Al Green - Lay it Down

I'm having a pretty smooth Tuesday afternoon.

The Wars End - Rancid

For Timmy

Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - Hearts on Fire

Happy Fathers' Day

Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - Return of a Grievous Angel

Happy Fathers' Day

Sonia Dada - Lover

The country version of this song is on the radio like every five seconds now but this is so much better I just had to post it.

Beulah - Ballad Of The Lonely Argonaut

Marshall Tucker Band - Heard it in a Love Song

Reminds me of my Dad

Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall

The Cure - Why Can't I Be You

Prince - When Doves Cry

X - We're Desperate

Enjoy your day.

Tanya Tucker - Love Me Like You Used To

Oh boy this song makes me sad

Miley Cyrus - See You Again

I totally admit to loving this song. I even told Ross the Boss -- that's how honest I'm being about it. Ready to take the hits.

Dr.Dre & Eminem - Forgot About Dre

You know what I've always found amusing? The fact that Dr Dre raps about not being a pot smoker on Straight Outta Compton.

Odetta - The Midnight Special

Bruce Springsteen - Born In The U.S.A.

The boss.

Amos Lee - Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight

Nice and mellow for your Saturday morning.

Jerry Reed - East Bound and Down

Good GOD I love this song.

Ray LaMontagne - Trouble

What can I say - I'm a Joe Cocker fan.

Misfits - Horror Business

It's this kind of day.

Guns N' Roses - Paradise City

Rocked out to this in my car today with the windows down and the volume way up. Unlike me, it never gets old.

Hole - Malibu

She's such a hack but I like the music all the same.

The Roots - Guns Are Drawn

Buenos dias, gente de Los Angeles.

Rjd2 - Ghostwriter

This is the song they should play when I walk onstage to collect my award.

Tegan and Sara - You Wouldn't Like Me

Gorillaz - Feel Good, Inc.

Rocked this on the plane back from Costa Rica -- 2005 style

Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)

Everything in Costa Rica either sounds like this or is weird trance music.

Cat Power - Free

The title doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I'm on vacation.

Johnny Lee - Lookin' For Love

From one of my favorite movies.

Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London

LMFAO - I'm In Miami Bitch

This one's not suitable for children. But my GOD do mine like the radio edit.

Steve Miller Band - Take The Money And Run

My son's current fave

Steve Earle - Guitar Town

Randy Newman - I Love L.A.

This song is seriously awesome.

Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining

A good one for the kiddies.

Prince - Raspberry Beret

She walked in through the out door

Marilyn Manson - The Dope Show

La Roux - Bulletproof

A Happy Friday to you!

Aretha Franklin - Cry Like A Baby

There are a number of songs on this blog that I can listen to on repeat for a really long time -- this is one of them.

The Band - Atlantic City

One of my all-time favorites.

Billy Idol - Catch My Fall

I used to have a Billy Idol poster above my bed, and I kissed it every night before I went to sleep.

Eric Clapton - Layla

I will admit I was into Eric Clapton in high school, but that was a long time ago and I turn this off every time it comes on the radio. Not quite as fast as I turn off Santana, but pretty damn quickly. Last night I was doing the dishes and I couldn't turn it off, and it turns out, there's a reason it's always on those old guys' Top 20 lists.



P.S. All of the versions on YouTube that actually include video are of live performances in which Clapton has incorporated a saxophone and keyboard synthesizer into the final "ballad" part of the song and they all sound like background music for Demi Moore kissing someone in "St. Elmo's Fire."

Musical Youth Pass the Dutchie

Happy Sunday!

Rolando Villazón + Plácido Domingo - Au fond du temple saint ("Les pêc...

This is my favorite opera song ever.

Electric Light Orchestra - Don't Bring Me Down

Another fave from my childhood, although unlike the creepy Dolly Parton song, this one I still listen to.

Kanye West - Gold Digger ft. Jamie Foxx

Good morning to you!

Fugazi - Waiting Room

I have no idea why this has been in my head all morning. It's absurd to think that it might be because I'm waiting to hear about kindergarten for my five year-old.

Cat Power - Could We

I'm not posting these so you can watch the videos (and this one isn't even a video). I just can't figure out how to post audio that I own.

The Replacements - Bastards Of Young

Thanks to Tim McG for the introduction.

English Beat - Save It For Later

This album was my junior high soundtrack.

Paperboy - Ditty

1993, represent!

Madonna - Into the Groove

Awesome, still.

Alabama - Love In the First Degree

Don't knock it just 'cause it's Alabama. This song is rad.

Dolly Parton - Me and Little Andy

This was one of my favorite songs when I was little. My mom had it on a 45 and my sister and I would listen spellbound. It has the same effect on my kids now.

Although I don't remember thinking it was quite this creepy when Dolly did the little girl's voice.
