It's been some time since I put together one of these here things. This is nothing special, just a snapshot of a night some time ago.
I always wished I could pick up a cigarette and just light it. I have the coffee part down pat though.
I love how this song starts with a phone ringing. A perfect and jolting transition from one song to the next.
Sing-song goodness from the 1960's.
Switching gears into the land of Slightly Off. I love Robyn Hitchcock.
Everyone should love this song. Bratty and fresh stuff for the 2011 and beyond. I heard this band's song playing at a record store and asked about them. Glad I did.
This song never gets old. I've put it on a few mixes. A nice "kiss off" song for an ex.
Oh I don't know, it's just a great little song full of noise and melody and such.
"I'm not looking for a new England / I'm just looking for another girl"
Track 1 from Must I Paint You A Picture?
Still have no idea what this song is all about and I stopped trying ages ago.
Byrne and Eno hook up for another great little album, of which this song only represents 1/11 thereof.
Baby Washington is one of those singers who should have really blew up. One of the many great soul singers of the '60's.
Night time is the right time for songs like this. Yes, this if Ed Sanders of the Fugs.
Track 2 from I'm In Trouble 7"
Someday this song will kick off a mix that I'll make in the future, yeah.
Drove around many a time to this song. Another great British import.
Slumberland Records. That label still matters in my book.
Billy Corgan got a little shoegazey on this track.
Track 2 from Searching Through the Past 7"
The B-side to a 7" I bought at one of their shows. The Clavin sisters, formerly of Mika Miko, are doing their Best Coast thing. It was great live. They even covered the Ramones' "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World" replete with controversial lyrics. I hope they come back.
I heard this song on a local radio program called Radio Exotica, which features nothing but lounge music for two hours, with the occasional DJ interruption for a weather forecast in...Brazil. A nice way to end this thing.
