Sometimes you just gotta take a break.
He was known as Superlungs for his amazing voice. Here is one of my favorite cover versions of all time, Reid doing Cher(!)’s son ‘Bang Bang’:

One of the most underrated 60s-70s British blues rock dudes, Terry Reid passed away today. He was invited to join Led Zeppelin, but turned the offer down because of prior commitments and suggested Robert Plant instead.

And in all the talk about Lehrer’s recent passing, I haven’t seen this song mentioned yet:

Oh! How could I forget - the first time I heard the Habenera from Carmen, it was being sung by an orange:

Every once in a while I am reminded that this piece of perfect weirdness was put out into the world and it makes me incredibly happy:

Jim wrote this song a few months ago. Our friend Gary Louris heard it and was inspired to write a response. He reached out to Jim to ask if we could re-record the track to include an American perspective. We hope you enjoy “We Used to Be the Best of Friends - Part 2”. youtu.be/gORTbRC6KG0?...

Happy Canada Day to our northern neighbors!
Enjoy this tune, the grooviest ode to public transportation you will ever hear. The video is a nice time capsule of 1983 Toronto:

Adorable black cat sitting on a very comfy mat
I bought a cooling mat for the cat last week in preparation for the heat wave. Every day that it was hotter than Satan’s asscrack, that little stinker ignored his mat and spent his time in the hottest spot behind the tv. It’s cooled down considerably this evening-where do I find the little goober?

And a live version of ‘Pensamiento”:

This 1973 album didn’t do well and the band started to fall apart soon after, due to drug and interpersonal issues. But I like this album- solid 70s rock with two really good Latin-tinged songs. ‘Isn’t It About Time’ is probably the most well-known song off the album:

Album cover for ‘Down the Road’ by Manassas. Album cover is a bunch of 70s looking dudes around a table in an overgrown field. Stephen Stills is slightly off to the left.
Saturday morning is perfect for listening to vinyl while tidying up.

Self released records always fascinate me. If you are lucky, you can find some of the most interesting music
If you look reeeeeally closely, you can see Paul’s chipped front tooth in the video(he had a minor moped accident a few months before) - which was the germ of the whole ‘Paul is dead’ conspiracy:

Everything is still pretty shitty rn, but hey! It’s Paul McCartney’s birthday! Celebrate by listening to the sweet bass playing on ‘Paperback Writer’ (do yourself a favor and use headphones)!
