I would like to hear some songs about being on the verge of starting a relationship. Songs about the anxieties of finally asking and the relief of doing so, songs about entering into a relationship with a good friend, and other similar topics. Thanks for any suggestions!

Some nice rockabilly for your weekend.

I recently came across a old popsike link that I would love to add to my digital archive of all still surviving recordings of Buddy Holly. This is piece of rock n' roll history that was never digitally archived and was auctioned in 2007. I'm curious if anyone knows the private collector this went too or if anyone possibly has a recording of this super rare record of the four that were ever made.

Carl's follow up to Blue Suede Shoes. Carl had been in a bad auto accident while touring (his brother was killed), so Boppin' The Blues came out later than it otherwise might have. Though it only made #70, it's one of his best 45s. https://youtu.be/aLSj35MJIgU?si=Auxm9nSVOduY6784

When it comes to Atompunk, Raypunk, 40s-60s Sci-Fi… Music to me the old Sherman Brothers Soundtrack of Tomorrowland (like „Miracles from Molecules“, and even more the ones with talking like Carousel of Progress) and albums like Tom Glazer‘s „Space Songs“ bottle the spirit of the Topic the best to me (Sci-Fi/Space Sounds makes it even stronger).
So: Do you have any similar tunes? Modern or old doesn’t matter.

Always been super curious to see who people would pick. I gotta go with my guy Eddie 😁

Big Mama Thornton originally did Hound Dog in 1953, with Lieber and Stroller producing her version. This clip of her performing it live dates from 1965, but it captures the vibe of her version perfectly. https://youtu.be/BmpwvxW0gW0?si=I55JoUri4XbRZptt

This is my favorite Eddie Cochran single. It was a minor hit in 1958, and again in 1961 after Eddie's death. https://youtu.be/-RXzeO-B4uQ?si=E8Hu2T2R-RVQQPUe
