Stouffer's used to make a Frozen Italian sausage sandwich. Which I think of when I hear this song. (It was college perhaps I was under the influence)

Wow, I always wanted this song to go on longer. And then - 12" mix! Duhhh.
GarrettTheK
just fun.

The film Hard Eight comes to mind with this one. Probably that's just me.

I wish this were the complete album version. Great to fly down the freeway to. (Check out the full version sometime. It's even more out there.)
GarrettTheK
Simple, driven and profane. Rock n roll.

Ssssspeaking of catchy:
GarrettTheK
Catchy, catchy, catchy. Not as catchy as "Do You Feel It?" but I can't find that. So -
GarrettTheK
Guess I musta beena gypsy inna former life.
GarrettTheK
from a solo album by Pink Floyd's drummer.
GarrettTheK
I hope this is the complete version...one of the few songs that make me feel a kinetic 7 year old again.
GarrettTheK
Never heard this one before, was looking for something else and like these guys. You like? (Suddenly I feel like a trashpicker or something...)
GarrettTheK
Yeah there's Dinah's voice. But there's also a fantastic arrangement with a perfectly swinging yet hesitant tempo. Yeeeeah.

He got high, got lost AND got sick. Which is why I'm giving him a ride.
GarrettTheK
first heard on a large boat. So best heard on a large boat? It's deboatable.
GarrettTheK
still gives me the creeps, like it did as a kid.
GarrettTheK
When I listen to it once, I listen to it a thousand times. In heavy rotation - in my HEAD.
GarrettTheK
Check it out check check check check it out. Check it out check check check check it out. Check it out check check check check it out.
GarrettTheK
Was it you? It was. Your point being?
GarrettTheK
From the collection Roots of Chica: Psychedelic Cumbias from Peru. The band is Juaneco y su Combo.
GarrettTheK
I couldn't BELIEVE I found this here. Okay it's total 70s fusion. Try to listen through that and pick up on the ENERGY as the electric piano picks up.
GarrettTheK
there have been covers, but - naaaaaaah.
GarrettTheK
speaking of offbeat off-center energy - why does this sound so f'in familiar?
GarrettTheK
and see, it segues right into...!
GarrettTheK
it's in the beat. aaaaalllll in the beat. and the horns. and her voice. and the changes.
GarrettTheK
Yow props props @powerlevel. ¡Gracias senor!

GarrettTheK
Men's Needs by The Cribs. Apparently men have them too. Go figure.
GarrettTheK
The title sounds like a Black Oak Arkansas song from the 70s. It's not, though.
GarrettTheK
He's got some words of wisdom (I've got some words of wisdom) He's got some words of wisdom (I've got some words of wisdom) GET IT ON.

If you haven't heard 'em, here's a good starting place. This song's so good it HURTS. Dan is beyond category.
GarrettTheK
Oh, I get it. Jimi was playing the blues. Ahhhhhhhhh.
GarrettTheK
SOmething about 60s Ska when it's in a minor key is just - bloouoouououuouuuagghhhh!
GarrettTheK
Like the man says just live your life.
GarrettTheK
I could listen to this song every day for 6 or 7 hours. I know because that's how long it's been stuck in my head.
GarrettTheK
Story of a misspent youth.
GarrettTheK
I guess the political climate was different in the 50s. It was for Mr. Waters, for sure.
GarrettTheK
Okay, as long as we're going don that non-p.c. route - it's not what you think. Still dodgy, but...

A southern brother act made a brief splash with this one once.

GarrettTheK
TIGHT. Listen to that horn section. That organist. The guitarist. The drummer. This band KICKS.
GarrettTheK
Just because it segues nicely into the Prince song immediately following.
GarrettTheK
The INCOMPARABLE Durante. Check the arrangement behind his spoken vocal; the music in his delivery. "...Then I went to Hackensack to forget Hoboken."
GarrettTheK
Just a dang sweet groove.
GarrettTheK
A truly low-fi version of a genuine classic. No Stevie or Lindsay here. Just the boys playing the blues. Sort of.
GarrettTheK
Dang song goes through three or four time sigs & styles still a unified whole, and makes a 'statement' at the same time. Frank, we MISS you.
GarrettTheK
A rollicking version of a song as old as mold.
GarrettTheK
Joe from the early 70s, like maybe - 1970? Veddy niiice.
GarrettTheK
Oops, shoulda started with this one. Fela & Ginger, also circa 1970.

GarrettTheK
bleepin' DRIVEN horn section on this one. I also love the beginning: "ONE-!" *booma boooma boooma boo boo boooma boom boom boom*
GarrettTheK
funny how one song suggests the next. Speaking of tearjerkers -

GarrettTheK
and let's include this gentleman:
GarrettTheK
wow not to get all down and all...
GarrettTheK
ah there we go, picking up the energy
GarrettTheK
when are these guys gonna come out with a new one?
GarrettTheK
Thanks @jjakubowski for props! Your Steely Dan brought me to: "Lost wages, lost wages..." refers to an early 60s Lenny Bruce routine. True story.
GarrettTheK
Here's Lenny's routine from which Steely Dan lifted their "Lost Wages" line. I believe it comes fairly early in the piece.
GarrettTheK
Lenny to amphetamines, not exactly a leap. There's a nice guitar solo on this one.
GarrettTheK
a long-ass sweet rambling jam from one of these here legendary supergroups.
GarrettTheK
almost supernaturally beautiful. Whoever put this together had some massive ears.
GarrettTheK
Here's a guy who used a violin to maximum effect. (Yeah I said violin. Sue me.)
GarrettTheK
a loose, shambling feel, almost (almost?) retro.
GarrettTheK
classic, overplayed, still a force to be wrecked with.
GarrettTheK
okay after this, we'll unmellow.
GarrettTheK
¡Gracias fer props @mollena! Now we're starting to ramble, but it's all good think of it as a melange, yes.

Fuck yeah. "@Garrett_The_K: "classic, overplayed, still a force to be wrecked with."

Pretty creepy. Yes, both pretty and the slightest bit creepy:
GarrettTheK
I still remember the surprise I felt when I heard Carlos Santana didn't pen this one. This is now THE version for me:
GarrettTheK
@wdavo, ¡gracias por props. Okay so now we're on this black kick I guess:
GarrettTheK
Tanks for props @enelcaminoando! The too-short solo closing this tune makes my fingernails grow faster. Always keep the clippers handy when you hear:
GarrettTheK
Eleni Mandell asks: "Can't You See I'm Soulful?" I do, I do! But more people need to find out. A unique talent you've never heard anything like.
GarrettTheK
I love Eleni. Eleni loves Paris. Ah well. I love this song, so it all comes full circle.
GarrettTheK
Dang now I'm on a kick. One more from Ms. Mandell:
GarrettTheK
sending positive vibes, positive vibes, positive vibes - can you feel them?
GarrettTheK
Okay, one last from the dame. Then I'm DONE wit her.
GarrettTheK

GarrettTheK
"The Dancer Upstairs" opens with this version of Nina singing this, as a car winds down a road at night, headlights sweeping before it. Big imprint.
GarrettTheK
A nifty cover I've never heard. She makes it hers! Wow TFP (thanks fer props) @MusicWithMsB, @DJvamusic, @Surreality, @generalelectrik.
GarrettTheK
shoutout @MusicWithMsB, thanks & welcome! I can never listen to this next one once, from a massively talented woman:
GarrettTheK
From the same album, presumably the same performance. Listen to all she gives to a song!
GarrettTheK
Screw it. Screw variety, the rich musical stew and all that. Here's all of Carmen's Great American Songbook, just because. A true desert island disc.
GarrettTheK
Joe Pass puts in some stellar stuff throughout as well. Carmen McRae's Great American Songbook, track 2:
GarrettTheK
How odd it must be to address the end of your own relationship with someone in song, and co-author the song with that person.
GarrettTheK
HAW!! What a kick! Fun, excelllent cover.
wordgrrl
One of my favorite covers and so fitting for this soggy Wednesday.
GarrettTheK
One man's Japanese Ska is reality's Latin Ska. This I now know. This song gets in that zone and wiggles its curly colorful electric stick.
GarrettTheK
My favorite song I discovered in 2008. If a song can alter one's consciousness, leave it a permanently different space, this song did that to mine.
GarrettTheK
Stumbled across this sweet number just now. I'll have to learn more about these guys! A retro soul sound, Booker T meets James Brown.
GarrettTheK
Here's More Momo. His catalog is complely OOP, with the exception of one track On a compilation called Desert Blues II. Bummer -
GarrettTheK
Nothing better than discovering some new sounds, sort of like putting a room addition in your brain. This song's a dark comfortable study.
GarrettTheK
Mocky + Feist = Mushaboom. Don't mock the Mock.
GarrettTheK
a continuation of mood, if not message. Is this song REALLY 30 years old? Marvin, Marvin, Marvin. What happened to you?
GarrettTheK
SUCH a continuation aurally of Mercy Me it sorta freaks me out. More Mocky. Mocky meet Momo. Momo, meet Mocky.
GarrettTheK
More Momo, the last I can turn up around here. What a SOUND.
GarrettTheK
An obvious segue perhaps. I'd forgotten how much I like this album.
GarrettTheK
Beautiful. I like to think of the road Floyd could have gone down, instead of the one they did. Benefit of hindsight.
GarrettTheK
leaping from lily pad to lily pad trying not to get splashed or run into any frogs - let it roll.

Sappy, yes. But it gets me every time.

This song makes me want to melt and drip down the drain.
GarrettTheK
5, 6, 7, 8 - How many times in a row have I played this one, Max? I know it isn't in single digits. Am I nuts, or does the chorus channel the Stones?
GarrettTheK
Thanky kindly @rafaelladm fer de propses. Mmmmmmm yeah. These fellers is downright - uhhhh - musical. Yup.
GarrettTheK
RB @MusicWithMsB: for coming up with this one out of lerft field - one of the prettiest songs of the era. Harmonius! Much obliged.
(reblip)
GarrettTheK
Hoo boy now I'm in trouble. And about to lose listeners? I'm on a vocal harmony kick. Not doo wop, this predates that. Sublime stuff, some of it.
GarrettTheK
Wow this one goes back. Pre-50s R&B vocal harmony. It started with the Mills Brothers (actually 'teens & 20s gospel 4tets.) And evolved into Doo Wop.
GarrettTheK
Not exactly vocal harmony, but groovy nonetheless.
GarrettTheK
"If you leave me pretty baby I'll have bread without no meat..." I got nothing to add.
GarrettTheK
Hey, here's Dave Bartholomew to break things up.
GarrettTheK
Sweeeeet. "When you smile like that baby, my love comes tumblin' down."
GarrettTheK
¡gracias! @patita fer de props. Here's a rocking, slightly risque r&b number from the early 50s. Wynonie was a HUGE star.
GarrettTheK
It's almost hard to believe this one got any airtime. "He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'..."
GarrettTheK
Sixty Minute Man. Another bawdy R&B classic. Plus it swings.
GarrettTheK
On my way somewhere else, I found this. Never heard before, but it sounds great!

GarrettTheK
A nice simple arrangement of a Willie Dixon song. I love this one for the spaces in between -
GarrettTheK
Ooooooh this is a fine piece of recording business. Dig Ray's laid back, blurry delivery.
GarrettTheK
WOW, I attended this show at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn, IL. WEIRD. Great band if you haven't heard 'em. Big in the 70s & recently reunited.
GarrettTheK
THX for the RB @avivamagnolia + 4 props @generalelectrik (who's where it's apparently noon). There are lots of good songs about imbibing. Here's one.
GarrettTheK
These guys are way fun, are fine musicians and have some outrageous ears.
GarrettTheK
moving ever so slightly into the present, this is fun too.
GarrettTheK
nod & nudge @generalelectrik plus this one. I'm gonna have to find out more about these guys. Based on this track, mmm-hmmm!
GarrettTheK
Hey these guys are interesting! Looks like a good scene.
GarrettTheK
okay so I was looking for a little juice and found something else new. Nice picking on this live performance.
GarrettTheK
Ahhhhh now HERE'S some juice worth drankin'. Eddie is - one of a kind.
GarrettTheK
Back at the saucy R&B. Perhaps there's a better choice of words, considering the bent of this tune. Mr Harris, we salute you!
GarrettTheK
A nasty one from Ms. Washington. Something about a dentist and his drill. Yow.
GarrettTheK
Old and nasty and gritty. The stained curtain's blowing into the dark, funky room.
GarrettTheK
We're definitely reaching back, I hope not too far. But if you can listen through the antiquity of these things, they're pretty cool.
GarrettTheK
Another 30s dirty blues. I'll see what there is from the 50s at least...
GarrettTheK
Check THIS one out. That's not a typo, it's an alternate novelty lyric version recorded by an otherwise straight 40s-50s R&B group.
GarrettTheK
I wonder how they came up with this title...? More 50s R&B harmony.
GarrettTheK
Wot the hell, might as well stay on this horse - here's more risque blues:
GarrettTheK
Cajun nastiness from the one and only Boozoo.
GarrettTheK
(sssssshhhh this one's full of bad words...)
GarrettTheK
Hope these aren't crossing a line somewhere. They're all from a compilation called "If It Ain't a Hit..." parents strongly cautioned?
GarrettTheK
Not naughty, just a great groove.
GarrettTheK
Amos with another, this one's kinda goofy.
GarrettTheK
¡Gracias por los propos @Fad23! One of my all-time favorite performers with a mischievous entry:
GarrettTheK
To think that within a few years this genre had devolved into late 50s doo wop. Shudder.
GarrettTheK
Continuing the racy 50s r&b - One from (for?) the ladies:
GarrettTheK
Here's one I first heard featured on the Dr. Demento show a while back:
GarrettTheK
Let's let Julia unfurl a bit of friendly advice before she goes - She's got some swinging musicians backing her on this one!
GarrettTheK
A visit to risque 50s r&b wouldn't be complete without:
GarrettTheK
I doubt you've ever heard four men make quite these sounds in popular music before!

ReBlip of this one, unfortunately Blip yanked me from the DJ's original post & I missed his/her name. But thanks for this awesome tune!

Francis Dunnery. Give him a listen. I've tried to describe him in the past to friends, and always failed. To hear him is to - - you know.
GarrettTheK
The Yardbirds certainly were respectable -
GarrettTheK
Kill Osker claims respectability, despite their moniker.
GarrettTheK
The Kinks have been well respected since the early 60s. Ray Davies recent album's pretty good as well!

from the LP Roots of Chica: Psychedelic Cumbias from Peru. The band: Los Mirlos. ¡Bueno!

Hmm kind of a nice segue if I do say so...Rabbits doing camels.
GarrettTheK
This song is downright velcrotic. Just try to pry it loose. (relax, it's a good thing. Let it wash over yez...)

I'm not sure where this video came from. But the song as I know it is from the Roots of Chica: Psychedelic Cumbias from PERU LP

More 60s psychedlica from Peru, this time from Juaneco y su Combo. (Something tells me the video ladies' costumes aren't authentic.)

This one represents a wide-spread philosophy in the 60s. So much so it was widely displayed as t-shirt art.

You find the coolest stuff just lying around the web! Case in point - Lafayette "The Thing" Thomas. Great. Another artist I have to investigate.

One of those intros you recognize in the first 8th of a second. The rest of the song's no slouch either.

A classic. Overplayed once, I reckon. But there's usually a reason why songs are. 'Cause they're goooood.
GarrettTheK
As long as we're attending mid 60s jazz shows which freakishly produced Billboard hits (is that what we were doing?) - another classic w good reason.
GarrettTheK
Not sure whether this is live, but I saw him do this live once. There aren't many of this gentleman's breed - or his generation of musicians - left.
GarrettTheK
nice groove going, nice tempo. I think my ancestors came from Germany. You go far enough back, though...right? All I'm saying.

Mmmm stretched out under a tree in the shade listening to the leaves rustle

GarrettTheK
Whooooah, HELLO! My words exactly when I heard the intro to this one. Great energy! Go Go Mando Diao -
GarrettTheK
The intro to this one sounds like it should have been called "before amplification". But it picks up from there volume-wise if not tempo-wise. tender
GarrettTheK
Who are scientists? WE are scientists, damnit. Even after hours.
GarrettTheK
There's a really nasty joke about three women. I'm sure Stereolab has never heard it, let alone would they tell it.
GarrettTheK
Scientists can be so condescending, the men I mean. "Go tell the women that we're leaving" indeed.
GarrettTheK
Here's a woman what is a woman. Singing about four women.
GarrettTheK
dunno how to follow that but this might fill the bill. The Fugees: No Woman, No Cry

One of those voices recognizable as soon as he opens his mouth to sing. Al is like grass. Like sky. Earth unimaginable without him.
GarrettTheK
Oooooo. I haven't heard him do this one before. Niiice.
GarrettTheK
Thought: How bout blipping songs you can't play just once? I played this song all. summer. long. in my car. No breakup, just could not stop listening.
GarrettTheK
Another over & over & over number: (BTW what's up with blipup? I see no new ups since the 8th)
GarrettTheK
Off to a slow start, but it builds 'til -- b-woooof. Dig that angry rant he goes into to kick off the repeat repeat repeat of the chorus. Woooomp.

Here's Bean on something with a more conventional structure. Another song impossible to imagine not existing - something like garden hoses.

GarrettTheK
Here they take a step away from the line and approach us.

Now here's a man who knows what works for him when and what doesn't.
GarrettTheK
Yes, that appears to be a live chicken atop Rosco's piano. And doesn't the audience love it! Look at 'em groove. All clappin' on one & everything.
GarrettTheK
This man - was he simply a character, or full-blown nuts? He certainly played the piano as if something was unhinged.

Here's another from Mr. Booker, whose online presence looks to be fairly sparse:

Oh man, I almost forgot about this one! Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry solo?) covered this one nicely too. Waving a big signal flag @DuncanDogg !
GarrettTheK
Yup here 'tis.
GarrettTheK
Three ways to handle a tune: First Muddy's, now the Asylum Street Spankers take a whack at it -
GarrettTheK
Lastly lets' let some Young Fresh Fellows go at it for a while. I guess "more uptempo" might be one way of putting it...
GarrettTheK
Hmmm I guess anything's gonna sound stately after that one. The Peoples get a nice undulating flow going, though.
GarrettTheK
That woman who works hard for the money ain't got nothing on this dame.
GarrettTheK
I'm guessing...late 70s?
GarrettTheK

I prefer this version to R Newman's. Mostly because of the interesting instrumentation & production w the vocals.

Oscar should be more well-remembered today than he is. An incredible guitarist - he has fun, too.
GarrettTheK
Here he plays a ballad - then something decidedly unballadic.
