Hey Baraka...
that is a catchy...tune.

I am having way too much fun perusing these song lists...
my dog is sitting in front of me with his leash in his mouth...

gotta go...

oh yeah..Lennon's 'Working Class Hero'....

A little Billie Holiday added to the list. Etta James always makes me think of her.

Sometimes I wish I felt like Billie Holiday sounds when she sings. Pure heaven no matter what the song.

Had to add SRV's "Pride and Joy." Heard it while out this evening; it has to be one of my all-time favorites.

Well, yes, he introduced me to their music one night while we were in chat...I'd never heard of them before. He posted a link to the video for 'Rebellion (Lies)'. And it is thusly so that I started to collect their music.

a curious and most excellent japanese band.
sadly, i couldn't find their version of "candy says" which is just too excellent words nearly fail o yes.

I forgot to post earlier. Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners, by the Foo Fighters.

There's a fun story behind this track. During the Beaconsfield mine collapse a couple of years ago, the two trapped miners asked for an ipod with Foo Fighters songs on it. Dave sent down a message with the ipod that he'd dedicate a track on the next album to them and that when they got out they could have free tickets to a show. Ballad is the song that he wrote for them.

I'll add a song(and then 67 more) when I get one to load fully, sos'n I can test the track's audio(some links are duds; also, my connection in this desert is trifling).


What I'd like for some to scrounge up is the originator of the that thread in "Found on the Net" that introduced the esteemed folk here at TFP to the excellent engine of search service that is seeqpod.

As a favor, I "dug" up the treasure trove.

work is leaving no room to breathe lately, so I thought this old Rush tune would help....


sweet playlist so far!

roachboy

fela ransome kuti and his fantasitc big band.
in the fine form, fela smokes the place with this track.

this is a live, recorded in the early 1970s (i don't remember where).
before he became anikulapo.
either way, you can never have enough fela in your life.
one of the great bands in the universe, in my humble opinion.


let us start what we have come into the room to do.

we can begin by turning everything up.

Beck - Lord Only Knows


What is most difficult about selecting a song from an album is that most of those I own are so well-integrated, that it becomes a right giddy decision of choosing what feels right. Hopefully you agree.
