Let's talk about Donovan

I had no idea Donovan jumped on the disco bandwagon three years too late. Sadly most of it sounds like bad Bryan Ferry or his usual folky stuff, but this track is kind of a winner:

i've been obsessed w this dude lately. so much of his stuff i had just never heard, but that's been rectified thanks to spotify. well, the 60s stuff anyway. it doesn't appear that any of his 70s records are on there at all, jumping from '70s Open Road (p dope) to '80's Neutronica (which is...something). anything of interest in those intervening years?

Cosmic Wheels is p good

I see I said that upthread 7 years ago lol

cool. i'll see what i can find on youtube.

Now you’ve been away a long time. I got news for you: I don’t shine shoes no more.

Donovan by Bobbie Gentry. Odd song to choose and it doesn't really work but interesting nonetheless.

I mangle Bret Easton Ellis's name once or twice, and there was something else I egregiously messed up.

(Donovan's music in To Die For, L.I.E., The Rules of Attraction, and a few other films.)
