Memorial Day… we remember the great songs of yesteryears…

It’s a long weekend. Not that it matters much to me. It’s just another weekend. And I don’t get mail on Monday. Pfft. Ahh wells. Here are some good old songs to remember.

Sheila E.- Hollyrock

Sister Nancy- Bam Bam

Otis Redding- I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now) (Live At Montery Pop Festival)

Sugarcubes- Hit

Simon & Garfunkel- El Condor Pasa

And a video. Classic video. One my most favorite songs ever. I know, I know. It’s cheesy. But, sooooooooo gooooooood.

Long songs for long days…

Slacker. Slacker. Slacker.

Yes.

That’s me. I should just set a “post now” alarm on my cellphone. It’ll help remind me.

Kashmere Stage Band- All Praises

Dirty Dozen Brass Band- Cissy Strut

Sufjan Stevens- You Are The Blood

Alright, the video below is definitely not something I would normally listen to, but for some reason, I like the song a lot. I just have no idea what they are saying since I don’t speak spainish. So, if anyone can translate, that would be awesome.

Asaf is cool and there needs to be more psychedelic dolphin art in the world

Literally EVERY song that Asaf sends me is great. I’m a little intimidated by his music savvy. I can just casually mention something that strikes me, like, *”we’re eating up all the fish in the sea,” and within a matter of minutes he has an incredible song that speaks to my fleeting thought or mood or whatever. The kid’s good.

So last song I got from him was Judee Sill’s, Jesus Was A Cross Maker. It’s a beautiful 70’s Cali folk tune. Judee Sill was one of the first musicians signed to Geffen’s Asylum label (Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Brown, Tom Waits…). She died of a heroin overdose in the late 70’s and kind of faded into obscurity.

Judee Sill – Jesus Was A Cross Maker

Fleet Foxes does a nice cover of her song Crayon Angels, on Black Cab Sessions.

Here’s another great song from Asaf:
Scott Walker – The Old Man’s Back Again

And here’s some dolphin art:

*How do you like my subliminal do-gooding? I slipped that Seafood Watch link in there all sly-styles. I know it kind of goes against our whole music sharing code, but I saw The Cove not too long ago and it had a pretty big impact on me. It’s a documentary about  dolphin genocide in Japan. The filmmakers, who put themselves in the movie, are a little too proud of themselves, and the whole ‘set-up’ is a little to set-up, but it raised a lot of important questions about our fishing practices . Click on the ‘fish’  link above and you can download a guide to safe, sustainable seafood.

Being home all day sucks…

I have 50 bucks in my bank account. I just sit at home. So, since that is definitely not an excuse to share music, I need to start sharing every day. Here’s some choons.

Michael Zapruder’s Rain Of Frogs- Ads For Feelings (I love the flute in this song.)

Discovery- Osaka Loop Line

Deer Tick- Long Time
