Tony Orlando & Dawn

Artist: Tony Orlando & Dawn
LP: Greatest Hits
Song: "Candida"
[ listen ]

One of my mail-carrying colleagues at the Wallingford Post Office is named Don. He delivers mail on route 4. The other day I asked him if he's ever worked with someone named Tony Orlando, but he says he has not. I found this gem at The Junk Drawer tonight on my way to get a chicken caesar sandwich at Palermo Pizza and Pasta

Harry Belafonte

Artist: Harry Belafonte
LP: 7" EP
Song: "Venezuela"
[ listen ]

This 1954 4-track 7" EP is one of the treasures I found at Ballard's Sonic Boom Records on my day off work yesterday. I've heard people refer to this emoji as the "face hug" emoji...

...but I've always thought of it as the emoji that represents whatever it is Harry Belafonte is doing on the cover of this record.
