Great resource, Jimi. I love me some Lime Spiders.

Elliott Smith covering "Waterloo Sunset".

CDs in high rotation in my car this week:

Hunky Dory - Bowie. I don't think I'd ever realized before that the punk band Saccharine Trust got their name from "The Bewley Brothers. Also great: "Bombers," "Quicksand," "Kooks," "Andy Warhol," and, of course, "Queen Bitch."

Black Letter Days - Frank Blake. Really good. Maybe better than Teenager of the Year. Much more varied. Two great covers of Tom Waits "Black Rider" (one a surf guitar/ garage rave up).

Thrill - Eleni Mandell. Her first or second album. Great songwriter and really interesting, varied production on this by whassisname - Jon Brion. Some great rockers like "Pauline" and "Red Chevelle" - some knockabout Waitsian stuff. Her voice is very reminiscent of Polly Jean's.

We Love the Pirates - comp of sixties British pop interspersed with Radio London's pirate radio ads.

Faerycakes for Tea - comp of British popsike. Pretty much like the psychedelic side of the Monkees and Banana Splits.

I don't think I'd ever realized before that the punk band Saccharine Trust got their name from "The Bewley Brothers.

I never knew that, either. Doesn't seem very likely, given their music.

And the Goodmen of Tomorrow
Had their feet in the wallow
And their heads of Brawn
were nicer shorn
And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust

I think they just liked the phrase.

Probably so. Actually, I don't know much about any of those guys other than Baiza, but he doesn't seem like a Bowie fan. I'll bet the rest of 'em are.

Thrill - Eleni Mandell. Her first or second album. Great songwriter and really interesting, varied production on this by whassisname - Jon Brion. Some great rockers like "Pauline" and "Red Chevelle" - some knockabout Waitsian stuff. Her voice is very reminiscent of Polly Jean's.

Thank you so much for introducing me to her, Hec.

Uhm, can anybody send me the info on that place where the music lives? I seem to have deleted that email.

Anyone know of any good leap day or Sadie Hawkins songs?

There's gotta be a Sadie Hawkins song from the Li'l Abner musical, no?

Sadie, Sadie Hawkins

help requested:

I used to have a workout mix on my iPod - it got disappeared (I have rogue forces in my iTunes).

I am looking to rebuild one, but am not really looking at adding new tunes. So think mainish-stream stuff 70s - 90s with a hip-hop leaning in the late 80s. I walk on an elliptical for my workouts.

Recent additions: Shake your body down to the ground - The Jacksons Zoloft - Drive By Truckers

thanks.
