Hot. Love, from their Myspace page:
Jasmyn Burke - yodeller
Ryan Mounsey - sweeper
Jesse Frank Matthews - tree cutter
Rattail - “Go Green”
Sometimes the most perfect moment of my day is when I fall in love with a song at first listen.
Wait til you hear the record. Rattail are gonna be big.
Sleater-Kinney - The Ballad Of A Ladyman
All Hands On The Bad One - a great record:
This album has attitude. It has soul. It’s raw and violent and catchy and seductive all at once. It’s angry and sexy and beautiful. It has a title track that swings with 60s girl group euphoria and no-futurist punk rock desperation. It has a song called “Milkshake And Honey” that evokes enough vicious sarcasm, backhanded angst, and sexual frustration to make Patti Smith sound like Pat Boone. It has “You’re No Rock ‘N’ Roll Fun,” which is pure rock ‘n’ roll fun. It has “The Swimmer” and it has “Leave You Behind,” both of which are redemptively gorgeous. It has guitars and drums that swoop and swerve and screech and croon and rumble and rattle. Amazon Reviews
One of my favorite album covers, and albums
“one of the most intimately personal and bittersweet singer-songwriter collections I’ve ever heard: twelve absolutely exquisite compositions, mostly despairing songs of unrequited love, barely leavened with a couple of gently evangelical, faintly optimistic near-hymns” - Rising Storm
The B-52’s - Mesopotamia
If I were a DJ, I would just play this tune on repeat all night.

Pete Seeger - Waist Deep in the Big Muddy
Soon even a tall man will be over his head.
heard this song on fresh air. Seeger performed it in 1967 on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, but CBS censored the song from broadcast because of its criticism of the war and the Johnson administration. under pressure CBS gave in and allowed Seeger to return and perform the song again for broadcast in February, 1968.
Big Star - Try Again
Lord I’ve been trying to be what i should
Lord I’ve been trying to do what i could
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I’ll try again
