And From The Lastest CD in the Car...

I love this band, although in reading up on them, I think it is fair to say it is all about her, since she is the constant and the rest of the line up continues to change. Best heard through the car stereo. Turned up so the bass is rattling the mirrors, of course.

I have had this song playing all day in my head...

And if you go there, then you have to go here, too.

I Love The Sound Of Her Voice

Jonnhy Diesel and the Injectors

Yeah, Its a solid Rock and Roll Mood tonight. What can I say?

More Godfathers...

Yes, I have posted it before. It still rocks.

"Hit By Hit" was a casette I wore out in High School

And this is one of the reasons why:

Good Tune...

...Screwed Up Visuals...

Besides, as snarky as Steely Dan is, I figure they must be conservatives.

Happy Friday!

Too True

Today's Melodies

Dichotomy is a wonderful thing.

I woke up this morning singing "You Didn't Know Me When" By Harry Connick, Jr. and then switched to "International Bright Young Thing" By Jesus Jones.

Oh, and April? Thanks for planting that new Eagles song deep, deep into my subconscious.

...I rode a rollercoaster, from Coney Island to Key West. I hung on with one finger, so the other ten could rest...

Cole Porter and Snark Too...Who'da Thunk It?

Yes, I AM In A Mood Tonight...What Of It???

Yes, there is a theme tonight...more than one, actually. If fewer embed disables were screwing with me, it might be downright INTERESTING...

Hot Drums, Horns, and Women...Who Can Say No?

But I Am A Fan of John Hiatt

No, I Am Not A George Michael Fan...

...But I have always loved this song.

Sometimes, In The Heat of Spirted Discourse...

...it helps to take a moment and breathe.



I used to live in the Midwest, and I miss having REAL thunderstorms. The kind that shake the house. I really have never known another tranquilizer like it. This is evocative of it.

Ok, back at it!

The Hostages Had An Interesting Post...

...asking what song you have on your mp3 player that sucks but you still like.
I thought about this. I wondered if Sophie B. Hawkins "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" would work, but I shook myself out of it. I don't care if she's a dyke. The song is hawt, and I have always loved it. So I thought about it longer and came up with the answer.




I listened again yesterday and today. Its a party in a jewel case. And after the girls go home at 11:30, and you want to dance with the women, you can play his follow up, "If it don't kill you, it only makes you stronger."

In a nod to the Fyreman...

...who recently commented on his affinity for a new Ramstein track, I had to wonder, what is it about hard edged deutchers that eneables them to dig up and swing a musical motif like an abottoir's hook and snag the male psyche so well? Must be subliminal messages. Anyway, Doug, I see yer Ramstein and raise you a KMFDM.
Mheh.

Blue-eyed soul's enduring contributions.

I've always thought of these songs as two sides of the same coin, but lets face it.

"Tempted" is the polished gem here. No question, if you know the song, you sing along. Its hard not to.

The Album of the Day

If you like a layered, bluesy sound, with good vocals and you haven't heard it, give it a spin.

I woke up this morning with "Sold Me Down the River" playing in my head. I really couldn't help singing it in the shower. Something stoking that welsh spirit of rebellion, I think.

Other standout tracks:
Love Don't Come Easy
Devolution Working Man's Blues
Where a Town Once Stood
