Monday Random 10 (Memorial Day edition)

We've got the week off at TWDQ HQ, so we slept in and didn't fire up the Thin Blue Touch until this afternoon.

Let's...Hit...Shuffle!

The Tragically Hip - Escape Is At Hand for the Travellin' Man
The Meters - Out in the Country
Roger Miller - You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd
Steely Dan - The Fez
Linda Ronstadt - Love is a Rose
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Bo Conrad - Fiddler Spider
The John Sally Ride - The Girl You Won't Leave Your Wife For
Bruce Springsteen - Hitch Hikin'
Sharon Van Etten - No One's Easy to Love

Bonus 11
The Roots - No John Trumbull (Intro) (from The Hamilton Mixtape)

If you haven't already, check out the fine documentary on The Hip's final tour. The Meters tune is not the Three Dog Night hit. Roger Miller into Steely Dan is quite the transition. Bo Conrad led a terrific jug band (The Bo Conrad Spit Band) of fellow students from a local college in the late 60s/early 70s. This tune's from an album made a few years back. The John Sally Ride have produced a couple of excellent albums of clever power pop and their drummer is our favorite music blogger

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("Hard to breathe in a mask? How about a ventilator?"), already in progress.
