Recent VCLT (All The World’s A Stage, The Digital Gramophone, Beer & Vinyl)  

Very kind of Steve! Enjoy the cool stuff, he’s a very generous man. Cheers ❤😊🍻

Steve, always one to advertise himself haha. Nice goodies!

Hi Emma! Welcome to the “All The Worlds A Stage,” Coaster Club! Congrats on the VCLT 🤙🏻

Hi Emma !! I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you, for taking time, to make them. Have you heard of the band, The Shazam ? They are considered, a power pop band. Give the record, The Shazam ‘Meteor’, a listen. Take Care. 🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁

Cool Big Star from Alex!! 😊🙏

🙌🏻 Touched by the Stuff is a weird album title. 😂 Stream their first album before you order it online. It’s good, but very raw. Doesn’t have the same immediate hooks. Some fine VCLT showings here. I’ve heard of Artful Dodger but never listened. I bet that Big Star live recording is great. I’ll probably be posting some more power pop (and adjacent) records over the next weeks. I am still on that kick. I guess it’s a summer thing. Cheers, Emma!

Looks like some awesome VCLT you got there Emma! Really intrigued by that Big Star record. When I think of Cheap Trick and the Metro I obviously think of Music For Hangovers and those series of shows where they played some of the early albums in their entirety. I would have LOVED to have been there for any of the shows with the first three albums. Happy spinning!

Hi Emma - I was under the impression that The Digital Gramophone ( Jon ) made no sense but I will check out The Motorists. The unofficial Big Star is awesome 👌. That was a great tour & Alex was healthy & happy & of course the inclusion of I Am The Cosmos was an unexpected treat. Alex was on the B-Side You & Your Sister. Take Care !

Wasn’t familiar with any of these, thanks for sharing new things to check out!

Love the first 2 Artful Dodger albums. Both overlooked and underrated.

Love all the VCLT Emma, some great power pop I need to check out. Why do these videos cost me money 😂😂😂😂

Great video Emma! Nice vclt load! Love the shirt!🤘🏻😎

You're welcome Emma! I figured you would like them, hopefully you can find the other two. And yes, many consider 'Babes' to be their best. I'm always torn as to which one id my fav, but I know I consider 'Honor Among Thieves' to be their weakest. Cheers!

I used to have Artful Dodger's HONOR AMONG THIEVES (second album I think) a long long time ago but it disappeared from my collection with the shifting sands of time. I remember it rocked pretty hard and I'd love to find it again.

Oh boy...

What is it about the Metro that's so great, anyway? It's my fave venue, too, but I can't say exactly why. It's, like, *perfectly* sized, with *just* the right number of steps going up & an *excellent* blend of vintage glamor & punky decay... or *something.* Any further input on the matter?
