Song Of the Day: March 9, 2005


The Tours-Tourist Information


Virgin Records 45, 1979

Folks who live for that UK powerpop sound as featured on the Shake Some Action series of CD compilations absolutely lose their composure over the Tours "Language School" 45. And it is indeed a great record. But, man, this one's awfully good too. I have a suspicion that we haven't heard the last of vocalist/singer Ronnie Mayor on Little Hits...

BTW, I would highly recommend the Shake Some Action CDs, especially the UK volumes, to our visitors who liked our selections by the Donkeys, Dazzlers, Tonight, etc. Does anyone know where to find track listings for those discs online?

Track listings for Shake Some Action vols 1-8 are available on Amazon. I'll be sure to snap those up if I see them cheap.

This song reminds me a bit of the Yachts' "The Yachting Type." That's a very good thing.

And I hate to risk sounding like a nitpicky jerk, but did you mean "Tonight" instead of "Tomorrow"? Either way, both good bands!

Yes, Jeff, I did. I went in and fixed it.

Thanks,
