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 A truly low-fi version of a genuine classic. No Stevie or Lindsay here. Just the boys playing the blues. Sort of.

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 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 Yow I wonder when this was shot. Tight horn section!
GarrettTheK Dang I almost forgot about Pete. Seems like a lot of us have. In his time though, in his time - he was a KING.
GarrettTheK A CLASSIC. No really. A. CLASSIC. So glad I found it.
GarrettTheK Do the Truckers sing from personal experience?
GarrettTheK Seems the Soul Benders want to be elbow benders...
GarrettTheK One shouldn't drink on an empty stomach. Who feels like some Chinese food?
GarrettTheK No one who's seen the film "Very Bad Things" will ever hear this song exactly the same way again. Films have a way of doing that to songs, eh?
