner,” “Pablo Picasso,” “She Cracked,” and “I’m Straight” are the recipe for Boston alt rock, like The Pixies.

It reminded me I had some bottles still to try like this one from @blackbirchwines in North Hatfield. So I went to the basement wine racks (sounds less pretentious than wine cellar) and grabbed this Merlot. It was pretty good on opening but with some airtime, came together nicely and was even better on Day 2, still with lively fruit, nice acidity and soft tannins. Served with grilled lamb chops and roasted fennel and potatoes. As Jonathan Richman sang from my radio, about a different type of airtime, "I'm in love with Massachusetts, I'm in love with the radio on."

Look, I know that I promised to stop, but honestly, how could I forget:
🎶 Abdul's not seen Cleopatra
It's been almost now a year
How I wonder where she's at-ra
And I wish the old girl were here
Abdul yearns for Cleopatra in the early morning sun
Abdul loves Cleopatra, she's still the one🎶

“With the radio on at night
And me in love with modern moonlight
Me in love with modern rock & roll…”

Today's records:
Modern Lovers (Jonathan Richman) *Modern Lovers* released in 1976.
Modern Lovers included future members of Talking Heads & The Cars. Richman was enamored with Velvet Underground. His cult status developed after his band dissolved & their records were released a few years later. He's played acoustic in recent decades.
