Playing all the Dolly Parton-related records I have in my collection …which at the moment is limited to her Jolene album, Whitney’s IWALY cover on the Bodyguard CD and a couple of recent covers of Jolene. Nobody could do that song like Dolly tho. May she rest in peace and may her music live on!

Just had a listen to “Move Like This”, the only Cars album I don’t have. It’s one of their weaker albums but it’s still pretty good, definitely better than I expected from a band that hadn’t put out anything in over 20 years at that point. 7.3/10 favs: Keep On Knocking, Sad Song, Blue Tip worst: 🔜

“Door to Door” wasn’t the back-to-basics record it was said to be, but it speaks to my love of 80s music that I actually really liked it. I honestly found it better than the Cars’ early 80s records, which I know is kind of an unpopular opinion. 7.8/10

“Heartbeat City” marked a more glossy, synth-driven direction for the Cars (which I believe had a lot to do with working with Mutt Lange) and I think it really works! The five top 40 hits this album spun off are all fantastic and overall, I’d call it their best record since their debut. 8.1/10

Got a few new 45s that dropped today! The 2nd @daptonerecords.bsky.social 45 from Detroit singer Napoleon Demps & two 45s of songs recorded in the mid-70s from the @coleminerecords.bsky.social reissue imprint Remined, from Detroit group the Barrino Brothers & the late Ghanaian musician Ebo Taylor.

Napoleon Demps - “It’s So Hard”
The Barrino Brothers - “Just a Mistake” b/w “I’ll Take My Flowers Right Now”
Ebo Taylor - “Will You Promise” b/w “Maye Omama”

Wicked Dreamer @wickeddreamer.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

“Shake It Up” is probably the Cars’ most pop album up to that point (and they’re about to get even poppier) but despite that, this album stands out to me the least of their work so far. Still a consistently good record throughout, with no real duds to be found. 7.3/10

Wicked Dreamer @wickeddreamer.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

“Panorama” isn’t as sticky or memorable as the Cars’ first two records, leaning toward the artsier side of new wave (which is probably why it only had one top 40 hit, and barely at that). That said, the songs are still mostly good and Elliot’s guitar carries again. 7.5/10

Wicked Dreamer @wickeddreamer.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Candy-O isn’t the masterpiece that the Cars’ debut record was (imo), but it’s still a damn good album front-to-back. Elliot’s guitar work is especially great. 8/10 exactly. favs: You Can’t Hold On Too Long, It’s All I Can Do, Dangerous Type least fav: Shoo Be Doo

I said a few months ago I was gonna dive into the Cars’ 70s-80s discography which… didn’t really happen. I’m actually gonna go through with it this time! Anyway, their self-titled is still a fantastic album, one of the best in new wave & power pop. 8.9/10
