Recently, after enjoying yet another Thursday night quiz victory, I was sitting on the patio of The Old Monk and I heard a song that sounded familiar. I finally figured it out, that it was Midlake’s Roscoe. But it sounded different. Did they have an extended dance mix? The next day I scoured the internet* and found this version of Roscoe. I’ve been listening the shit out of it ever since.
* A made one google search.
Back by popular demand is Clarence Carter with what has to be the best Christmas song ever.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Holy crap! John Grant and Midlake.

There is a small chance I appear in this video since some of it was at a concert I attended.

It’s the return of Music Monday. And since I was stranded in Vermont last week due to Hurricane Sandy, I could think of no better way to bring back Music Monday then to feature my favorite Vermont resident I’m not related to and her song This Hurricane Tornado Loves You.

Has this been a months’ long long-con leading up to this payoff? Perhaps, but if not…
On the next Music Monday….
On the five year anniversary of the event that caused my favorite local band to stop making music, the saddest of all Sorta songs.
Since they didn’t play it at House of Blues Friday, I’ll go ahead and play it here. Sorry about the poor quality. It was the best I could find.

This is my favorite song from one of my all-time favorite acts – nerdy funsters They Might Be Giants. Please pay close attention to how quintessentially 80s this video is. From the Retard-Dance-Party gyrations of the singer and his hair, the inexplicable cuts to old guys playing guitar, you can almost hear Martha Quinn intro-ing this song.

One of the coolest experiences of my life was being at this very concert in which Van Morrison played the entire Astral Weeks album in entire entirety in the Hollywood Bowl.
If you’re interested, I’m the dude standing in the back of the aisle on the right side.

The best twelve minute song you’ll listen to today.
On the next Music Monday
The subconscious inspiration for Music Monday is the weekly segment on The Adam Carolla Podcast in which former Rolling Stone writer David Wild and Adam trade great songs that never got any radio airplay. This past week, David’s offering was Sugar’s “If I Can’t Change Your Mind”. Upon hearing that, I thought, “Hey! I love that song.”
In fact I love all things Bob Mould* – from Husker Du to Sugar to his solo work.

*It’s almost like I’ve presented this song before.
Still South Dakota. Found a cute campground that most of the year is a hopping family holiday retreat. But it’s cold and snowy and latish Oc...
