Midnight on the Interstate – Trampled By Turtles Saw these guys in May in Philly. So rocking. Check them out… And also Dead Man Winter (lots of crossover in terms of band members)
Wildfire – Mandolin Orange a real slow burn jam, even slower than mid-tempo, and some real interesting story telling behind it…
Cure for Pain – Morphine think we all could use a little cure for pain…
Sunday Roast – Courtney Barnett a gentle slow burn that really builds by the end…
You’ll Never Walk Alone – Gerry and the Peacemakers YNWA Liverpool Football Club – This is their song. The initials are on their kits, warm-ups, etc. My brother Michael and I follow them closely. He hasn’t been able to speak after 4 brain surgeries, but the 2nd to the last thing he told me was…
Always – World Party Last one for this year, Always by World Party, aka Carl Wallenger. A number of years ago he had a brain tumor removed. He’s still among us and still writing. So much about this tune astounds me. The title, the song’s storyline, the mid-tempo groove. Always…Always…Always… I’ve always loved this scene,…
xmas 2017 setlist Hey All – Hope this finds you well and in good spirits. This is it – the xmas download – on Christmas Eve no less. I was a bit busy this year – but this was something I’ve been giving serious attention to. It took a bit more time to compile…
Teen Age Riot – Sonic Youth Yeah – I was a teenager when this came out – it still rocks and I still feel like jumping around when it comes on…
Gigantic – The Pixies If I was in charge of music for movie soundtracks – I’d reserve this for a credits roll as the main characters walked away into the sunset…
I Got A Name – Gordon Lightfoot Love this tune – especially when driving – reminds me of so many road trips undertaken and those planned.
The Wonder of You – Elvis Presley Well you know Mom was a huge Elvis fan. I’d like to write more – I really would – its getting late – I’ve got to get done…
Homeward Bound – Simon & Garfunkel Speaking of strong women – Rosemary LeCompte is a solid fixture in this category. My mom’s only sister, she is always there, always. And aside from having the ability to whistle like her father and palm you a twenty dollar from her uncles – she has been so much…
Statesboro Blues – Taj Mahal We lost Butch Trucks this year (self inflicted gun shot) and Greg Allman (fucking cancer). The story goes that he heard this Taj Mahal album – brought it to his brother Duane who was recovering from a motorcycle accident and not in a great mood. Greg was kicked out of…
Don’t Let Me Down – The Beatles John Lennon wrote this for Yoko Ono. Love this version and the one below. Powerful. …don’t let me down… None of you have – thanks for being there…
He Ain’t Heavy…He’s My Brother – The Hollies Yeah – so a good one from the 70s. We all need to carry someone at some point and sometimes get carried – maybe not physically – but – well you know what I mean. Mom carried everyone and showed us how. And I’ve seen the people…
