I hear the first few chords of "Fox on the Run" and it's like cherry candy for the ears and soul. So much fun, this group. A guilty pleasure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039702831531369887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060877244096516182.post-70786521057108487952019-02-11T12:55:02.915-08:002019-02-11T12:55:02.915-08:00I love DK Returns, but it's a fairly complicat...I love DK Returns, but it's a fairly complicated work. My reasoning for not using it that I think it presupposes some knowledge of the history of not only Batman, but of the whole DC universe that might be inaccessible to new readers, in terms of content as well as artistic storytelling choices. I thought Year One was a more accessible work for a new reader. For my class specifically, this also introduced the superhero genre, so I didn't want to begin with something that deconstructed it as much as DK Returns until they were exposed to something a little more traditional. But, any of these things are debatable and, depending on the class and who's teaching it, mileage may vary.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419225915112178634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060877244096516182.post-70907220067545739392019-02-11T10:37:42.643-08:002019-02-11T10:37:42.643-08:00Interesting!

Sweet. I had bought the single "Blockbuster" in the early 70s, and the US-only album "The Sweet," then forgot about them for about 5 years, even though I kept hearing "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox On the Run" and couldn't believe it was them. But in '78, I bought "Level-Headed" because of "Love Is Like Oxygen." Again, the album was vastly different than anything I'd heard from them before. And that's it for about 30 years. But "Oxygen' had proved to be an enduring hit with me, so I went looking for it on YouTube to see what there might be, and that's when I when I was engulfed by two dozen highly entertaining TV appearances and 'videos.' I had no idea how playful, showy and fun they were, especially Steve Priest. But also, a song called "Action" became my favorite record of July 2018, and I never knew of it (even though it actually grazed the US Billboard Top 20 in 1976). And now I think "Ballroom Blitz" is just an outstanding single. I know you posted this about 6 years ago, but it's amazing how relevant your thoughts were to me right now.
