UPDATE 09.09: Comments closed due to heavy load. Special Sunday overflow jukebox is open for business.
…droppin’ early bumped because too much USian national politics on the weekend is a recipe for aneurysms galore.
(Also, because I totally had to big ups my homies in Anu Beginning. HBD, P.J. — new vid is swank.) Post ‘em if ya got ‘em, Agonistas.
Reaching back a ways into the past here, but I recently picked up a copy of Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen and I am loving how fresh it still sounds 42 years later. Leon Russell in the green top hat is a bonus, as well….
Bob owns Late Night:
Awesomesauce cover, also from Letterman:
Bonus: The original, noted for posterity (also, because Bob squeezes out sparks and sets the motherfucker on fire — godDAYUM):
from waaaayyy back.
Tod Rundgren’s first band (also from ‘waaayyyy back):
EOM
Bonus: Grohl where he truly belongs (ie, fanboy heaven, pounding and thrashing away in blissful oblivion):
(The 411.)
A beautiful video by Paganmaestro and song/tribute to Mickey Mantle by Tom Russell.
“When God starts throwing change-ups You can’t swing with fame or wealth. If I’d known I was gonna live this long I’d a taken better care of myself”
I really, really need to pick up Jane Leavy’s recent bio of The Mick (background, interview, excerpt).
from Leavy’s Mantle bio (trigger warning for descriptions of childhood sexual abuse).
Go on, don’t smile – I dare ya.
Cheesy video, but I love the song. I heard it on Deep Tracks on Sirius XM about a week ago and I can’t stop playing it on my iPod now…..
but Odds, a woefully under-appreciated yet influential Canadian power-pop powerhouse from the ’90s.
Original vid (feat members of Kids in the Hall):
‘Wendy Under The Stars’ is still one of my fav homegrown singles of all time:
Odds – Wendy Under the Stars by Odds on Grooveshark
Billy sounds so good with a full band.
Sucker MCs have been SERVED:
“The great humanistic and historical task of the oppressed is to liberate themselves and their oppressors as well” ~ Paulo Freire
My bad, Matt.
on which Heterosexual Man appears is called Bedbugs, so perhaps there was some associative confusion happening.
Nothing – it’s all in perfect working order.
Here’s one of my wife’s favorites: visuals by autistic illustrator Jeremy Floerchinger, music by the Irish Rovers.
And here’s one of mine:
When a lady asked “What do you wear under the kilt?”
“Lady, I’m a mon o few words. Gie me your han.”
Poetry is the only way we can talk about what is beyond language.
