- The early morning show keeps getting earlier so i can get to work on time. Pretty soon it will be the New Midnight Special Show! Great mix of brand new music and then a dive into the 80s and 70s. Surpise ending on the final album, time to questions my own sanity once again.

The lead in was absolutely beautiful. Steve, I spun the Mighty Lemon Drops album last week. How random. I heard a bit of Peter Bucks Rickenbacker in there as well. Have a great week.
That is too funny Mark, spinning the Lemondrops. Our minds are tied to each other my friend. I figured you would enjoy the train footage. It was enjoyable and not crowded
Good morning Steve. Just checking in to see what you picked up recently. Or as they say. Checking out your new grabs. I will have to check back in later on. I will not have enough time to sit through the half hour. Talk to you later on. The Third Sound tizz new to me. I am going to give them a whirl in my car before food shopping at Roche Bros. Have a super day. Is it sunny there? Have to admit. The springs in Boston {as you know} are usually more summery hot than springish. But this year we have been blessed with some really nice weather. Hope you guys are getting the same~
Rob/Boston
Rob, what, my video is tooooooo long, me, looooooong video. I’m shocked lol. At least I’m consistent my friend. If you didn’t hear the sample of King Buffalo give them a listen Rob, they were by far the most favorite of the samples. It’s starting to get hot here also so the pool business is booming. I am staying very busy trying to keep it organized.
Good morning Steve!
Watching your video and the deer walking through my backyard. Cool King Buffalo album 🔥 Back in the late eighties I had the Mighty Lemon Drops World Without End album on cd I must not have liked it much since it’s gone 😂 I just recently streamed some of their albums and really enjoyed them
Take care Brian ☮️
Brian, it’s funny how music can change as we get older. So much music I use to not really enjoy I now find to be very enjoyable with the exception of Marie Osmond. I do miss all the deer We use to have so many everyday that make their rounds through our yard. Now I don’t even have a squirrel. King Buffalo, wow! Big Fan now
Morning Steve. Nice show. Love trains. Have a great week
Same here Art, they still excite me. That was a fun ride
Hello Steve; Good to have a day off & a solid relationship with the owner! The Third Sound, tunnel echo sound. Regenerator, less echo. Mighty Lemon Drops, new age pop. Sheer Mag, metal pop music. No need to question your sanity as there is no sanity clause in life! Take care, Tina & Pat!~
Haha thank god for the no sanity clause, whew! It was nice to get out of town and see something. The train ride was fun. Things are slowing down as my employees figure things out It’s been an experience
Hi Fuzzmaistro. Thanks for the shoutout. I love Fuzz club, I bought The Men, that record is awsome. Didn´t now you where a big Marie Osmond fan lol. Take care. Jimbo
lol Jimbo, still not a Marie fan ! Your welcome for the shout out my friend. Always a pleasure to help you out
I think the Zonkman is on to something with that King Buffalo. Know of them in name only so will be looking into some of their records. Always nice to see you Steve!
I was blown away by King Buffalo! I heard you can get their albums on their web site. It’s fun to get turned in to something new Dom. Just got in an album you recently talked about
Gidday Steve. Real good info and intro into some music I have never heard of. Thanks.
Hi Ken, I can get a little long winded on the info but hopefully you found something you enjoyed
Am I the only one whose stomach dropped while sitting on the comfort of my couch just watching that train on that bridge? Yikes. Thank you for introducing me to The Third Sound. I am definitely going to have to take a deeper dive with that band for sure. The first album I ever bought from a recommendation off of CZcams was one of yours. It was The Underground Youth, Mademoiselle. The Third Sound while not exactly of course, but sort of reminds me of them in a way. But I really really have to thank you for the introduction of King Buffalo. That album is now a must for me. Thank you Mr. Steve Carlson.
The deadly power of a music sample. I love samples and I have so many albums thanks to them. I am glad I have at least did not disappoint in my assessment. lol. King Buffalo, I am also a fan. You can get their albums at good prices on their web site. Lot of cool music out there.
great video love the train you always show some intresting stuff. so happy to hear you had some time your self.
It was good to get a little break. Lot of great scenery to share if I ever get out of the office. When it comes to music I try to find something a little different that really appeals to me and I hope someone else will feel the same excitement when they hear the sample
More than I ever wanted to know about Marie 😜. She aged well. Great gag Steve.
Yeah, I thought I should toss out some fun Marie fun facts Greg. I’ve never seen anyone show her music, maybe for a good reason. lol
Good afternoon Stever.... Must be some trout streams up in those mountains. When are you gonna do a fishing video with your grandson? It's time you introduced the little fella to Grampa and Grandkid pursuits. Fishing with you will be one he never forgets. Just ask anybody that fished with their Grandad or Father and they'll tell you to do it early and do it often... It's a very strong bond that develops Steve. Get to it kid.... Aww maybe he's a little young yet but it is never too early to start just about anything I figure...
I remember my dad taking my brother and I fishing once. I was barefoot and stepped on a fishing hook. My dad freaked out. We didn’t do a lot of fishing after that.
Lmao, now that is a great fishing story Richie
I took my kids fishing for two years, we went out quite a bit. After 2 years they never asked to go out again. Those stream are full of rainbow trout. When we took vacations to CO we would go fishing My favorite lake was a stocked pond, fish were really biting! lol. Some of them carps in your video are bigger than Aiden Bobby
Trains without too much crowds, and mysic on vinyl. A winner! Even though it is touristy, I want to experience steam in Colorado at some point. I need to check into King Buffalo more. I see the magic genre Krautrock mentioned on their Bandcamp page. Have a great week, Richard
Yeah King Buffalo says kraut rock but personally I’m not hearing it. That said it is excellent music. Totally enjoyable. I knew you would enjoy the trains. I did beat the crowds. I a couple weeks that train will be packed. It goes out 4 times a day I believe.
On another note I once rented a train for the day and had 14 miles of track which I used to get lots of sound recordings for a film I worked on starring Denzel Washington. Absolutely had a blast on it. And had full run of the train and every car. But I am grateful we never had to go on any crazy looking bridges like that one. Have a wonderful day my friend.
OMG, how cool renting a train for a day. I have loved trains since I was very little and I’m still a kid around them. I don’t mind heights so I didn’t have second thoughts. My wife hates bridges but she didn’t seem nervous. You had the ultimate train set for a day, that’s wild. Thanks for sharing that.
Only ever knew the name Mighty Lemon Drops.
That was the same with me Jeff so I tried that RSD album and loved it. I don’t need their whole catalog though.
Hey Steve! That RR footage at the beginning was awesome. I love those old "scenic" lines... wish there were more in MI. The Third Sound - I love the reverb in the clip. I'm definitely going to look into that band some more. That Sheer Mag cover looks pretty cool - I would have picked that up on sight! Love what I heard with the clip, and the singer (to me) sounds like a young, angry Belinda Carlisle lol. Enjoy the rest of your day!
That’s why I do the clip, what doesn’t appeal to one may appeal to another ! I have bought a lot of stuff due to sound samples but I have a lot of great music I never would have known about. Buying with our Ears Dave. I do love trains so that was a fun trip for sure
We enjoyed your sunday morning show as usally and now extra well hearing you talk Icelandic LOL Hakon Adalsteinsson (I skip the Icelandic letters in his name) is so easy to say :) See you in Iceland soon :)
I was thinking about you two when that name popped up lol. I think I could now pronounce it lol. I struggle with English! I will make it there someday, it is high on my list of places to see especially after your book!
Hi Steve! That King Buffalo sounds crazy good!! When RSD gives you lemons . . . make Mighty Lemon Drops! Love MLD! Huge crush 😻 on Marie when I was 10 years old. 😂 Debunking the VC theory “It’s the music stupid” Music is not the only reason we collect. But for the most part it’s the music. lol. Have a great week Steve!
King Buffalo blew me away. The whole album is great. It has been getting a lot of spins when I’m awake which is not often. Many had a crush on Marie but I wasn’t one of them. Charlie’s Angels did catch my interest though. Also the ladies of Heart!
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 I was crushing on nearly every hot female on a 70s tv show 😂
Nice finds Steve. Have the first few releases of Mighty Lemon Drops: were a bit lighter and poppier on those. Gotta give it up for Marie! 😎🎶🎤
Interesting life by Marie. Someone mentioned that the Osmonds father was very tight. After they would do a show or go on a TV program they would take all the food with them that had been laid out. Most people left it for the crew. He would even take the balloons lol. I may have to try one of the first Lemon Drop albums now.
@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 The Osmonds made out alright at the end of the day!
Glad to hear things are levelling out Steve, and you got to see some of that beautiful state with Patty. That Third Sound track does sound a little like the Jonestown Massacre. Must have seen him play with that band last fall. King Buffalo sounds great. I don’t recommend that Charlie horse alarm lock. Agony! Hope Patty finds something soon. Cheers.
Charlie Horse alarm clock does really suck But boy does it get your going Jack! King Buffalo was excellent from start to finish , I am now a big fan. It was fun to take a different road except the one to work lol. It’s a beautiful state
Marie Osmond singing about Louisiana Gumbo! Alright! At least it was recorded all analog! Hopefully that is an original pressing! Maybe if you put it up for sale on eBay or discogs, someone in the UK will pay big bucks for an original US pressing of that! Hopefully things will start to slow down for you a bit!
Hi Michael, the last few days have been very good, definitely settled down as we get into a groove. I hope it continues. Yes Marie is an OG lol. It is in beautiful condition, I just had to do it though I still hate her hit song. My wife of course likes it. I hope your doing well Michael and the studies have been going well
Georgetown is a cute little town that can be hell in winter time, but is beautiful in spring and fall (like most of Colorado)
We got there before all the tourist did which made it more enjoyable. If I could still downhill ski I would love the mountains but my back would not appreciate that anymore. So many great places to visit in the mountains, now to get some time to do it
Hi Steve - The Mighty Lemon 🍋 Drops 🍬 were good. The influence of Echo & The Bunnymen was noticeable. Press savaged them as emulators not creators. Hope The Tigers 🐅 come to Colorado this summer !
It would be fun to see the Tigers come to town and the Rockies are horrible so maybe they could win. I do need to get to a few games, tickets are no issue lol.
I need to see that Donny and Marie movie!
Lmao John, best of luck with Goin Coconuts. I remember when that came out and it got totally roasted by all the critics. Should have done Grease!
Hi Bill, Good to see another video from you. Many interesting pickups. I had to get Mirror Music as well, and it is a great album. The following two albums you showed I have to check into, and the Hutcherson album sound right up my alley. Glad you found something interesting in dollar bins. Like you, I have not spent much time on those in my local store. Take care, Richard
Richard, nice you could give me Bill’s comment lol. Hope you have been doing well and have not had a lot of those severe storms.
@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Sorry! Too much going on for my brain I guess. :-)
Hi Steve
Never really took much notice of The Mighty Lemon Drops at the time, although i certainly always liked Ian McCullough and Echo & The Bunnymen...
The key change in the needle drop was really nice.
It seems like most of the UK kind of ignored the Lemon Drops. I really liked their sound and maybe will have to try their debut album to hear a the Bunnymen influence
Only two dollars?!? What a grail! What a find! Probably the best two dollars you've ever spent lol. Years of enjoyment! But good on you for giving it a go, that's the fun part of all this insanity… revisiting some things and see if they speak to us. I guess sometimes they confirm what we already knew. Anyway, that was fun. Thanks. On a serious note though, King Buffalo sounds cool. Definitely want to check that out. Thanks for putting that on my radar. As for sheer mag, I remember digging their debut back when it came out. I appreciated its energy and commitment to the sound. Sounded a bit more Lofi than that record you played. Again, as always, thanks for sharing! Stay sane! May Colorado show you her good side and start to make things easier! Peace and much aloha, Brother!
Hi Tony, King Buffalo blew me away, I don’t often collect whole back catalogs but I’m pretty sold on this group. That album has had a lot of spins. My $2 grail, lol. So often I have revisited an album and I suddenly like it, you just never know. That never did work for Trout Mask Replica lol
Great reason to get and show an album 😄
Made a note of the Lemon Drops.
Did you know no Icelandic sirnames stay the same? They have kept the old norse tradition where you are named after your father with ‘son’ if your are a boy and ‘dottir’ if your are a girl. Björk was named after her father Guðmundur, so her name is Guðmundsdottir. We did that here in Norway, where the people of Iceland comes from, but it started dying out in the mid 1800’s. But the ‘sen’ is a remnant of that. Nilsen og Jensen, would have been Nils-son et. If we kept it up my sirname would have been Arvidsson. My sirname Aastad is from the farm or place (plass) my fathers mothers family comes from east of Oslo.
Thank you for showing the nice train Steve 😊
I knew about the son but not dottir. That was very interesting that Iceland still does that. What a nice tribute to your father. My grandfather who was from Sweden was named Arvid. My father was Robert. That was quite interesting Morten. Give the Lemon Drops a listen my friend
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Well, IF we did. I think it was my great great grandfather who took the sirname Aastad. His name was Andreas, which was also my grandfathers name and my middle name is Andreas 😊
Arvid is a nice name.
I’ll keep an eye out for it Steve
I have that Mighty Lemon Drops Laughter, on cd, and also a few of their earlier albums on vinyl. The first time I heard them on college radio, I thought it was Echo and the Bunnymen, they totally ripped their sound from them, but I did like their first two, Happy Head and World Without End, haven't heard Ricochet, but I liked the sample. Always enjoy your takes on the records you show, have a great week Steve.
I need to look at those first two Lemon Drop albums now, I wasn’t going to but a few of you have said they were pretty good. Some pretty good stuff this week. Always trying to find something new my friend
i had mighty lemon drops happy head lp many yrs ago.Worth pickibg up for a good price.
Chester, the price of the Lemon Drop album is under $10. Lot of good music at a good price still can be found
I ordered Swamp Dogg’s total destruction of your mind on Amazon after hearing his version of Jimmy cliff’s plastic world that is the opening theme for Rosanne Barr’s podcast.
Very funky and you might really dig it.
He was the Dee oh double gee long before snoop dogg. I looked up his story too and what a character that guy is.
I also ordered the new pressing of English Oceans by Drive By Truckers on vinyl because I love the painting on the cover.
I have the Osmond’s metal album Crazy Horses which is Awesome. My sister loved the tv show and had the dolls too. Have a groovy Sunday! Thanks for sharing and God Bless You and Patty and your growing family.
Do you have a heating pad for your back?
I use to have a couple of albums by Swamp Dogg. I believe one had him riding a rat lol. I love the DBT’s. I saw they reissued English Iceans but I didn’t jump at it since I had it already. What a great group. The Osmonds were everywhere in the 70s, good wholesome fun and safe for teenagers lol
I had to double check Marie's age at the time of that album, I would have thought she was in her 20's or something. Maybe she was already very mature as a veteran performer or maybe you have a harder time gauging ages as you get older but that surprised me. Gotta give the family props for bouncing back from bankruptcy by rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. That said I could not name a song any of them sang, I probably avoided them like cod liver oil at the time. Have a good week Steve
Doug, the big hit from Donnie was called Puppy Love. It made him a teen heart throb and made me want to puke. Marie looked older on that album cover but yeah only 13. It was a showbiz family.
I believe I picked up a few Lemon Drops albums back in the day. I know I had them on CD. They were a pretty good band, as I recall. Listening to Sheer Mag. Not what I thought it would be but pretty good.
I knew the Lemon Drops by name only. Everyone is saying the first two albums are quite good. I really don’t need to be a Lemon Drop completist though but if the price is right…. I’m glad you enjoyed Sheer Mag, that took a bit for me
Steve, taking the train to Clarksville! lol never heard of the Third Sound. Glad you dig the King Buffalo. Sheer Mag, I’m not turned off by the vocals. I’ll have to listen to some more. Marie Osmond definitely a fun lark. The music is a hoedown! Quick pick her up, we’ve got a Ho down! lol Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Steve, I think this video created a lot of King Buffalo fans with that sample. It has been getting a lot of spins, so darn good. Marie Osmond, great hoe down music but after that, well it was very wholesome lol
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 you are vinyl community royalty and an influencer. I am glad to get other folks into King Buffalo. Sell out the website. Those more expensive albums that you see on discogs are just early pressings and whatever early color variant. Their website or band camp should have a current version available for almost all albums. Rock on 🤘
Hi Steve, Very nice intro. I'll subscribe to Jim's channel in a minute. I wonder how many teenagers cut out the coupon on the back of Marie's album? You might have a rarity there! Have a good week, take care and thanks for keeping these videos going.
Ralph it was fun to see that I formation on the back of the album. Age 13, pretty incredible but wow I hate that song lol.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Jim already replied with a thank you!
Ooh, I want to go on that steam train! Though the viaduct looks a bit rickety. You can't be too careful with pool cleanliness with youngsters. Have you come across a decent pool maintenance company in the Denver area? 😄The Third Sound sounds really interesting. I will have to check them out. King Buffalo sounds really good, too. I love that wah-wah guitar. Marie Osmond. Blimey that's a throw back.
Andy, luckily when it comes to pool maintenance I work for the one my son bought. Actually my grandson was at a public pool We only clean commercial pools and it has been crazy but it is slowing down. King Buffalo was incredible, there are a lot of new fans of that group Marie was a fun twist to the video lol.
Steve, I was joking about the pool maintenance. Just a tongue-in-cheek recognition of you spending 7 days a week running it!
Hamtramck says come back soon Steve.
I really miss Detroit Martin, that is such an awesome city and easier to get around than Denver. Traffic here is stupid crazy.
I have a couple Mighty Lemon Drops records - the first two, I think. The comparison to Echo and the Bunnymen is spot-on. I really like those records. King Buffalo rules, along with the Zonkman. Great record. Marie Osmond singing Zydeco? I understand she has a hip-hop album coming out next week - evidently she and Cardi B. have hooked up. (jk) Thanks for showing the records Steve!
lol, Marie and Cardi B, I hope that does not hurt her image! King Buffalo was awesome Randy, I am now an official fan, the Zonkman converted a lot of people in one video, that was by far the popular needle drop
Most perfect solityde sound like really Finnish thing, I mean band name. ;) I thought I know that Paper roses song from somewhere AND yes one of my favorite female singer Katri-Helena has recorded it as Tekokukkia.
Paper Roses is everywhere Mr Finglish. I really don’t like that song, crazy that I bought that album lol.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Maybe you'll like ti in Finnish. ;)
The Mighty Lemon Drops - one of those bands where a kind of dumb named probably tanked them more than they realized. I have an Osmonds video coming up in a few weeks.
An Osmond video, I would be very interested in that. To be honest, I never ever gave them a chance. It was too wholesome for me though I was a very well behaved preachers kid.
Did you ever hear Donny Osmond & Dweezil Zappa's hard rock version of 'Stayin' Alive'?
No, and that sounds quite scary Dave.
Doesn't Marie Osmond sell some kind of diet now? Bless her heart. Good morning, Steve
Yes she does and is still looking great. Must be that diet! Lol
One week - The Cramps. Next week - Marie Osmond. Find me another channel with this range in taste! 😁
Lmao Chance. I guess I just don’t know what I want to listen to! Keeping the variety spice of life saying going !
Uh oh. This video might cost me some money, after sampling the Third Sound. Maybe King Buffalo, too...
Brian, I’m just trying to do my job and properly introduce you to some new group. The Canadian economy will thank you my friend
I think Sherbet Monster is much better than Mighty Lemon Drops. King Buffalo sounded great. The Mighty Lemon Drops not so much. Weren’t the first two albums by the Mighty Lemon Drops their best.
The Osmonds were cheap. Whatever props or food that was used in the skits they would take home. On all the other shows my uncles worked on they would let the workers take and share the food or whatever was used. On one skit there were hundreds of balloons used. My uncle said it was so funny watching them try to stick all those balloons in their cars.
While we are talking TV studios, Lucille Ball was the worst to work with. And I knew Jim Nabors was gay in the 60’s but I didn’t really know what my uncle meant when he told my parents he was fruity.
Those are fantastic stories Richie. Too funny on the Osmonds. Stuff your pockets with all the food, we will eat like kings for a week! And then happy funny Lucille was a diva, I guess I could see that happening. King Buffalo is great, it has been getting a lot of spins Thank you Zonkman
::TAPS FOOT:: We're going to have to have a DISCUSSION, Professor...this disdainful attitude towards popular and decent modern country music like Marie Osmond HAS TO GO.....ROTFL! Seriously, I thought KIM was melodramatic about things, but that review....yeesh...melodrammer EVERYWHERE! And a scream to boot...and before you ask, YES, I DO have that album, and YES, I DO like it (LOVE it, actually). But I also recognize the ripeness for comedy inherent therein, especially when someone with the name "Osmond" is involved...heh heh....have a great week, sir!
Hahaha I knew that would get you TC but the fact is, I Did Show a Marie Osmond album and last week a Barry Manilow album! What is happening to me I was raised in a very wholesome family but I never got into the Osmonds or….ready for this…The Waltons TV show. For shame, I was a rebel
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 My grandma loved "The Waltons", probably why I CANNOT stand that or "Little House On The Prairie"...hey I DO have my standards, after all....heh heh...
