This was Feed the Ogre

Album of the Day: The Knack - Get The Knack

Was at long-time-Feed-The-Ogre-friend Lester’s house a while back and “My Sharona” came on his mix on the back deck. There was a one-hit-wonder comment and I defended the honor of the entire “Get The Knack” album. I made him a copy and just heard from him today:

While I had listened to it w/ half an ear shortly after you passed it along, I had some quality time alone in my car w/ my iPod yesterday and gave it a good once over after a long day. Totally sweet and great driving music.

This is one of those quintessential summer albums for me. It’s best listened to riding the handlebars or book rack on your friend’s beach cruiser on the streets of Ocean City, NJ at the age of 15 or 16.

But I guess your cubicle will do as well.

It’s hard to pick my favorite tracks but will go with:

Oh Tara - Selfish - Maybe Tonight - Frustrated
