What are you listening to? The world really needs to know. #7

[mjp]

You can tell he has the blues deep down in his soul.

 

[PhillyDave]

Heard this first thing in the morn. Great way to start the day.


and saw Wilco do a short tight set (1.5 hrs instead of their usual 3) at a fest this past Friday so re-connecting with my love for them.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

In my style of music and lyrics (/poetry), it don't get much better than this...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Modernization hits, pardon me for choosing this song.

Nice

 

[Pogue Mahone]

This guy just get BETTER and better with his lyrics as he gets old. Closest thing to Buk in this genera. Mind you, the meledy ain't so sweet, but Ray and Lucinda have never had very sweet voices...

 

[Short Bus]

I saw Ray last year in Toronto-he has great stories and some of them may even be true.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

It may sound a little cheesy now, but in my prog rock teens I really liked this band...

[Pogue Mahone]

I don't recommend the video (although Tom drinking coffee is kind of fun), but this is as good as Pretty gets

 

[Black Swan]

Mr.Glen Campbell has left the house...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I got introduced to this one from Tom Petty's Mudcrutch project and loved it at first hear. I knew Roger McGuinn wrote it, but I didn't seek it out because I figured it would be one of those mono sounding old Bryd's sounding songs. I was way wrong. Sure, Tom had a lot of modern toys to play with, but the original holds up incredibly strong.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

Just seemed right.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Didn't know Glenn Campbell played on this one. Even an old squirrel learns something new every day...

 

[mjp]

He was a session guy before he became famous, so he probably played (uncredited) on hundreds of songs.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

He played on this one too. I imagine he was quite confused as to what he was supposed to be doing...

 

[PhillyDave]

Actually, I bet he wasn't very confused at all. Just another day in the salt mines?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

This Chick and Ray Wylie Hubbard should have sex and create the next Dylan. Lucinda Williams and James Mcmurtry can be God parents.

There's a little Dear Mr. Fantasy in the chords, but these lyrics are pure classic. I wonder if a guy could write them as well as these.

 

[Black Swan]

 

[gabilager]

weird album with weirder intros and riffs. i like it.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I remember listening to Seasons in the Sun on the radio riding around in the Buick with my mom, going to the laundromat, etc. Decided to look it up.

 

[PhillyDave]

'Cause I'm a predictable dork.

 

[gabilager]

gold.

[PhillyDave]

My friend is in a band called The Sparklers, a power-pop, sorta alt-country band. They're good. Doing a youtube search I found another band by the same name and their shit is really good.

 

[PhillyDave]

Then there's this "Ding Dong Twist", possibly the best song title ever.

 

[gabilager]

nice tracks:
you go pepito cha-cha for no more than 3 mins and you end shake shake shake to get all the juice

 

[mjp]

Welcome to Jamrock, Damian "Junior Gong" Marley rhymes over Ini Kamoze's "World A Music," a 1983 track with Sly and Robbie. Damian is the son of Bob and Cindy Breakspeare, who was Miss World in 1976.

"To win election them trick we, then them don't do nothing at all..." Sounds familiar.
