It’s The Devil’s Due You’re Paying Now, You Understand
Hey guess what everybody!!!
Here is a song that I like! It is from a guy!
Kelley Stoltz - When You Forget from Circular Sounds (insound / amazon CD / amazon mp3 / itunes)

Wet Me For One, Mr. Sprinkler
I hope the weather where you are is anywhere near as spectacular as it is in SF right now. Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city, so it’s time to buss out one of the kings of summertime jams.
One whole day to play!
De La Soul - A Roller Skating Jam Named “Saturdays” from [...]
Wizard, Pound Your Mor, Mor, Mortar Pestle
Phew.
After yesterday’s blast I need a song about a wizard.
And even that might not be enough. I need a song about a wizard that has some Native American flute played by a lady named Gentle Thunder.
Oh, look! Here’s one!
Mariee Sioux - Wizard Flurry Home from Faces In the Rocks (insound / amazon CD / amazon [...]
They’re All Over Me
I’m really glad I’m not in a rock band, because I’d be ashamed of how it didn’t rock as much as Vincent Black Shadow. (Probably because my band would be a Belle & Sebastian tribute band.)
Their album is a nonstop half-hour assault of man-ass FONK that only lets up when the tempo slows down so [...]
Wigglin’ And Jigglin’ And Grabbin’ On They Pelvis
This one’s for the folks who enjoyed the video I posted Friday, but haven’t heard the Masta Ace song it was built around.
That was my story — I’m still discovering great hip-hop from the mid- to late-nineties, a period when I was up to my teeth in banjo music and God knows what else.
There’s nothing [...]
When I’m Out For Love Or Sin, Oh It’s Good To Be In Town
Welcome to my birthday party — I got you something! Hello Vegetables turned one yesterday. 261 songs later, I hope I’ve been of some use to the planet.
Barry Manilow was my first pop-music love, performed my first two “rock” concerts, and recorded two of my first three albums. So I owe it all to Barry. [...]
Low End Theory Tape Bass Bass Crazy Kickin’
I can’t bear to leave for the weekend on a sad note, so here’s a video that is especially appropriate since I’ve been bass-crazy kickin’ Low End Theory mp3s around my block all week.
It’s by Kidz In The Hall (I keep accidentally typing New Kidz On The Block), and it’s built around a Masta Ace [...]
He Rides In The Sun Till His Day’s Work Is Done
Rest peacefully, Eddy.
Eddy Arnold - Cattle Call from whichever compilation you like — allmusic recommends the 1967 RCA collection The Best Of Eddy Arnold (amazon / itunes)
Wash Away What We Create
Holy crap alert!
Did you listen to the freebie stream of the new No Age album last weekend? You must not have, because if you had you would have e-mailed me going “Holy crap that’s great!”
Nouns is a real album. It means something as a whole, in sequence. Not like 2112 — more like New Day [...]
Nun Schaust Du Mich Mit Treuen Blauen Augen An
It’s Wednesday, which can mean only one thing: German Pop Day!
Today’s tune is in that sort of early-70s country-pop Olivia Newton-John vein, and it comes from Danish singer Gitte Hænning (known in Germany only as Gitte, possibly because there is no “æ” in German).
1974, kommen an Ihnen!
Gitte - So Schön Kann Doch Kein Mann Sein
And [...]
