Kenny Ball - Midnight in Moscow
Good morning.
Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet
Etta James - At Last
Because Sunday evening calls for something other than 9/10ths of my music library.
I’m From Barcelona - Always Spring
Girl Talk - Bodies Hit The Floor
I re-listened to his first two albums today, and while my opinion on them hasn’t changed, this track stood out. Probably because it’s the most like his last three albums and has only a minimal amount of the distorted digital noise that plagues his early work.
Death Cab For Cutie - Home Is A Fire
It’s kinda got a Such Great Heights by The Postal Service thing goin’ on.
Colbie Caillat - Brighter Than The Sun
Catchy pop song is catchy.
Sublime - Doin’ Time
“Doin’ Time” is a loose cover of “Summertime” by George Gershwin, composed for the opera Porgy and Bess. The track heavily samples a cover of “Summertime” by jazz flautist Herbie Mann, a live bossa nova version from his album Herbie Mann at the Village Gate. The band originally recorded the song with the lyrics “doin’ time and the livin’s easy”. In order to release the song using the Gershwin sample, the band had to agree to use the line “summertime” instead of “doin’ time”. However, the song was already recorded with the “doin’ time” lyric, and lead singer Bradley Nowell had recently died of a heroin overdose. The lyric was re-recorded by Sublime’s friend/producer Michael Happoldt singing “summertime”. It is this version of the song that appears on Sublime’s self-titled album.
Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun
Death Cab for Cutie - You are a Tourist
And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it’s time to go
And define your destination
There’s so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It’s plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
