sublime to ridiculous: EOB notes

Sublime:
Now that it’s 2008, you can have your jet pack.  Bonus curiosity: he’s Swiss!  What do you make of that?  Flying at 180 mph about a mile over the alps, the most important thing he has to do is stay relaxed.  File under “easier said than done.”

Ridiculous: 
The following LPs (ask yer granpappy) were left on the sidewalk of 6th Avenue just north of Clement, and undoubtedly represent the non-liberated remainders of someone’s old dumped collection.  Can you sniff out the common thread?

Mac Davis: I Believe in Music
George Benson: Breezin’
Hooked on Classics
Hooked on Swing
The Best of the Mills Brothers (2 record set!) (but no gatefold)
Paul Williams: Here Comes Inspiration
Glen Frey: The All-Nighter
Patti Austin: Every Home Should Have One
Barbara (you know which one): Color Me Barbara
Bellamy Brothers: (apparently eponymous album, featuring “Let Your Love Flow")
Cleo Laine: A Beautiful Thing

Question (repeated for dramatic effect): What is the common thread among these unredeemed items of auditory jettison?  Answer: THEY ALL SUCK! 

Well that was fun, come again next time and I will try to have something more engaging with which to engage you.  In the meantime, Barbara, if you’re reading, you know I didn’t mean you.  Color me sycophantic!
