It's Wednesday, Lemon.
Forgot to bring the iPod Touch along on this morning's grocery run, so we did this on the afternoon errands.
Let's...Hit...Shuffle!
It's like the iPod knew I needed my favorite bands this week, so right out of the chute, we have a brief Wilco instrumental, The Cowboys blazing through an unreleased Van Morrison rave-up, a Fountains of Wayne b-side, Peter Case from his finest album, some old XTC, and tune from Golden Smog's first full-length album. Then La Vern Baker from the indispensible Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 box, my favorite Santana single, the song that put Dire Straits on the map, and the vocal prowess of Fleming McWilliams. At first, I thought the two Beatles songs were part of a medley.Wilco - EKGThe Belfast Cowboys - When I DeliverFountains of Wayne - Elevator UpPeter Case - Rise And ShineXTC - Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me)Golden Smog - FriendLa Vern Baker - Jim DandySantana - No One To Depend OnDire Straits - Sultans Of SwingFleming & John - That's All I KnowBonus 11The Beatles - Things We Said Today (Live at the BBC)Bonus 12 (because it flowed seamlessly out of 11)The Beatles - I'm Happy Just To Dance With YouBonus 13 (because it's funnier than hell that a 19-minute song came up after this all led off with a 1:16 track)Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant
We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("What do you think of a felon pardoning violent felons, Senator?"), already in progress.
Please keep the discussion civil and do not wander off into "How exactly will this bring down the price of eggs, Congresswoman?"
Discuss.
