my love of fleetwood mac is well documented. i've been known to claim that i actually want to be stevie nicks. (she's right up there with debbie harry on my list of wicked-hot-female-rock-icons-i-grew-up-with.) not so much the whole coke-addled messed up bit. more the whole creating beautiful songs thing. i dare you to listen to 'gypsy' and not kind of want to be her a little as well.
this album is just shamelessly full of classics - the late great pub anthems from 1977's "rumours" ('don't stop', 'go your own way', 'you make loving fun'), 'rhiannon' from 1976's self-titled album, and 'little lies', 'seven wonders' and 'everywhere' from 1987's "tango in the night" - a close contender after "rumours" for their best album, in my opinion.... maybe i'm just an irrepresible 80s kid though.
it was, in fact, a monday morning when i listened to this album. along with 'gypsy', 'monday morning' is my favourite track on this album. i couldn't find a decent video, but this appears to be a live recording (apparently from '77) overlaid with various live images.
somewhat obviously, i haven't been updating much recently. this can be put down to general laziness more than anything. but i am pleased to admit that i found myself fighting the urge to use capitals when writing this entry. i've also found that my forced experiment has worked, and i'm definitely exploring the ol' ipod much more than i was when i started. so i think that's a sign it's time to move away from structure, and just write about what i want, when i want.
to my one, dear reader: i will persist to the end of the alphabet. this probably brings you no joy at all.
