Le Baron: Le Sifflet Du Baron

Thanks to the irrepressible kava chim for this. Was this the theme song to something, and if so, what?

For more from the Baron under a different alias, see here.

The King Cole Trio: Nature Boy

Composed and hand-delivered to King Cole by the enigmatic eden ahbez (pictured above with his family).

The Grateful Dead:
Help On The Way / Slipknot!
Franklin's Tower

The Soft Rocks: Black Magic

I wanted to do my own rip of this but my turntables have developed a strange malady (random slight skips every couple of minutes... is that a "calibration" problem? Anyone??). So enjoy this rip for now, courtesy of 20JFG, and stay tuned for the official AD rip after I fix these fucking turntables.

I guess this is a re-edit? Any info on the source material would be greatly appeciated.

By the way, there's an Internet rumour going around that the vocalist here is Stevie Nicks. Beyond the fact that this is a Caucasian woman singing about witchcraft, I hear no resemblance.

The Cars: Double Life

Cross Country: Just A Thought

Written and sung by Mitch Margo; also featuring Jay Siegel and Phil Margo (all formerly of The Tokens). From their self-titled LP.

So autumnal.

Arthur Somerset & The Turkeys Of Sloane: O.K. Yah! (Henry's Song)

This is a Tedward joint. Something in the lyrics resonated with me.

We must get with it, relax and really live it.

Beatles: Step Inside Love/Los Paranoias

A snapshot of what the lads were up to one afternoon forty Septembers ago. Is that J.L. on wacky percussion? You do the math.

Say goodbye to Summer, kids.

While searching for a photo for this post I discovered this amazing blog. A few hours disappeared reading it and following its many links. Even if you don't care for today's live post, RealCoolTime's blog is worth a read.

Just had the privilege of seeing Levon Helm in Charlottesville. They played this, with vocals by the guitarist who bore a resemblance to Elvis Costello. What a song to begin an album.
