Billy Bragg – You Woke Up My Neighbourhood (1991)

With Michael Stipe and Peter Buck of REM.

Falling into Alt Country or Country Rock territory, this tune was from Bragg's Don't Try This At Home album, his attempt at a more commercial sound and reach a wider audience, but unfortunately it didn't sell any better.

Really like this album
The album got a buzz in the rock press at the time with the critics, but that attention didn't translate to increased popularity for Billy Bragg.

I need to give a relisten to the rest of the tracks on this LP, as offhand I don't remember them.
 
Danny O'Keefe - Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues (1971)

Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Ya play around ya lose your wife
Ya play too long you lose your life

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues


 
Released 30 years ago yesterday!

 
Found this CD single in my closet. Jeffrey Gaines was quasi relevant in the early 90s.

This was the single . . . Headmasters of Mine. His most notable release was the live B side, a cover of Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes (can't find his initial recording . . . this one isn't as inspiring as the first one).
 

Hard to get better than Insomium for modern metal

Depeche Mode - Comatose (2001)

🎶 Here I believe
Dreams never deceive🎶

From the Exciter album which has been described as "The perfect late night chill record"

From the YouTube comments:

Simply brilliant. I understand why most of the older, classic synth-pop loving Depeche Mode fans couldn't really connect to this album, it has a more modern abstract, experimental, IDM-influenced production thanks to long time Björk collaborator and LFO member Mark Bell.


 
This is what they would have once called a pretty little ditty, I think, although these guys were too cool to even deign to call you square.

Moby Grape - "8:05"

Moby Grape - "8:05"



Moby Grape has been called "The greatest band you've probably never heard of." Considered among the best of the San Francisco 60's Fillmore scene, they had bad luck and bad promotion from their record label (which released 5 singles at the same time from their first LP, killing the chances of any of them, since record stations didn't know what to play).

Saw them in 1995 at The Coconut Teaser in Hollywood, the original band minus Don Stephenson and Skip Spence. They reformed for a tour to help out bassist Bob Mosley who was having financial difficulties (was reportedly homeless). Great show.

They did 8:05 and pretty much all the good songs from their first LP and "Murder In My Heart For The Judge" from the second.

I read that Jerry Miller wrote 8:05 after taking his then girlfriend to the airport (don't know if she was leaving for good).

Sweet. That sounds very cool. They did have a homeless member in the band. I think he might have a CD on their official site referencing busking. One of them did. I was reading Joan Didion introductions, of all people, and I guess I went down the path of Haight for a few nights. (I didn't buy the books because I'm not a rich man, so we make do with what we have—I might change my mind tonight if I get bored.)

Not the nicest nor fairest story at all, but that song is quite beautiful, IMO.
 
Okay, so this is where I'm at right now. Let's go!

The Humpers - "Drunk Tank"


Oh, I'm personally still sober, by the way. No coded message here.
 
"A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet"

Vacation- The Go Go's. You know you love it!

 
Wire from the album countdown sent me to 1978, AND I CAN'T GET OUT!

Love some Dr Hook. Shel Silverstein wrote some great songs for them, but this one might be my favorite.

Last Morning-Dr Hook

 
Jellyfish - Ghost at Number One (1993 Later With Jools Holland)

It's like The Beach Boys, Electric Light Orchestra, Queen and 10cc all rolled up into one.


Sorry, Spotify version of this live performance is not available.
 
Love this song!

Try Try Try

by the Smashing Pumpkins

Just saw them in June @ Irving Plaza in the City.

Amazing!

 
Mud in Your Eye
Nils Lofgren

First time I saw him was in a HS gym. He was running across the stage doing cartwheels while singing and playing.

I saw him once in 1976 at The Roxy in L.A. touring off the Cry Tough album.

Great show, did most of that album plus a song from his debut LP, Nils Lofgren, a cover of The Byrds Goin' Back. (which was a Brill Building tune written by Carole King and then husband Gerry Goffin).
