I first encountered it from the Buffista Music Exchange thing - I think from bicyclops. So thanks, Buffista-who-probably-is-bicyclops.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Am listening to a live version of "Crepuscule with Nellie" by Thelonious Monk. People are talking in the background. I wanna travel back in time to 1958 and yell at them - "Why the fuck are you talking during this awesome song?!?"
Fantastic song. That's probably from that Live At The Five Spot - Discovery album of Monk with Coltrane that was recorded on a cheap handheld by an audience member.
That's probably from that Live At The Five Spot
Yep.
was recorded on a cheap handheld by an audience member.
Yeah, that's what it sounds like.
Lyrics of the day: "We Can Be Together" by Jefferson Airplane.
We can be together
Ah you and me
We should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of america
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die and
We can be together
All your private property is
Target for your enemy
And your enemy is
We
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves
Up against the wall
Up against the wall fred (motherfucker)
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls...
Soul cover of Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart"
Loving this catchy, brass-filled re-imagining of the haunting Wilco classic by Chicago's JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound. Perfect thing for a Friday afternoon!
Cool version. I've never heard of this band, even though I lived in Uptown for 8 years.
Thanks, tommy!
Thanks for that, Tommy!
ION, I am really enjoying the new New Pornographers album Together, which I picked up from eMusic.
I've been digging that, too. The new Hold Steady is pretty solid, also, and the new Fall album continues their recent excellence.
I got to see The Hold Steady perform last year, their live show is a real treat.
