What are you listening to? The world really needs to know - III

Black Swan

Abord the Yorikke!
I still like some of Cat's songs, the same ones I liked back then.
For me, it is the hairstyle that did it! ;) I'm so shallow.

watched The Graduate last night on TCM.
Not to derail this thread, but a member of this very forum had a small part in the movie "The Graduate". Name that person and I'll send you something cool.... Email me at bill@bospress.net with your guess. I'll let you all know who it is if someone here gets it... And it is not a crowd scene or something. This person is very clearly seen.

Rare shit from Lebanon.

Rare shit from Israel.

I make fun of the whole Woodstock vibe but perhaps their idealism was right on no matter how brief.

Never heard of these two bands. I find they add nothing to the "sixties" sound.
My one eurocent.

You have to be really good or really unique to make that retro rockabilly/country/Sun Records thing worth listening to, and I have to say that poor Miss Izzy Cox is neither. I wanted to like the clumsy playing, weak singing, clunky lyrics and clueless American-Idol-tryout ego ("this is one of my classics"), because really, I like the underdog and the weirdo, but I don't know, man. It all rings false and forced.

But I will spearhead a drive to collect enough money to buy her a god damned guitar tuner. It's the least I can do.

You know, being in tune doesn't even matter, but there has to be something behind it. This is so - nothing - that it offends me. Maybe that's why I can't stop typing, even though it's very early and I should still be sleeping.

'Like, vocal singing.'?

At least she owns her own label, right?

Yes, very shrewd of her to own her own label. That way the man can't steal her millions in royalties.

Great band, long gone...never had the success they deserved while lesser talents did..Must be plenty of gifted bands who never get to be known beyond their locale.

No one got it and I figured that I'd give the answer away. The member here that was in The Graduate is Richard Krech. He holds the door open for Dustin Hoffman in the jewelry store. He was cast when the director saw him and his wife coming out of a store.

So, for a while I've been making playlists for the projects I'm working on--helps put me in the right headspace, and adds the atmosphere I want.

I'm currently rewriting a short story called "War Medal"--so, anyways, here's the songs on repeat while I do:

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda - The Pogues
Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis - Tom Waits
Right Down the Line - Gerry Rafferty
