Ascending Melody – Dirty Projectors – Maybe it’s me but how experimental is this meant to be? Sounds like a prototypical Dp song with an off-kilter lick that hery-jerky’s on up the scales. Love the chick singers.
We Sail The Ocean Blue – Gilbert & Sullivan – From H.M.S. Pinafore which I will be going to see at City center in just a coupla hours. This is so enormously good humoured just the strings make you smile to yourself.
Accidents Will Happen (Live) – Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Memory Of Footsteps – Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band – Starts off like Miles Davis circa 1964 until Yoko enters and her always obtuse if no longer obstreperous vocals comes on like a French geisha.
The Living End – Judee Sill – All jump piano
Things Are looking Up – Judee Sill
Waiting For The D Train Yoko Ono/Plastic ono Band – Like a wasp fucking a buzzsaw
Taxi Cab – Vampire Weekend – Needy
Come On Up To My House – Thrice
Thank You, Too – My Morning Jacket – Just like Conor should get back to business and stop dicking around with side projects, so should Jim. Enough already -get MMJ back in class.
The World – Brad Paisley – One of Brad’s great ones. The guitars remind me of the Beatles circa Help -they rev smooth and twang sweet. Check out the video as well.
I Thought About You – Miles Davis – Live circa 1965
I Can’t Give You Anything But Love – Louis Armstrong – Recorded circa 1932
