"The Sporting Life" by The Decemberists: [Me: You were singing along to it!] Yeah, I owned this record, but it feels like music made for an NPR Tiny Desk concert. The Bo Diddley beat can be in every Bo Diddley song and "Lust for Life" and a bunch of Stooges songs then gets to this song, about being a wimp. [Me: That wasn't funny at all. OH: Sorry.]
"All St. Day" by ...: They're not inventive enough to be Fugazi and don't have enough Stooges in them to be the Hot Snakes, so they carve out this middle ground with effects pedals, signifying unhinged rock music without being unhinged. I had a couple of their records, but I thought, "This music makes me want to listen to better records." A lot of music like that is my favorite music in the world, but it is to the bands I like what Domino's is to pizza. Domino's is good in that it reminds me of pizza.
"Lola" by The Kinks: I love the song. Even if there were no lyrics and he hummed the melody, it would be a badass rock song. But the lyrics are clever, being transgressively pervy but also really gentle and accepting. It's a coming of age story in a song, but he came of age with a transgendered person. What's not to love about the song? He has a great attitude. I understand the Davies are probably not the greatest people, fine. Anybody born before 1950 is going to have some troubling ****. I don't want to know what my dad thinks about this ****. But it's just a jam. What a run the Kinks had. They had a run maybe just a pip or two lower than the Beatles. Maybe. Maybe better.
"La Villa Strangiato" by Rush: I'll listen...to...a Rush song. I will. [We arrive at our destination; more to come later.]
