The Selectors - Pleading For Your Love

Medicine Head - Rising Sun

May 16th? Feels like it's time to throw a couple of ice cold thirty packs of Stroh's in the back of the pickup truck, don jean shorts and no shirt, and head for the gorge with some Medicine Head on the box.

Del Jones - Vibe-ing Theme

More Duaneology for your Wednesday.

I'm sure this riff has many antecedents, but I'm reminded of this.

If you like a nice hi-hat-to-ride-cymbal climate change, see 0:56 and following.

Gap Dream - 58th St. Fingers

Allow me to be the 19th music blog to post this song, but presumably the first to note that the guitar line reminds him of this, while the synth ostinato (look it up, bitches) reminds him of what kicks in at 0:44 in this?

Lots more Gap Dream music available here. I will take this link down in a day.

Extra - Enjoy

Enjoy.

Burano And His Gypsy Caravan - Good Time Girl

I might not be posting this if not for the note that the lead Moog player ends his phrase with at 1:15.

Neil Young - The Bridge

Joe Henderson - Tres Palabras

It's feeling powerfully like summer nights are on their way back, so here's to them!

Soft Rock - Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey

An instrumental version, so you can sing along with the choruses, as Big B is wont to do, when he has a drop taken.

The Sopwith Camel - Fazon

One of my New Year's resolutions was to not post any more music with wah-chicka-wah-style funk rhythm guitar in it, but for soundscapes this pillowy, I make an exception.

Chris Robison - I'm Gonna Stay With My Baby Tonight

Special thanks to Wombletunes for this one.

Wizzard - See My Baby Jive

From an era when 3-minute pop songs were sometimes 5 minutes long (c.f. Tyrannosaurus Rex, "Hot Love", which clocks in at 4:23, and of which this is a lineal descendant). I'm mainly posting this for the melisma at 1:04.

Beautiful Zion Choir - Let's Ride To The Mountain Top

More Duaneology while I'm waiting for records in the mail. The organist in the right channel is raging pretty hard...

all-in-one zip file

Featuring music from six continents, and dedicated to the people of Japan. I'm going to Ireland for two weeks, but when I get back... IT'S ON.

The Sir Douglas Band: Nitty Gritty

Procol Harum - Grand Hotel

New York Dolls: Looking For A Kiss (Studio Demo)

Dana Gillespie - Andy Warhol

I never noticed the melody of the verses in this tune until I heard this version. The chorus here sounds a touch more like Heart than I would wish, but c'est la vie. Good for a rainy November Thor's-day.
