The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

I guess this is a signal for me to jump back into this thread. Carpenters takes me back, definitely one of those artists / albums we had around the house when I was a kid and a staple on SoCal AM radio. Mostly forgettable IMO, with the exception of the hits, and the covers were defintely whitewashed versions of the originals. That being said, Karen had a beautiful voice, and was a badass drummer.

Mentions of the Carpenters always take me back to the line from My Morning Jacket ~ Librarian:

Looking for a lesson in the periodicals
There I spy you listening to the AM radio
Karen of the carpenters, singing in the rain
Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way

I love that song. Even more now that I'm dating a librarian. Unfortunately they very rarely play it live.
