Vinyl-O-Matic (Will McCollum)

Thirsty Forest Animals [00:25] "Nape" Southeast of Saturn: Michigan Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-629 2020 All of this, yes. When I lived in NYC in the 90s, so many of my friends were from Michigan that it's amazing some stayed around to develop these sounds. Fauna [05:26] "To Ecstasy" Southeast of Saturn, Vol. 2: Midwest Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-750 2022 I also knew a lot of folks from Minneapolis, where Fauna hail from. This track is from their 1992 release Everafter. Glen Campbell [09:23] "Southern Nights" Southern Nights Capitol SO-11601 1977 Glen takes an excellent turn with Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" (https://youtu.be/mCscZ2tPFmI?si=0lfs02BFzVpS3aIf) originally recorded in 1975. Glen heard that version and was reminded of his childhood in Arkansas. This single made it to number 1 on the charts, and the album made it as high as 22 on the Billboard 200. You can see Glen playing one of his weirdo Ovation electric 12-strings here on The Midnight Special (https://youtu.be/A8VgyiMAJ9k?si=qdJzW9C6zMMHfQ70). Hawkwind [12:24] "Sonic Attack" Space Ritual United Artists Records UA-LA120-H2 1973 Epically epic space jams with interspersed spoken words as exampled here with "Sonic Attack" written by Michael Moorcock and recited by James Calvert. The sleeve art by Barney Bubbles is a thing of majesty. If space jams are your thing and you've never heard this album, seek it out. Amazingly, this album briefly dented the Billboard 200, making it to number 179. The album jacket is quite a work of art. If you'd like to see the full artwork, join me over on Patreon for video liner notes (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill). Depeche Mode [17:24] "Dreaming of Me" Speak & Spell Sire SRK 3642 1981 What a difference a decade makes (as compared to Hawkwind)? The debut album by the boys from Basildon, and the only one recorded with Vince Clark (before he moved on to Yaz and subsequently Erasure). This album also just cracked the Billboard 200 here in the US, making it to number 192. This single did actually make it into the US Billboard dance charts, going as high as 47. The English Beat [21:01] "Sooner or Later" Special Beat Service I.R.S. Records SP 75069 1982 (1987 reissue) Everyday someone is born who has never heard "Sooner or Later". Perhaps you are one of those people who has never heard "Sooner or Later". If so, enjoy! This guitar sounds (and this video (https://youtu.be/c-7lBq0zuSM?si=18igG60AbOt239Kf)) have been permentantly etched into my musical brain thanks to the early days of MTV. John Zorn [24:36] "Hico Killer - Long Mile to Houston" Spillane Elektra Nonesuch 9-79172-1 1987 Gritty road story from master blues musician Albert Collins, tinged with Zorn & Co's trademark oddballness. Con Funk Shun [29:19] "Juicy" Spirit of Love Mercury SRM-13806 1980 The Bay Area's very own Con Funk Shun. If you've got a funk/soul album with a track called "Juicy" you know you've got to listen to it. Or at least, I do. Written by the band's guitarist and vocalist Michael Vernon Cooper. The Wonderland Singers [34:07] "Bats in the Belfry" Spooky Halloween Wonderland Records LP-293 1974 They just don't make organ music like they used to, and probably for good reason. At least the cover art is cool. Ustalost [35:20] "III" The Spoor of Vipers Gilead Media RELIC82 2017 Some blackened heaviness from this solo project by Will Skarstad of Yellow Eyes. For those of you who appreciate this style of music, seek out A Wandering Path: The Story of Gilead Media (https://youtu.be/gTZ1HcDtW-U?si=_ann3_mOUWXm2pCq) on a streaming service near you. Missing Persons [40:49] "Bad Streets" Spring Session M Capitol Records ST-12228 1982 This album made a strong impression on my when it came out and I still find myself thinking about it. For this episode's selection, I took a look at the track listings and immediately heard this song in my head. The album made it to number 42 on the Hot 100 and generated 4 singles: "Words (https://youtu.be/IasCZL072fQ?si=VO4X1DpThnxhHYup)", "Desitnation Unknown (https://youtu.be/1WDly1Oc_P4?si=5j2wgoC34DdwEtoU)", "Windows (https://youtu.be/v0vdk3YOvMM?si=31AgmgVzkx6cUeou)", and "Walking in L.A. (https://youtu.be/80WyBxo0Hto?si=DjM4k640jKUOTkhV)". Graham Parker and the Rumour [44:30] "Local Girls" Squeezing Out the Sparks Arista AB 4223 1979 Another heavy rotation video (https://youtu.be/taXvBivGcMo?si=wUPJk-7GLYH8XtUu) from the early days of MTV, despite being made in 1979. The album attempts to explore English suburbia. The album cover features some great typography by Gerard Huerta. Amazing Rhythm Aces [49:48] "Third Rate Romance" Stacked Deck ABC Records ABCD-913 1975 Some fun country-inflected rock from these Memphis gents, sounding almost perfectly mid-70s in a good way. The album reached 11 on the country charts and 120 on the Billboard 200. This single also hit 11 on the country charts and 14 on the pop chart. The band even made an appearance on the second season of Austic City Limits (https://youtu.be/pLz6nIvqB2c?si=nFcMK2tAEEfFjI8n). Love Barry "Byrd" Burton's finger pickin on this. Sly and the Family Stone [53:11] "You Can Make It if You Try" Stand! Epic BN 26456 1969 The mighty Sly Stone and family take a funky turn at this song originally recorded by Gene Allison (https://youtu.be/xiPI7d1y2Co?si=bo1XG2515eGJoYnn) and also covered by the Rolling Stones (https://youtu.be/jz4VO_NiY24?si=1OhUnqa0lAa5JEwM). Fans of Primal Scream will also recognize the tail end of the track that precedes this album closer. Jacksons [56:49] "Blame It on the Boogie" Star Fire Ronco R 3200 1980 As seen on TV! 18 original hits by 18 original artists! A compilation of hits, mostly from 1979. In honor of the late Tito Jackson, I had to go with this uptempo Jacksons single from 1978. Wet Willie [01:00:00] "Keep on Smilin'" Star Trackin' '76 Ronco R 1976-2 1976 As seen on TV! 20 original hits by 20 original artists! While 8 year old me would have been extremely excited about the "Theme from S.W.A.T.", I decided to go with Mobile AL's own Wet Willie. I could have also gone with Abba's "Waterloo" but loyal listeners already know how much I love Abba. Music behind the DJ: "Charade" by Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra

Lancelot Link and the Evolution Revolution [08:33] a side: "Sha-La Love You (stereo)" b side: "Sha-La Love You (mono)" ABC Records 11278 1971 Evidently this single was originally intended for The Grass Roots, but instead ended up being used by Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.

Fun fact: The Guess Who were a nom de consumerisme trying to cash in on The Beatles craze. They were in fact called Chad Allan & The Expressions, but Guess Who stuck. Bobby Freeman [35:32] a side: "Shame on You Miss Johnson" b side: "Need Your Love" Josie 45-844 1958 San Francisco's own! Perhaps best known for penning and recording "Do You Want to Dance". Dr. Hook [40:00] a side: "Sharing the Night Together" b side: "You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance" Capitol Records 4621 1978 Sliding into the Regal Beagle booth like...

The Turtles [00:23] "She'd Rather Be with Me" Happy Together White Whale WW 114 1967 Sure I could have gone with the smash hit title track, I dig this side two lead off that was also a hit for The Turtles, peaking at number 3 on the Hot 100. Also, charity is out of sight (https://youtu.be/wCqLBNzb5Lc). Miss Kittin [02:33] "Happy Violentine (Marco Passarani San Valentino Mix)" Happy Violentine NovaMute 12NOMU140 2005 Another quality 12" from Miss Kittin.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers [11:43] "A Thing About You" Hard Promises Backstreet Records BSR-5160 1981 This album came out just in time for my 13th birthday. I've played it almost as much as Damn the Torpedoes over the years. Sebadoh [16:57] "On Fire" Harmacy Sub Pop SP370 1996 Sebadoh's thrid outing with Sub Pop. Desmond Dekker [20:33] "Shanty Town" The Harder They Come (Original Sountrack Recording) Mango SMAS-7400 1972 Some quality rocksteady from the rude boy himself. Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra [23:13] "Harrison: Elegiac Symphony - Tears of the Angel Israfel" Harrison: Elegiac Symphony/Hughes: Cadences for Large Orchestra. Two Conductors, Multisoloists, and Electronic Tape. 1750 Arch Records S-1772 1977 Huh... that b-side sounds really cool. Maybe in Season 7 I'll play all 23:36 of it. Stay tuned!

Don Ho [35:08] "Blue Hawaii" Hawaii's Greatest Hits Reprise Records RS 6418 1970 Fun fact: The Don Ho Fan Club was located in Beverly Hills. Cherry Glazerr [38:02] "Haxel Princess" Haxel Princess Burger Records BRGR520 2014 Title track from one of my favorite albums from 2014, on excellent pink splatter vinyl.

Connie Francis [00:49] "Heartaches by the Number" Country Music, Connie Style MGM E 4079 1962 A little Guy Lombardo-esque, but not bad. Lawrence Welk [03:34] "Slow Poke" Country Music's Great Hits Dot Records DLP 25725 1966 Some pretty great tic-tac baritone guitar going on with some fine accordionship. The Decemberists [05:36] "O Valencia!" The Crane Wife Capitol Records B0025706-01 2016 Quite an epic 10th anniversary release on translucent red vinyl and a blu-ray featuring a live performance at the 9:30 Club from 2006. And a great song (https://youtu.be/BK5860DP78E) to boot. Spike Jones [09:22] "Holiday for Strings" The Craziest Show on Earth G&O Records MF 205/4 1977 Who doesn't love a good singing chicken impression? Pylon [13:21] "Crazy" Crazy DB Records DB 61 1981 Pylon was a bit of an intriguing mystery to me as an REM fan in the 80s. Once I saw Athens GA: Inside Out however, I was hooked! King Woman [16:34] "Manna" Created in the Image of Suffering Relapse Records RR7363R 2017 So heavy, so transcendent. If live performances are ever a thing again, definitely take to opportunity to see King Woman live. Pat Benatar [22:46] "Wuthering Heights" Crimes of Passion Chrysalis CHE 1275  1980 Well of course she would cover Wuthering Heights. And not too shabby either. The Partridge Family [28:08] "One Day at a Time" Crossword Puzzle Bell 1122 1973. Great Wrecking Crew back up here on this number co-penned by the guy who brought us "Talkin' Baseball (https://youtu.be/cZuCxUd9n5w)". The original owner of this album helpfully filled out the crossword puzzle on the cover. In ink! Bananarama [31:05] "Cruel Summer" Cruel Summer London 810 291-1 1984 Yes... yes it is.

Orchestral Manœuvres in the Dark [38:04] "Bloc Bloc Bloc" Crush A&M Records SP 5077 1985 This track is oddly sort of like a mashup between The Smiths and The The. Canseides Ser Sexy [42:31] "Alala" CSS Sub Pop SP 717 2006 The sound of 2006. Ok, a sound of 2006. Bonnie Prince Billy [46:29] "Cursed Sleep" Cursed Sleep Drag City DC316 2006 Oh hey, another sound of 2006. Wymond Miles [51:56] "Passion Plays" Cut Yourself Free Sacred Bones Records SBR-106 2013 Excellent second solo outing from The Fresh & Onlys guiarist. Let's Active [55:18] "Waters Part" Cypress IRS SP70648 1984 Seems like a pretty solid tie-in between the last track and the Pylon track. Classic jangle stuff form Mitch Easter, Faye Hunter and Sara Romweber. Music behind the DJ: "Wichita Lineman" by Joe Reisman and his Orchestra.

Nirvana [00:33] "Scentless Apprentice" In Utero DGC DGC-24607 1993 The one track on In Utero with writing credit to all three band members.

Music behind the DJ: "Holiday for Strings" by Strings Unlimited

The New World Theatre Ochestra [00:22] "After Hours Joint" Honeymoon in Manhattan Somerset P-3000 1958 An approximation of Gershwin, I suppose. Elton John [04:37] "Susie (Dramas)" Honky Château UNI Records 93135 1972 An approximation of The Band, I suppose. Fred Burton [08:01] "There's Going To Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" Honky Tonk Percussion Spin-O-Rama S-8 1958 Honky tonk piano with percussion... with stereo separation.

America [26:10] "A Horse with No Name" America Warner Bros. Records BS2576 1971 Whoops... I guess Your Old Pal Will must've been a little sleepy when he filed this one. But the album cover does say AMERICA and then A Horse with No Name, so he put it into H. Patti Smith [31:28] "Gloria: In Excelsis Deo/Gloria (Version)" Horses Arista AB 4066 1975 One of the finest track one, side ones in rock and roll. Isaac Hayes [37:20] "Hyperbolicsyllablicsesquedalymystic" Hot Buttered Soul Enterprise ENS-1001 1969 How do you follow up a killer rendition Burt Bacharach's "Walk on By"?

Eagles [53:29] "New Kid in Town" Hotel California Asylum Records 7E-1084 1976 What, you thought I was going to play the title track?

The Moody Blues with The London Festival Orchestra [02:52] "The Morning: Another Morning" Days of Future Passed Deram Records DES 18012 1967 I was feeling more AM jaunty than PM epic. Doug Kershaw [06:34] "Swamp Dance" Days of Heaven - The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture Pacific Arts PAC8-128 1979 Scoring primarily done by the late great Ennio Morricone with contributions from Doug Kershaw and Leo Kottke. A great film if you haven't seen it (https://youtu.be/DCd2ruD1jTA). The Dream Syndicate [10:06] "Too Little, Too Late" The Days of Wine and Roses Slash/Ruby Records 1-23844 1982 Kendra Smith on vocals. Pinky & Killers [14:39] "Koi no Kisetsu" De Luxe King SKD 28 1970 It turns out that Koi no Kisetsu (https://youtu.be/KTa_1DOvoeA) is the number 18 best selling single of all time in Japan.

Dead Man Vapor Records 46171-1 1996/2029 Neil, Old Black, a pump organ, and Mr. Farmer and Mr. Depp. Belle and Sebastian [22:09] "Roy Walker" Dear Catastrophe Waitress Rough Trade RTRADELP 080 2003 So man great tracks to choose from.

Death Cheetah [25:03] "Tired Blood" Death Cheetah Self Released trf 001 2017 Excellent slow-build track from Death Cheetah's self-released 2017 album. Coincidentally mastered by Paul Oldham. The Rolling Stones [31:59] "I'm Free" December's Children London Records PS 451 1966 The fifth US release from the Stones.

The Cars [43:29] a side: "Just What I Needed" b side: "Tonight She Comes" Elektra Records 7-69589 1985 Huh, well I'll be damned... "Tonight She Comes" is actually the a-side since this was released for their Greatest Hits album. Oh well. Ah yes, it's all coming back to me now. The Pretenders [51:05] a side: "Kid (stereo)" b side: "Kid (mono)" Sire Records SRE49533 1979 Definitely my favorite Pretenders single. Those James Honeyman-Scott riffs are where it's at.

Clarence Carter [23:24] a side: "Snatching It Back" b side: "Making Love (at the Dark End of the Street)" Atlantic Records 45-2605 1969 Killer a-side and a kind of bizarre b-side cover. The Royal Guardsmen [30:54] a side: "Snoopy vs the Red Baron" b side: "I Needed You" Laurie Records LR 3366 1966 And now a glimpse into Your Old Pal Will's mind. A dream I had once upon a time regarding The 50/50s- There we were. Playing a show in the basement of a library. We had launched into our new cover song, a mashup of The Dream Syndicate’s “The Days of Wine and Roses” and Tears for Fears “Mad World” (here in the waking world, this not our current cover). Just then I spotted someone leaving the show with my copy of The Royal Guardsmen “Snoopy vs The Red Baron” 45. Naturally I had to nab the culprit, so I passed my guitar to that “Max” kid from Roswell to takeover. And now you know why no one cares about your dreams. Snow Angel [35:47] a side: "So Sick So Cool" b side: "We Are Stars" Gabby La La Music 2015 So danged awesome from the wonderful brain of Gabby La La and friends. The Strokes [44:45] a side: "Someday" b side: "Is This It/Alone Together (home recordings)" RCA Records 07863 60623-7 2002 The hot sounds of 2002, when everything old was new again and it was so awesome. For a while. The Box Tops [52:25] a side: "Soul Deep" b side: "(The) Happy Song" Mala 12,040 1969 Super awesome groove, with a mighty fine Alex Chilton-penned b-side. Oddly "Soul Deep" was covered the next year by country crooner Eddy Arnold. Crazy man, crazy. Music behind the DJ: "The Red Baron" by Vince Guaraldi.

Pallbearer [00:24] "Thorns" Heartless Profound Lore Records PFL179LP 2017 Some doomy goodness from the these Little Rock gents. One of my favorite albums from 2017. The Isley Brothers [05:48] "Fight the Power (Part 1 & 2)" The Heat Is On T-Neck PZ 33536 1975 Scorching opener from the Brothers 1975 double platinum album. Thou [11:09] "Into the Marshlands/Clarity" Heathen Howling Mine ORE007 2014 More heaviness, this time by way of Louisiana. Easily one of the best doom albums of the last 10 years. Heaven 17 [19:40] "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" Heaven 17 Arista AL 6606 1982 Sadly, as true today as it was 40 years ago, if not more so. Cheap Trick [23:58] "Reach Out" Heavy Metal - Music from the Motion Picture Full Moon DP-90004/Asylum Records DP-90004 1981 So very 1981 in the best possible way. Roy Thomas Baker produced this excellent Cheap Trick pop rocker co-written by Pete Comita, the bassist who briefly replaced Tom Petesson. Virgil Fox [27:34] "J.S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565" Heavy Organ at Carnegie Hall, Vol. 2 RCA Red Seal ARL1-0477 1974 That's right, Bach orgelwerk set to a light show, oops light experience. No, really. (https://youtu.be/QuOdbVJ0OcU?t=144) Taj Mahal [35:44] "Diving Duck Blues" Heavy Sounds Columbia CS 9952 1970 Compilation for the kids who are into the heavy stuff. This track is a selection from Taj's first album. Swiss Yodel Club [40:03] "Sounds of Switzerland: Wolfsbödeler Yodel Song/Wie Bas Ich Mir Da Obe" Songs from Heidi Disneyland DQ-1327 1968 Yodels recorded via the tin cans and string method? Bloc Party [44:16] "Helicopter (Weird Science Remix featuring Peaches)" Helicopter Dim Mak Records DM095 2006 The sounds of 2006, in a good way. Gravy Train!!!! [50:05] "Burger Baby" Hello Doctor Kill Rock Stars KRS 389 2003 Why yes, of course there's a video (https://youtu.be/PDK8LqsaeJ4). Los Campesinos! [51:55] "Baby I Got the Death Rattle" Hello Sadness Heart Swells HS001/Turnstile 796.A022.010 2011 This is an album that just keeps on giving. I always enjoy putting it on the turntable. Music behind the DJ: "Spinning Wheel" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

Paleophone [mm:ss] a side: "Like Stars" b side: "All I Ever" Cock of the Walk COTW01 2012 Some local tunes, including a b-side that references a band that I know well. Sebadoh [mm:ss] a side: "Limelight" b side: "Dialogue" Joyful Noise Records JNR171 2015 Didn't we all hate high school? A little something for adolescents of all ages out there in listener land. The Monkees [mm:ss] a side: "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" b side: "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" Colgems 66-1004 1967 Yup. Super catchy Neil Diamond tune on the a-side, and an even catchier b-side written by Michael Nesmith. If you poke around enough you can find a version of "Girl I Knew Somewhere" with Michael singing instead of Mickey which I really really like. For those of you who are interested in that sort of thing, check out Michael Nesmith's recent autobiography "Infinite Tuesday" (https://amzn.to/2GFo0p8). The Music Explosion [mm:ss] a side: "Little Bit O'Soul" b side: "I See the Light" Laurie Records LR 3380 1967 Reached the #2 slot on the Hot 100 but was unable to dislodge The Association's "Windy" from #1. Mansfield Ohio's own. Palace Music [mm:ss] a side: "Little Blue Eyes" b side: "The Spider's Dude Is Often There" Drag City Records DC91 1996 A fine little single, perhaps my favorite of the Palace incarnations. Syndicate of Sound [mm:ss] a side: "Little Girl" b side: "You" Bell Records 640 1966 San Jose's own Syndicate of Sound bringing us a well played Nuggets classic (https://youtu.be/mtVq3wCCjxk), and a very groovy b-side. I'll be honest and say that I think the first time I heard this tune was via the Divinyls 1988 rendition with the noun change. Pete Townshend [mm:ss] a side: "A Little Is Enough (stereo)" b side: "A Little Is Enough (mono)" ATCO Records 7312 1980 Indeed, the New Wave-esque pop single from his 1980 album Empty Glass. Not only does this promo single have a stereo and a mono side, but the stereo side label is blue and the mono side is white. Fleetwood Mac [mm:ss] a side: "Little Lies" b side: "Little Lies" Warner Bros. Records 7-28291 1987 A fine little Christine McVie number from their 1987 Tango in the Night album. Indicative of the time, there is actually a Jelly Bean Benitez remix of this on the 12" release of this same single. Music behind the DJ: "Baby Elephant Walk" by Les Brown and His Orchestra.

Queen [00:26] a side: "Killer Queen" b side: "Flick of the Wrist" Elektra Records E-45226 1974 Totally killer. Queen's first foray onto the American charts, reaching #12 on the Hot 100. And it won Freddie Mercury his first Ivor Novello Award. Steve Martin (and the Toot Uncommons) [06:41] a side: "King Tut" b side: "Sally Goodin/Hoedown at Alice's" Warner Bros. Records WBS 8577 1978 The pinnacle of comedy as far as my adolescent self was concerned. Lita Ford [13:44] a side: "Kiss Me Deadly (Special Radio Version)" b side: "Kiss Me Deadly (LP Version)" RCA Records 6866-7 1988 From the promo copy on the back of the sleeve: "If early sales are any indication, she just might be the female Whitesnake." says Bob Bell, New Releases Buyer, Wherehouse Entertainment. Indeed. Dawn [21:46] a side: "Knock Three Times" b side: "Home" Bell Records 938 1970 Yes, the label just says "Dawn". Paul Simon [28:28] a side: "Kodachrome" b side: "Tenderness" Columbia Records 4-45859 1973 I think there's a filter for that. Round Robin [34:58] a side: "Land of a Thousand Dances (The Na Na Song)" b side: "Yea Yea" Domain Records DM 1420 1965 Los Angeles's own dance-craze recordmeister Round Robin. The Mar-Keys [39:59] a side: "Last Night" b side: "Night Before" Satellite S-107 1960 The first house band for Stax records, featuring Charles Axton on sax and Steve Cropper on... second organ. Chic [44:48] a side: "Le Freak" b side: "Savoir Faire" Atlantic Records 3519 1978 According to Nile Rogers, the chorus was originally going to be "Fuck Off" but you can't get a smash radio hit with that kind of title. Music behind the DJ: "Quentin's Theme (from Dark Shadows)" by Joe Reisman and his Orchestra.

Desmond Dekker and The Aces [00:42] a side: "Israelites" b side: "My Precious World" UNI Records 55129 1969 This Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong penned tune became the first reggae single to reach #1 in the UK and actually made it to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Johnny Bond [06:09] a side: "It Only Hurts When I Cry" b side: "The Girl Who Carries the Torch for Me" Starday 45-893 Hmmm. Almost a kind of ska beat going on there. And I think the b-side is certainly taking some liberties (pause for groan). Dwight Yoakam [11:26] a side: "It Only Hurts When I Cry" b side: "Let's Work Together" Reprise Records 7-19148 1990 Ah yes, that's more like it. Mr. Yoakam and Mr. Miller do sure wrote a fine happy sad song. The Mindbenders [17:37] a side: "It's Getting Harder All the Time" b side: "Off and Running" Fontana Records F-1595 1967 Not one, but two tracks from the film "To Sire with Love". The Uniques [23:20] a side: "It's All Over Now" b side: "All I Took Was Love" Paula Records PAULA 299 1968 Shreveports own The Uniques bringing us a lively version of this Bobby & Shirley Womack tune. Some of you may recall their single "You Ain't Tuff" from the first Nuggets compilation. Talk Talk [27:40] a side: "It's My Life" b side: "It's My Life" EMI Records P-B-8195 1984 A true 80s classic. Kevin Rowland & Dexy's Midnight Runners [33:05] a side: "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven when You Smile)" b side: "Let's Make this Precious" Mercury Records DEXYS 10 1982 Can't go wrong recording this Van Morrison tribute to "Reet Petite". David Dundas [39:49] a side: "Jeans On" b side: "Sleepy Serena" Chrysalis Records CHS 2094 1976 Lord?! Yes, son of the 3rd Marquess of Zetland. BONUS: "To Sire with Love" Trailer [48:25] "To Sir with Love" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra.

Duran Duran [00:29] "Save a Prayer" Rio Harvest ST-12211 1982 Do you want New Wave or do you want... a ballad? How about both?! The Roland Kirk Quartet featuring Elvin Jones [06:04] "Mystical Dream" Rip, Rig & Panic Limelight LS 86027 1965 Roland Kirk - tenor sax, Jaki Byard - Piano, Richard Davis - Bass, Elvin Jones - Drums. Remember the name of this album when we get to Albums and all that begin with the letter Y as in Yankee. Herb Alpert [08:40] "1980" Rise A&M Records SP-3714 1979 Herb Alpert helps NBC out with a little instrumental for the then upcoming 1980 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Sir Eugene Goossens Conducting The London Symphony [11:06] "Introductio - Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) L'Adoration de la Terre (Adoration of the Earth)" The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) Everest 3047 1960 blah Manfred Mann's Earth Band [15:54] "Blinded by the Light" The Roaring Silence Warner Bros. Records BS 2965 1976 More popular than The Boss's original (https://youtu.be/eJkkMgM1vIQ?t=20). Could definitely edit out the noodly scoodly guitar solo break if you ask me. This album has probably the most disconcerting cover art in my collection. Robert Gordon with Link Wray [23:03] "Red Hot" Robert Gordon with Link Wray Private Stock PS 2030 1977 Solid cover of Billy "The Kid" Emerson's Sun Records stomper (https://youtu.be/Y0nGvIXp_TM). Gordon's first outing following a stint with the Tuff Darts (https://youtu.be/Yc4dT3YI9H8). Roger Miller [25:26] "Whistle Stop" Story and Songs from Robin Hood Disneyland 3810 1973 Tell 'em Roger... er, Alan-a-Dare. Lou Reed [29:22] "White Light/White Heat" Rock 'n' Roll Animal RCA AYL1-3664 1980 (1974 original release) Lou gets all glam with the rendition of the Velvets' excitable number. P.J. Soles [34:27] "Rock 'n' Roll High School" Rock 'n' Roll High School (Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Sire SRK 6070 1979 Who else but Riff Randell (https://youtu.be/TYrvJynOoS4) (P.J. Soles)? Robert Gordon [36:40] "Black Slacks" Rock Billy Boogie RCA PL 13294 1979 Indeed, more from Mr. Gordon, this time deftly handling the Joe Bennett & the Sparkletones' classic (https://youtu.be/VcDAlATFK94). The Cramps [38:26] "Heartbreak Hotel" Rockinnreelininaucklandnewzeelandxxx Vengeance Records 669 1987 Lux, Poison Ivy, Candy del Mar, and Nick Knox recorded live at the Galaxy in Auckland NZ in 1986. Tim Curry [43:07] "Sweet Transvestite" The Rocky Horror Picture Show Original Cast Ode Records OSV-21653 1978 (1975 original release) None other than Frank N Furter (https://youtu.be/ZCZDWZFtyWY). Cash Pony [46:28] "Moon Mobile" Roughhousing self-released  2018 The Bay Area's very own. Waylon Jennings [50:41] "I've Always Been Crazy" Rowdy Country K-Tel WU 3680 1983 Same Waylon, same. This single went to number one on the Hot Country songs in 1978, despite Waylon getting busted on possession of cocaine charges the previous year. Outlaw indeed. The Beatles [54:56] "I'm Looking Through You" Rubber Soul Capitol Records SW 2442 1983 (1965 original release) Now there's some stereo separation for you. It was a toss-up between this and "Think for Yourself", but I was feeling this track more. In the key of Ab for those of you playing along at home. Music behind the DJ: "That's a Nice Cap" by George Martin & Orchestra

Nick Lowe [00:28] "My Heart Hurts" Nick the Knife Columbia FC 37932 1982 Nick's first outing after the dissolution of Rockpile. Another catchy tune, co-written with Carlene Carter. Such a great duo. Nicolette Larson [03:07] "Lotta Love" Nicolette Warner Bros. Records BSK 3243 1978 Fresh off assisting Neil Young with American Stars 'n Bars, Nicolette unleashes some peak 70s adult-oriented rock with this side one, track one Young cover for her debut album. Shana Cleveland [06:14] "Face of the Sun" Night of the Worm Moon Hardly Art HAR 111 2019 Some excellent cinematic Western feels for sure. Besides being an excellent musician, Shana makes my very favorite calendar (https://shanacleveland.bandcamp.com/merch). The Oscar Peterson Trio [09:44] "I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)" Night Train Verve Records V6-8538 1963 An album of excellently curated standards, with this being no exception. Tom Waits [16:20] "Eggs and Sausage (in a Cadillac with Susan Michelson)" Nighthawks at the Diner Asylum Records 7E-2008 1975 Dining with everyone's favorite dive bar maestro. Billy Oskay and Mīcheãl Ō Domhaill [22:31] "The 19A" Nightnoise Windham Hill Records WH-1031 1984 Guitars, and violas, and whistles, and harmoniums. What? I tried to pick one of the short tracks. The Beatles [25:42] "Paperback Writer" 1962-1966 Apple Records SKBO 3403 1973 One of my favorite non-album singles from the lads. The Beatles [27:57] "Don't Let Me Down" 1967-1970 Apple Records SKBO 3404 1973 What? Just because many of the folks who listen to Vinyl-O-Matic have watched all 7 hours and 48 minutes of Get Back doesn't mean we can't still enjoy this song. I mean really, how awesome was Billy Preston? Hillsboro High School Eagle Band [33:20] "Streets of Laredo" 1973-1974 Sweepstakes Reelsound Recording Company RSF-7417 1974 Ah the classic rake's lament. Fun fact: Hillsboro, Texas was used in the filming of Wes Anderson's 1996 film "Bottle Rocket". Eurythmics [34:49] "Sexcrime (1984)" 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) RCA ABL1-5349 1984 A doubleplusgood track from this soundtrack scored by Dave Stewart. Prince [38:49] "Little Red Corvette" 1999 Warner Bros. Records 9 23720-1 1982 Perhaps one of the best first sides of any double album out there. Hard to choose just one track from the album, but "Little Red Corvette" will always be my fave. Fun fact: "Little Red Corvette" was partially the inspiration for Stevie Nick's 1983 hit "Stand Back" (https://youtu.be/gwS9BIqbffU), and in fact His Pupleness can be heard playing synth on the choruses. Los Campesinos! [43:46] "What Death Leaves Behind" No Blues Turnstile TS007LP 2013 The lead single from Los Campesinos! excellent 2013 album, on lovely hot pink vinyl. Here's an appearance that they made at the time on New York's WFUV (https://youtu.be/zaCoHn6c238). Motörhead [49:10] "Ace of Spades" No Remorse Bronze 7 90233-1-H 1984 Every day someone is born who has never heard Motörhead's "Ace of Spades". Perhaps one of those people is you. If so, enjoy! I bet you couldn't tell that Lemmy was a fan of slot machines. Fun fact: This album was leather scented when I bought it a very long time ago. A little travelling music please. (https://youtu.be/wR3xwENK7Jo) Carly Simon [51:56] "You're So Vain" No Secrets Elektra EKS-75049 1972 Every day someone is born who has never heard Carly Simon's smash hit "You're So Vain". Perhaps one of those people is you. Enjoy. Very interesting opening bass lick from Klaus Voorman. The Exbats [56:13] "Ghost in the Record Store" Now Where Were We Goner Records 173GONE 2021 One of the best albums of 2021. Can't get enough of Exbats! This song made it's first appearance for 2020's Record Store Day (https://youtu.be/T-clUD3ULcw) (back in the dark days). Taurus [58:57] "No/Thing Longing, Human Impermanence" No/Thing Self-Released 2013 Some excellent experimental heaviness from this Portland duo. Was lucky enough to catch them opening for Agalloch a couple of years ago. Music behind the DJ: "Slow Poke" by Lawrence Welk

Harry Belafonte [00:31] "The Drummer and The Cook (Cockney Air)" An Evening with Belafonte RCA Victor LPM-1402 1957 I wonder if Harry was Dick Van Dyke's dialect coach. Miriam Makeba [04:25] "Beware, Verwoerd (Ndodemnyama)" An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba RCA Victor LSP-3420 1965 As the liner notes say, a warning to the Prime Minister of South Africa that the black man is on the move. Harry Belafonte [06:28] "Walking on the Moon" An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri RCA Victor LSP-3415 1966 From the film Never on a Sunday. Rod Stewart [10:02] "Maggy May" Every Picture Tells a Story Mercury SRM-1-609 1971 A number one hit from a number one album from Mssrs. Stewart and Wood and friends. Warren Zevon [17:13] "Lawyers, Guns and Money" Excitable Boy Asylum Records 6E-118 1978 Seems even more appropriate for this times. From the album that gave us "Werewolves of London" too. Rolling Stones [20:42] "Shake Your Hips" Exile on Main St. Rolling Stones Records COC 2-2900 1972 A fine stab at the Slim Harpo classic. Recorded by the boys when they were holed up in Nellcôte. Procul Harum [23:41] "Nothing but the Truth" Exotic Birds and Fruits Chrysalis CHT 1058 1974 A very meh album. Not sure how it came to be in my collection, but here it is. Bill Evans Trio [26:53] "Haunted Heart" Explorations Riverside Records RLP 351 1961 Recorded February 2, 1961 with Evans on piano, Scott La Faro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums. Rain Parade [31:26] "You Are My Friend" Explosions in the Glass Palace Enigma Records E 1081 1984 Some primo paisley underground from this LA quartet, released after David Roback departed the group. Robert Fripp [34:31] "You Burn Me Up I'm a Cigarette" Exposure EG PD EGLP 101 1979 Featuring Daryl Hall on vox, believe it or not. Love and Rockets [36:56] "Yin and Yang The Flower Pot Man" Express Big Time 6011-1-B 1986 I can neither confirm nor deny that I was once an industrial goth kid. Pretenders [43:50] "Message of Love" Extended Play Sire MINI 3563 1981 I mean really, how can you not pick this song? Extremity [47:14] "Bestial Destiny" Extremely Fucking Dead 20 Buck Spin SPIN 087 2017 Bay Area Death Metal supergroup featuring Shelby Lermmo on guitar and vox, Marissa Martinez-Hoadley on guitar and vox, Erika Osterhout on bass and Aesop Dekker on drums. Johnny Cash [52:05] "Frankie's Man, Johnny" The Fabulous Johnny Cash Columbia CL 1253 1958 Mono, man! Johnny's first outing with Columbia. The Who [54:21] "Don't Let Go the Coat" Face Dances Warner Bros. Records HS 3516 1981 The first full album withouth Keith Moon, with Faces' Kenney Jones in his place. Made it to number 4 on the US charts. The album cover features 4 portraits of each musician by different artists. My favorite is Howard Hodgkins' portrait of John Entwistle. Music behind the DJ: "À 200 à l'heure" by Francis Lai and Orchestra

PJ Harvey [00:22] a side: "The Letter" b side: "Bows and Arrows" Island Records IS 861 2004 The first single from her 2004 album "Uh Huh Her", and a fine selection at that. Simlar to her 4-track Demos release, she plays all albums except the final mix drums. And she was the engineer, mixer and producer. What's not to love? The Castaways [07:29] a side: "Liar, Liar" b side: "Sam" Soma Record Co. 1433 1965 Another classic Nugget. Falsetto raving from Minneapolis' own The Castaways. If you're curious, check out their appearance in "It's a Bikini World". I dig the b-side too! Gene Pitney [12:48] a side: "Liberty Vallance" b side: "Take It Like a Man" Musicor MU 1020 1962 Classic theme from a classic Western, though it doesn't appear in the film. If you're a fan of Westerns, I can highly recommend The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (with all of its modern flaws). Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The b-side is an interestingly titled number written by Lieber and Stoller. Dick & Dee Dee [18:08] a side: "Life's Just a Play" b side: "All I Want" Liberty Records 55478 1962 The a-side is a bit meh, but the b-side! A mighty fine tune from Dee Dee Sperling and the improbably named Dick St. John. Joe Walsh [22:01] a side: "Life's Been Good" b side: "Theme from Boat Weirdos" Asylum Records E-45493 1978 Ah yes, the rock and roll lifestyle. Reached all the way up to #12 on Billboard's Hot 100. Fun fact for you audio enthusiasts: Joe Walsh's publishing company is called Wow and Flutter. Los Campesinos! [33:02] a side: "Light Leaves, Dark Sees" aa: side: "Four Seasons" Heat Rash HR #1 2011 The first of their self-released zine Heat Rash series, from Winter 2011. So nice. The Capsules [39:36] a side: "Light the Path" b side: "It Hangs Over Me" Isota Records sody008 2003 A lovely transluscent orange vinyl release for Isota Records' singles club. Some fine swirling post-punk. Nadja [48:51] a side: "Like a Hand on Your Brain/I Don't Mind If Your Hands Are Cold/Corrupting Host to Appease the Parasite" b side: "Freedom from Death Machines/Caught/The Smell of Bastards" Broken Spine Records BSP007 2014 Entitled "Tangled", that is a collection of the shortest songs you are likely to ever hear from Nadja. And yes, still super amazing and sublime. Music behind the DJ: "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'as performed by Les Brown and His Orchestra.

Ewan & Jerry with The Carib Beats [00:23] a side: "Tennesee Waltz" b side: "You've Got Something" Giant Records GN 14 1967 Yes, the Redd Stewart/Pee Wee King classic made even more classic-er... if that's a thing. The Parliaments [06:24] a side: "(I Wanna) Testify" b side: "I Can Feel the Ice Melting" Revilot Records RV 207 1967 All killer no filler on this Parliaments outing. Keen listeners will recognize the flipside being covered by Yo La Tengo on their recent album Stuff Like That There. Laughing Hyenas [12:44] a side: "That Girl" b side: "18/Hell's Kitchen" 1986 A white label release of the Ann Arbor band's 1986 demos. Messengers [24:03] a side: "That's the Way a Woman Is" b side: "In the Jungle" Rare Earth R 5032F 1971 I can neither confirm nor deny that I have any idea about what the a-side is about. Rufus & Carla [30:08] a side: "That's Really Some Good" b side: "Night Time Is the Right Time" Stax Records S-151 1964 Hot stuff on both sides. Lulu [34:40] a side: "That's Really Some Good" b side: "Here Comes the Night" Decca Records F-12017 1964 That blistering guitar? Jimmy Page. Really. Ok, and I may have gotten my sides flipped around but we play what we play, am I right? Anyway, Rufus Thomas on one side and Bert Berns on the other... again, all killer and no filler. Moby [40:22] a side: "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" b side: "Whip It" Sub Pop Records SP377 1996 It's true kids, Moby isn't just an electronic music nerd. He's got post-punk cred and he's wearing it on his sleeve for this Sub Pop single. The Crystals [48:42] a side: "Then He Kissed Me" b side: "Puddin' n' Tain" Phillies Records COL 3201 (1963) The flipside is actually The Alley Cats, not The Crystals as the label says. I can just see the one shot from Goodfellas in my mind whenever I hear this song. Bonus Material: The aforementioned one shot. [56:42] Music behind the DJ: "To Sir with Love" by Herbie Mann.

Glenn Yarbrough [00:32] "Each of Us Alone" Each of Us Alone: Glenn Yarbrough Sings the Words and Music of Rod McKuen Warner 1736 1968 If you weren't depressed when you started this episode, you are now. Sorry about that. But the harpsichord is pretty groovy. Eagles [02:41] "Take It Easy" Eagles Asylum Records SD 5054 1972 If you're not a fan of the Eagles, just pretend this is a Jackson Browne song. The Fresh & Onlys [06:10] "Sunglasses" Early Years Anthology Castleface Records CF-059 2015 An excellent compilation of early recordings from the band on lovely translucent yellow vinyl. Jefferson Starship [08:23] "Skateboard" Earth Grunt Records BXLI1-2515 1978 Skateboarding! It's a thing! You heard Grace correctly, she'd drain the pool for that fool. Love and Rockets [13:07] "Mirror People" Earth Sun Moon Big Time/Beggars Banquet 6058-1-B 1987 Time goes by so slow when time has no meaning any more. Although, I guess time does have meaning, otherwise I wouldn't be cranking out one episode a week. Huh. I guess things are looking up. Wymond Miles [17:09] "Temples of Magick" Earth Has Doors Sacred Bones Records SBR-070 2012 More sonic wonderment from the Fresh & Onlys guitarist. Blondie [21:21] "Dreaming" Eat to the Beat Chrysalis CHE-1225 1979 Side one, track one. Almost went with "Atomic", but again, sometimes you gotta go with the hits. Eight Belles [24:25] "The Right Light" Eight Belles Saint Rose Records SRR-1976 2015 More Bay Area goodness from Jessi Phillips and Henry Nagle and friends. And whoah dude, that's like song number eight in this episode. Dick Hyman and his Orchestra [29:04] "Mack the Knife" Electrodynamics Command Records RS 856SD 1963 Dick Hyman and his amazing electronic Lowrey Organ! Jac Holzman, K2VEH [31:36] "Alphabet, numbers and punctuation" Elektra Code Course Elektra CC-1 1956 Useful information to use after the information apocalypse. Also, kind of sounds a lot like Dick Hyman. Doc Watson [33:34] "Freight Train Boogie" Elementary Doctor Watson! Poppy Records PYS-5703 Doc and family and friends recorded at Jack Clements studio. The Stone Roses [36:35] "Elephant Stone" Elephant Stone Silvertone Records ORET1 1988 How about some peak Madchester produced by Peter Hook for you? Come [42:31] "William" Eleven : Eleven Matador OLE-45-1 1992 Thalia Zedek, Chris Brokaw and crew recorded at the famed Ft. Apache in Cambridge MA. Emmylou Harris [47:01] "Amarillo" Elite Hotel Reprise MS 2236 1975 Side one, track one on this album brings us a tune co-penned by Emmylou and Rodney Crowell, with backing vox by Linda Ronstadt. A jukebox and a pinball machine sounds pretty good to me about right now. Ella Fitzgerald [50:04] "Blue Moon" Ella in Hollywood Verve Records V6-4052 A contemporary classic performed by the one and only Ella at the Crescendo in Hollywood. I think Ella has a pretty solid sense of humor. Elton John [53:24] "Your Song" ELton John UNI 73090 Another side one, track one. I think pretty much only Elton could get away with a down tempo lead off, and a song about a song no less. Music behind the DJ: "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" by Les Baxter and his Orchestra.

Albums and All That, Starting with the letter S as in Sierra, Part 9 From Something to Shout About (Lulu) to Sophisticated Boom Boom (Dead or Alive) Oh hey, by the way... there is now a Vinyl-O-Matic Patreon (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill) Lulu with The Luvvers [00:30] "Chocolate Ice" Something to Shout About Decca LK 4719 1965 Hey hey hey! It's Lulu! This is her debut album. Despite what you might guess from her voice, she was 17 when she recorded this album. "Chocolate Ice" is the excellent title song to the very weird Gonks Go Beat (https://youtu.be/XhozBIMplQA?si=ULHH1FdCqSWJPyJ5) (Hartford-Davis, 1964), featuring Lulu and The Luvvers, The Nashville Teens, and the Graham Bond Organisation Todd Rundgren [02:40] "Hello It's Me" Something / Anything? Bearsville 2BX 2066 1972 Rundgren's 3rd solo album, spreading his musical wings a bit more than previous releases. Todd had originally written the song as a very mellow ballad with the Nazz in 1967, and was released as a b-side (https://youtu.be/FmLnDL_pNZQ?si=enMwjWzgNe_iplus) to their psyche rocker "Open My Eyes". Usually I'd go with the power pop progenitor "Couldn't I Just Tell You (https://youtu.be/fosMLTCFKQ8?si=Dgn25DMa61xCFRbJ)", but well, I'm feeling more mid-tempo at the moment. Jimmy Buffett [07:29] "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" Son of a Son of a Sailor ABC Records AA-1046 1976 Let me be perfectly clear: I am not now, nor have I ever been a Parrot Head. However, I do love cheeseburgers. This is the lead single from Buffett's eighth solo album. The single made it to #32 on the Hot 100. There's also a much-watered-down version of "Livingston Saturday Night", which can be heard to greater effect (https://youtu.be/5uizFyDRxso?si=ZfVrun8krTdxzagG) on the Rancho Deluxe (Perry, 1975) soundtrack, see also: Season 5, Episode 76 (https://vinylomatic.com/s05e76). Harry Nilsson [10:20] "It Is He Who Will Be King/Daybreak" Son of Dracula Rapple Records ABL1-0220 1974 The only new Nilsson song on this soundtrack. The less said about the actual film. Count Downe (Nilsson) is invited to take over Count Dracula's throne by Merlin (Ringo Starr). Lots of monsters and lots of rock stars, including Keith Moon and John Bonham, Peter Frampton, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voorman, and Leon Russell. Watch at your own peril (https://youtu.be/IIik_o16sro?si=WvmR54QPJ16Qmd6s). Great packaging for the record though, includine a die-cut gatefold and an iron on transfer for the cover image with "Bite Me" written in goth script below. Julian Bahula's Jazz Africa [16:15] "Molebatsi" Son of the Soil Tsafrika Records TSA 001 1982 A great collective outing composed by this South African by way of Britain drummer/composer/bandleader. I picked this one up at Revolution Records in Amsterdam. If Google Translate isn't lying to me, this title translates to "Smoker" from Swati. And a smoker it is. The Temptations [21:46] "Shakey Ground" A Song for You Gordy G6-969S1 1975 One of several excellent P-Funk-backed tracks on this album. There's a pretty excellent Delbert McClinton version of this song as well (https://youtu.be/w7JCWoxtGLs?si=tLtnwaOT1j24Tgvy). The Exbats [25:47] "Like It Like I Do" Song Machine Goner Records GONE 192 2023 And boy do I like it! Another excellent outing from Bisbee AZ denizens Inez and Kenny and friends (https://youtu.be/l-Onx5zVfMs?si=OSeD0DJHPaOZ4NGW). They pretty much just keep getting awesomer and awesomer. Big Black [28:17] "L Dopa" Songs About Fucking Touch and Go T&G LP #24 1987 Scorching. And sadly, fare thee well, Steve. To anyone interested in recording, Steve and Electric Audio provided (and still provide) a wealth of information, as for instance: Everything you've ever wanted to know about tape alignment but were afraid to ask (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXA7imybaTsFWOFpaeP8wgXNDlZ4Xc8yq&si=ZMsU_ifbEBbmp6Kh). THE FOLLOWING TRACK IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED 🤓 Rusty Warren [31:54] "Songs for Sinners (Part I) (excerpt)" Songs for Sinners Jubilee JGM-2024 1959 Everybody's favorite New England Conservatory of Music-trained raunchy great aunt. If you shake the Youtubes, you can quite likely find Catherine O'Hara portraying a Rusty Warren-inspired character Dusty Towne in an episode of SCTV. Frank Sinatra [33:01] "Pennies from Heaven" Songs for Swingin' Lovers! Capitol Records W653 1956 Frank and Nelson Riddle taking a pass at this classic thirties tune originally recorded by Bing Crosby. I am also reminded of 1978 BBC series Pennies from Heaven performance wtinessed by Bob Hoskins (https://youtu.be/0Xw0da8ZUpo?si=D87vjr4MVidJeWkw) as well as Steve Martin's filmic remake of Pennies from Heaven (https://youtu.be/f3Q11jsN54A?si=nUKyfa9427rV4kI2). Merle Haggard and the Strangers [35:43] "Mama Tried" Songs I'll Always Sing Capitol Records SABB-11531 1977 Wayward Merle's ode to mama. Fun fact: My grandfather claimed to not care for Merle because he was a jailbird, despite being a fan of Johnny Cash. Granted, Cash never served more than a night in jail following a few of his misadventures. Stevie Wonder [37:53] "Sir Duke" Songs in the Key of Life Tamla T13-340C2 1976 This album is the common denominator of almost every record collection I've been gifted. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, whenever I hear this song it reminds me of summer Little League practice, so presumably 1977. Yautja [42:50] "Tar and Blindness" Songs of Descent Forcefield Records FFR039 2014 Heaviness by way of Nashville TN of all places. Echo & the Bunnymen [45:40] "Do It Clean" Songs to Learn & Sing Sire / Korova 1-25360 1985 A solid mid-80s compilation. This is easily one of my favorite Echo & the Bunnymen tunes. The Fresh & Onlys [48:26] "AAA" Soothsayer Mexican Summer MEX170-1 2013 Definitely some great atmoshphere on the EP. Love the vibes and horns on this track. Dead or Alive [52:31] "That's the Way (I Like It)" Sophisticated Boom Boom Epic BFE 39274 1984 A very early-80s take on this 70s classic. Presumably the album is titled after The Shangri-La's single (https://youtu.be/tNDZ5VGgG20?si=rxq46VwfwudqfT0C)? For you aging goths out there: If Wikipedia, there is an uncredited guitar playing by Wayne Hussey who would the move on to Sisters of Mercy, and then of course to The Mission 🤓 Music behind the DJ: "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by David Whitaker and his Orchestra

Kid606 [00:39] "Let It Rock" Pretty Girls Make Raves Tigerbeat6 meow132 2006 Hello Mid-Aughties Bay Area IDM. Michael Nesmith [05:32] "Some of Shelley's Blues" Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash Pacific Arts/Island Records ILPS 9440 1977 One of my scores from Amsterdam. "Some of Shelley's Blues was going to be part of the Nashville session The Monkees had in 1968. Prior to this version it was also covered by Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poney's (https://youtu.be/d9cQBGMzigU), as well as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (https://youtu.be/BXJiqKgl7BI). Willie Nelson [08:52] "Blue Christmas" Pretty Paper Columbia JC 36189 1979 Having yourself a very Willia xmas? Getting some quality assistance from Booker T on the organ. The title track, made famous by Roy Orbison in 1963, is penned by none other than Willie. Prince [11:31] "I Wanna Be Your Lover" Prince Warner Bros. Records BSK 3366 1979 Prince's sophomore effort and what an effort it is! The album made it to number 22 on the Hot 100, and this lead off single (https://youtu.be/Rp8WL621uGM) hit number 11 on the US charts. Linda Ronstadt [18:29] "Hey Mister, That's Me Up on the Jukebox" Prisoner in Disguise Asylum Records 7E-1045 1975 Linda deftly handling this James Taylor number on this multi-platinum album. Emerson Meyers [22:40] "In Memoriam for Soprano & Tape" Provocative Electronics (Electronic Constructions on Traditional Forms) Westminster Gold WGS-8129 1970 Recorded at the Electronic Music Laboratory of the Catholic University of America, of all places, in 1970. Don't worry, I have an insider checking to see whether his laboratory still exists. The Cramps [27:35] "Goo Goo Muck" Psychedlic Jungle I.R.S. Records SP 70016 1981 How timely! The Cramps very well known version of Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads 1962 single. Record fiend friends, let me tell you that I have had a saved eBay search for that original Ronnie Cook single, and it has yet to go for less than three figures. Here's hoping I find it in a random place someday in the future. Thurston Moore [30:40] "Ono Soul" Psychic Hearts Goofin' Records Goo-010 2006 (originally released on DGC in 1995) Thurston hearts the queen of noise. This album features artwork by the excellent Rita Ackermann. Luna [35:53] "Beautiful View" Pup Tent Teenbeat TEENBEAT 232 1997 The fourth studio album from one of my favorite bands. This is one of the few that was released on vinyl at the time. Of course there's also the big beautiful box set (https://www.discogs.com/master/1027116-Luna-Long-Players-92-99). Purple Mountains [39:34] "She's Making Friends, I'm Turning Stranger" Purple Mountains Drag City DC680 2019 Ugh. Sadly, the final David Berman project. A thoroughly engaging album from start to finish.Interested and brave parties can check out this piece on David Berman's final days in the recent issue of Creem (https://www.creem.com/fresh-creem/david-berman-purple-mountains-final-days-feature). Temptations [43:42] "I Can't Get Next to You" Puzzle People Gordy S-949 1969 Such a hot opening track, this copy has been played many times. I tried to salvage it as best as possible. Number one single from a number 5 album. The Who [46:24] "Bell Boy" Quadrophenia (Music from the Soundtrack of The Who Film) Polydor 2625 037 1979 And what a film it is. Who knew that the king of the mods had a day job? Big Blood [51:21] "1000 Times" QuaranTunes Series No.027 Feeding Tube Records FTR634 2021 One of the things that got me through the stay-at-home phase of the pandemic was all of the excellent livestreams from musicians. This particular one from Portland ME's Big Blood was pretty much transcendtal for me. And this particular track featuring Quinissa on vocals scratched an audio itch that I didn't know I had. To really put it over the top for me, they followed it up with a cover of The Clean's "Anything Could Happen" (https://youtu.be/wPGIJdlOkbw?t=2272). Ultravox [55:20] "We Came to Dance" Quartet Chrysalis CDL 1394 1394 The sixth outing from Midge Ure and company. Oddly, produced by George Martin and less oddly cover design by Peter Saville. This track was the fourth and final single from Quartet. Robyn Hitchcock 'n' the Egyptians [59:34] "Madonna of the Wasps" Queen Elvis A&M Records SP 5241 1989 Another musician who had some great livestreams during stay-at-home along with his partner Emma Swift and Tubby and Ringo and Perry the Lobster. This song will forever be one of my favorites of his. Helped out by usual suspect Peter Buck on guitar here. Japan [01:02:39] "Halloween" Quiet Life Fame FA3037 1982 (originally released in 1979) Japan's third album, transitioning into synth pop territory. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

Kool and the Gang [00:21] "Ladies' Night" Ladies' Night De-Lite Records DSR-9513 1979 Oh yes it is. This platinum album made it to number 13 in the top 200, with this single making it to number 8 on the Hot 100. Spacemonkeyz vs Gorillaz [06:50] "5/4 (P.45)" Laika Come Home EMI/Parlophone 7243 5 39982 1 9/539 9821 2002 That's right, a dub remix of the entire debut album from Gorillaz. Lainie Kazan [11:12] "Lark Day" Lainie Kazan MGM Records SE-4385 1966 It might be a singing in the park day where you are. Hüsker Dü [14:18] "All Tensed Up" Land Speed Record SST Records 195 1990 (reissue) 17 songs, 26 1/2 minutes. Hold on to your ear plugs, kids. Originally released on Mike Watt's label New Alliance. Bauhaus [16:19] "Lagartija Nick" Lagartija Nick Beggar Banquet BEG 88T 1983 Uptempo moodiness from these goth rockers. Northless [19:24] "Extinction Verse" Last Bastion of Cowardice Gilead Media RELIC 96 2017 Sludgy doomness by way of Milwaukee. Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band [23:56] "Devil in Disguise" Last Date Warner Bros. Records 1-23740 1982 Taking this Burrito classic for an excellent spin. Originally entitled "Christine's Tune", which, having dated a Christine, is aptly titled. Bow Wow Wow [28:21] "Cowboy" The Last of the Mohicans RCA Victor CPL1-4314 1982 A different kind of cowboy music. This EP made it to number 67 on the Billboard 200. Drömloch [31:53] "Beguine" Late Style Kit Records KR18 2016 Some glitchy ambient goodness from this English duo. LCD Soundsystem [35:39] "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" LCD Soundsystem DFA dfa 2138 2005 When in doubt, go with the hit. Ah, the heady days of electroclash. Sadly, I think the time has passed when Daft Punk will be playing at anyone's house. Leadbelly [40:54] "C.C. Rider" Leadbelly Columbia C 30035 1970 Originally recorded by Ma Rainey, Leadbelly does a fantastic job with this blues standard as well on six-string guitar. Robert Fripp & the League of Gentlemen [45:07] "MINOR MAN" the League of Gentlemen Polydor/EG PD-1-6317 1981 And now is the time on Vinyl-O-Matic when we dance. A Robert Fripp dance music experiment featuring Barry Andrews on organ, Sara Lee on bass, Kevin Wilkinson on drums, and on this track, Danielle Dax on vox. Elvis Presley [48:55] "That's All Right" A Legendary Performer - Volume 1 RCA CPL1-0341 1974 Orginally recorded by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, this recording would launch Elvis into the spotlight. Lena Horne [50:52] "It Might as Well Be Spring" Lena on the Blue Side RCA Victor LPM-2465 1962 Is it... what season is this? Lenny & the Squigtones [54:19] "Love Is a Terrible Thing" Lenny & the Squigtones Casablanca NBLP 7149 1979 Lone Wolf Michael McKean and the late great David Lander are joined by Christopher Guest on guitar and Murph Dunne on keyboards. Bonus Content: Hello. (https://youtu.be/0AcBqfMH4fU) Music behind the DJ: "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" by Lawrence Welk

Fairport Convention [00:47] "Million Dollar Bash" Fairport Chronicles A&M SP-3530 1976 Fairport Convention plucking a little something from the Basement Tapes and giving it a fine dust off. Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart [03:41] "Girl I'm Out to Get You" Family Portrait A&M SP-19002 1967 Bubblegum Pop takes a dip into Chamber Pop? Maybe this is what happened when Boyce & Hart listened to Sgt Pepper and Their Satanic Majesties Request? Bobbie Gentry [06:05] "Rainmaker" Fancy Capitol Records ST-428 1970 A fine funky arrangement of this Harry Nilsson/Bill Martin song. The album made it to number 34 on the Hot Country Albums chart. The Oak Ridge Boys [08:45] "She's Gone to L.A. Again" Fancy Free MCA Records MCA-5209 1981 From the album that unleashed the song "Elvira" on an unsuspecting listening public. Lightnin' Hopkins [12:40] "Lightnin' Boogie" Fast Life Woman Verve Records V-8453 1962 Some excellent electric boogie from the Texas legend. Fun fact: Hopkins recorded an album in 1969 entitled Free Form Patterns in which he was backed by the 13th Floor Elevators rhythm section. Frank Yankovic [15:29] "Champagne Taste and a Beer Bankroll" Favorite Polkas ABC Records ABCD-873 1975 Ain't it the truth, buddy. Feargal Sharkey [17:29] "It's All Over Now" Feargal Sharkey A&M Records SP-6-5108 1985 Former Undertones frontman with his first solo outing. Couldn't resist picking this one. For interested parties, there is the album opens with a bit of she said/he said: Side 1 Track 1 is by Maria McKee about her relationship with Benmont Tench, and Side 1 Track 2 is by Benmont Tench but is purportedly not about Maria McKee. Nina Hagen [21:40] "What It Is" Fearless Columbia BFC 39214 1983 That's right, an RHCP song. And oddly it fits in the context of this album very well. José Feliciano [27:30] "Just a Little Bit of Rain" Feliciano! RCA Victor LSP-3957 1969 Could definitely use a little rain out here. Deerhoof [30:20] "Paradise Girls" Fever 121614 Polyvinyl Record Company PRC-309 2015 Recorded live in Tokyo, on beautiful translucent red vinyl. One of the my favorite bands to see live. Tom Jones [33:49] "Don't Fight It" Fever Zone Parrot PAS 71019 1968 Tom doing his best Wilson Pickett. Julio Iglesias [36:41] "Une Chanson Quie Revient" Fidèle CBS DIL-50323 1981 Awe yeah, disco Cole Porter. Begin the Beguine for those of you wondering. PJ Harvey [42:15] "50ft Queenie" 50ft Queenie Island Records 12IS 538 1993 The third single from Rid of Me. Recorded at Prince's Pachyderm Studios by Steve Albini. Ohio Players [44:38] "Fire" Fire Mercury SRM-1-1013 1974 Ohio Players number one single from their number one album. UiLab [49:06] "St. Elmo's Fire (Radio)" Fires Bingo BIN 2 1998 Ui + Stereolab + Eno = Awesome! Billy Mure's Super-Sonic Guitars [53:14] "Guitar Theme" Fireworks RCA Victor LSP-1694 Some stereophonic snazziness! Music behind the DJ: "Everybody's Talkin" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

Jason Traeger/DRAGONANGEL dream research labs [00:32] a side: "Love, Love and Love" b side: "We Can't Avoid Dying" Kill Rock Stars KRS 333 1999 Pretty awesome release the Kill Rock Stars 7" singles club Mailorder Freaks. Reverb Motherf***ers [05:30] a side: "L.S.D. 25" b side: "L.S.D. 25" Vital Music 1991 NYC noise rockers I used to see perform quite a bit at various East Village venues. Oddly enough I found this single a few weeks ago at The Last Record Store, all the way out here in Santa Rosa, California. Waylon Jennings [14:44] a side: "Lukenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" b side: "Belle of the Ball" RCA Records GB-11757 1977 Big hit for Waylon, and guest vox by Willie of course. Evidently Waylon was not really a fan of the song but saw the hit potential. Madonna [21:25] a side: "Lucky Star" b side: "I Know It" Sire Records 7-29177 1983 My second favorite Madonna single, and actually a pretty solid b-side. This was the 4th of the 5 singles that were released from her debut album, and her best performing on the US Hot 100 (although both Holiday and Lucky Star made it to the number 1 position on the US Dance chart). Killdozer [30:20] a side: "Lupus" b side: "Nasty" Touch and Go Records T&G#44 1989 An a-side disguised as a book report, and a b-side disguised as a Janet Jackson song. Steppenwolf [37:46] a side: "Magic Carpet Ride" b side: "Sookie Sookie" Dunhill ABC Records D-4161 1968 I'm just going to come out and say it... the single version of this song is better than the album version of this song. Neko Case with The Sadies a side: "Make Your Bed" [44:37] The Sadies b side: "Gunspeak/Little Sadie" [48:19] Bloodshot Records BS 030 1998 Fine singles from the beginning of Neko Case's Chicago tenure. Hüsker Dü [51:13] a side: "Makes No Sense At All" b side: "Love Is All Around" SST Records SST 051 1985 You know what? We are going to make it afterall. Music Behind the DJ: "Love Is All Around" by Sonny Curtis-esque.

Al Stewart [00:31] a side: "Year of the Cat" b side: "Broadway Hotel" Janus Records J-266 1976 Scotsman Al Stewart penned this Alan Parsons-produced classic, which made it all the way up to number 8 on the Hot 100. Definitely sounds like the mid-70s to me ear. Fun fact: Janus Records was originally extension of England's Pye Records. Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames [09:00] a side: "Yeh, Yeh" b side: "Preach and Teach" Imperial Records 66086 1965 This toe tapping classic originally started as an instrumental originally recorded by Mongo Santamaria in 1963, and then shortly thereafter had lyrics added by Jon Hendricks of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. Then in 1965 Englishman Georgie Fame. Birds of America [14:18] a side: "Yes! I Know I Am Free" b side: "Untitled" Isota Records sody001 2001 The very first Isota Records release, featuring a fantastic letterpress sleeve by Nathaniel Russell printed at the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley CA. Loretta Lynn [23:31] a side: "You Ain't Woman Enough (to Take My Man)" b side: "You're Lookin' at Country" MCA Records MCA-53576 1966/1971 An MCA Double Play! The a-side features Loretta's 1966 smash hit "You Ain't Woman Enough", her eighth single to make it into the top 10, up to number 2. The flipside features her 1971 single that made it up to number 5 on the country charts. Jun Mayuzumi [29:06] a side: "You and the Sun" b side: "My Love, My Love" Capitol Records CP-1040 1969 Another fine single from late 1960s Japan, the a-side in A minor for those of you playing along at home. I have it on good authority that a-side "Fushigina Taiyou" directly translates to "Strange Sun" but "You and the Sun" works fine to. Bongwater [35:39] a side: "You Don't Love Me Yet" b side: "The Porpoise Song" Shimmy Disc Records shimmy 7-98 1988 All killer no filler on this Shimmy Disc single featuring Ann Magnuson, Dave Rick & Kramer bringing us a Roky Erickson tune on the a-side and Goffin-King-by-way-of-The-Monkees b-side The Porpoise Song. Harry Dean Stanton [46:42] a side: "You Don't Miss Your Water" b side: "Across the Borderline" Rx Remedy Records RXR 015 1993 The late great Harry Dean Stanton joined by pals Jamie James, Skunk Baxter, Slim Jim Phantom, and Tony Sales. Etta James [57:29] a side: "You Got It" b side: "Fire" Cadet 5620 1968 The follow-up single to her super hot rendition of "I Got You", somehow "You Got It" only made to number 113. What gives? Music behind the DJ: "Audrey's Dance" by Angelo Badalamenti.

Deerhoof [mm:ss] "Dummy Discards a Heart" Apple O' Menlo Park Recordings mpk7026 2003 The first Bay Area band I got into after moving here in 2001 was a quartet that I saw open for Shonen Knife at Slims in 2003. That band? Deerhoof. I was hooked from there on out. The Kinks [mm:ss] "Wicked Annabella" The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society Earmark 42006 2005 (1968) Every day, someone is born who has never heard "The Village Green Preservation Society". If you are that someone, you should listen to that track, you won't be disappointed. Here, however, we're diving a little deeper. Gravy Train!!!! [mm:ss] "I Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Get Rid of You" Are You Wigglin? Kill Rock Stars KRS414 Gravy Train was one of the Aughties finest live acts in the Bay Area. ABBA [mm:ss] "Money, Money, Money" Arrival Atlantic SD 19115 1976 Yeah I know I played this same track in Season 3. Yeah, I know that "Dancing Queen" is on here too. You'll just have to wait until we get to G for Greatest Hits. Marilyn Mason [mm:ss] "Haydn: The Musical Clocks (Flötenuhr)" The Art of the Organ Builder Mirrosonic Records CM 7001 Yes, this is a promotional recording for an organ manufacturer featuring one of the great American scholars of the organ. Elvis Presley [mm:ss] "Also Sprach Zarathustra/That's All Right" As Recorded at Madison Square Garden RCA Victor LSP-4776 1972 Recorded on June 10, 1972, and released on June 18, 1972. James Burton provides the licks. Cavernlight [mm:ss] "Constructing a Spire to Pierce & Poison the Infinite" As We Cup Our Hands and Drink from the Stream of Our Ache Gilead Media RELIC91 2017 Some doom-y goodness from Wisconsin Asia [mm:ss] "Heat of the Moment" Asia Geffen GHS 2008 1982 Carl Palmer does his best Hal Blaine impersonation on the verse. And who knew Steve Howe could Pop it up? Cheap Trick [mm:ss] "Hello There" At Budokan Epic AL 35795 1979 Full disclosure: I have lifted one of the riffs from this for my own musical gain because Cheap Trick was awesome (they could be awesome again if they brought Bun E. Carlos back into the fray). Harry Belafonte [mm:ss] "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" At Carnegie Hall RCA Victor LOC-6006 1959 That's right. Judy Garland [mm:ss] "San Francisco" At Carnegie Hall Capitol Records WBO-1569 1961 Oh that ol' rascal San Francisco. This live album 73 weeks on the charts, 13 of them at the number 1 spot. Johnny Cash [mm:ss] "25 Minutes to Go" At Folsom Prison Columbia CS 9639 1968 No thanks to Columbia, this classic hit number one on the country charts and number 15 on the pop charts. This unexpected success helped revive Cash's career after several shaky years. This snappy death row ditty comes from the pen of Shel Silverstein. The Dave Brubeck Quartet [mm:ss] "Take the A Train" Dave Brubeck and Jay & Kai at New Port Columbia CL 932 1956 And now we're at Newport. The Jazz Fest that is, not The Folk Fest. And this will probably be the first of several A trains we'll take throughout the course of this season. Ray Charles [mm:ss] "Hot Rod" At Newport Atlantic SD 1289 1959 One of the most versatile musicians in the music business keeping things hot on his alto sax. Music behind the DJ: "Spinning Wheel" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra.

Prince and the Revolution [00:51] "Kiss" Parade Paisley Park 9 25395-1 1986 Everyday someone is born who has never heard Prince's "Kiss" (or seen the video (https://youtu.be/H9tEvfIsDyo)). If that person is you, enjoy! Nadja [04:27] "Dark Circles" Paradox Incubate 15.09.14 Consouling Sounds SOULXXXXIV 2014 Live ambient doom by my favorite duo recorded (https://nadja.bandcamp.com/music) live at Incubate Festival in Amsterdam circa 2014. Blondie [14:34] "Hanging on the Telephone" Parallel Lines Chrysalis CHR 1192 1978 Check out the original Nerves version if you ever have the chance. Witch [16:56] "1000 MPH" Paralyzed Tee Pee Records TPE-085-1 2008 Taking off in a silver machine on this track from the band's follow up album. Black Sabbath [20:18] "Children of the Grave" We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll Warner Bros. Records 2BS 2923 1976 What the...?! This isn't Paranoid. This isn't even Masters of Reality! Why no, someone slipped the second disc of We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll into their Paranoid jacked. Ah well. Always check the contents of those dollar bin records, kids. KC and the Sunshine Band [25:31] "I'm You Boogie Man" Part 3 T.K. Records 605 1976 Can't deny the classics. Number one on the Hot 100 way back in 1977. The B-52's [31:15] "Private Idaho" Party Mix! Warner Bros. Records MINI 3596 1981 The band's debut single remixed for your own private party. You can tell it's a party remix because of the stereo-panned-n-flanged roto-toms. Joe King Carrasco & the Crowns [35:19] "Party Weekend" Party Weekend MCA Records MCA-5404 1983 For all you early MTV fans out there, yes this is what became "Party Christmas". Party party! Grass Widow [38:22] "11 of Diamonds" Past Time Kill Rock Stars KRS533 2010 Some Bay Area goodness from Hannah Lew, Raven Mahon, and Lillian Maring. Bob Dylan [41:16] "Billy 4" Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid Columbia KC 32460 1973 I have a particular soft spot for this Dylan album. The film and soundtrack came into my life at a time when I was becoming increasingly interested in film and aspect ratios like Cinemascope. And also at a time when I was making art that was making art exploring the myth of the American West and native American folklore, especially Old Man Coyote the trickster. In this film and soundtrack we get both the myth of the American West (Billy the Kid) and the trickster (Dylan is nothing if not a trickster). The film itself is a bit of a Peckinpah shaggy dog, but worth the early 70s antihero hubris. I prefer Newman's confused teen Left Handed Gun (https://youtu.be/9BhhGqb6k4I) (another aspect of the myth Billy the kid itself: the infamous daguerrotype in question has reality preserved in reverse) to Kristofferson's avenger (https://youtu.be/a-e47wAkg9g). But with Peckinpah's film you get bonus James Coburn, Slim Pickens, Harry Dean Stanton, and even Rita Coolidge. Bobbie Gentry [47:55] "Billy the Kid" Patchwork Capitol Records ST-494 1971 Speaking of coincidences. From Bobbie's final studio album. Definitely environmental circumstances. The Modern Jazz Quartet [49:57] "A Social Call" Patterns United Artists Records UAL 4072 1960 And now for something completely different from Billy the Kid. Music derived from film cues. Falls of Rauros [54:25] "New Inertia" Patterns in Mythology Gilead Media relic119 2019 Some melodic black metal from this Tolkien-esque band from Portland ME. Music behind the DJ: "Spinning Wheel" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

45s and Other Revolutions: Yes, still more A-Sides beginning with the letter T as in Tango. From “Time After Time” (Cyndi Lauper) to “Touch Me I'm Sick” (Sonic Youth) Cyndi Lauper [00:36] a side: "Time After Time" b side: "Time After Time" Portrait Records 37-04432 1983 A fine collaboration with Rob Hyman of The Hooters. Todd Rundgren [04:29] a side: "Time Heals" b side: "Tiny Demons" Bearsville Records BHS 3522-EP 1981 A fine 7" to be played at 33 1/3 for a 3 minute and 33 second a-side, included as a bonus disc in Todd Rundgren's 1981 album Healing. This is a song that looms large in my Songs That form the Soundtrack of My Mind. Why? Perhaps because it was the 8th video ever played on MTV and it left a lasting impression on my impressionable adolescent self. And the chord progression has bedeviled my remedial musical skills for years. Fun fact, but not terribly surprising: Todd Rundgren plays all the instruments. Change of Heart a side: "Tired of Waking Up Tired/Mythology" [11:53] Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet b side: "Tired of Waking Up Tired/The Alouette, She Was Canada's First Satellite, Way Before the Americans Even" [18:10] Cargo Records CAR-702 1991 A little trip North of the Border from the early 90s, and more fun with revolutions. Change of Heart's side is 33 1/3 while Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet is 45rpm. Lulu [22:11] a side: "To Sir with Love" b side: "The Boat that I Row" Epic Records 5-10187 1967 A classic a-side from the movie of the same name, and a killer rendition of Neil Diamond's "The Boat that I Row" which had been released in the US earlier in the year. This single ranked number 1 on Billboard's year-end chart for 1967. Interestingly, another Neil Diamond spent the most time at number one in 1967: The Monkees version of "I"m a Believer". The Archies [29:12] a side: "Together We Two" b side: "Everything's Alright" Kirshner Records 63-5009 1969 Did you know that Billboard had a Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart? It's true, and this song made it to number 22 on that chart in 1970, which I suppose means that it made it to number 122? Eddie Lovette [34:11] a side: "Too Experienced" b side: "You're My Girl" Steady Records S 124 1969 Some American rocksteady from Eddie Lovette covering Bob Andy's "Too Experienced". Some listeners may be familiar with 2 Tone second wave ska recording artists The Bodysnatchers cover of this song. Mudhoney [40:34] a side: "Touch Me I'm Sick" b side: "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More" Sub Pop Records SP18 (second pressing) 1988 This was always my second choice on my go to selections on the jukebox at Downtown Beirut in the East Village many moons ago. My first choice was always "You're Phone's Off the Hook (But Your Not)" by X. Sonic Youth a side: "Touch Me I'm Sick" [46:53] Mudhoney b side: "Halloween" [49:31] Sub Pop Records SP26 1988 Phew... apologies for the backmasking, but I'm sure you can find the uncensored versions if you try. A split proposed to Sub Pop by Sonic Youth after hearing a 5 song demo of Mudhoney. The Sonic Youth version features Alex Damen of Das Damen on lead guitar. And there's more rpm shenanigans on this one: the SY side is 45 and the Mudhoney side is 33. Music behind the DJ: "Telstar" by Ingegner Giovanni & Famiglia.

Elton John [00:32] "Honky Cat" Greatest Hits MCA Records MCA-3007 1974 (1980 reissue) Funky feline fun! Loretta Lynn [05:46] "Wine Women and Song" Greatest Hits MCA Records MCA-1 1968 (1973 reissue) Loretta's 3rd top ten single on Decca, reaching number 3 on the country charts in 1964. Dawn [07:48] "Candida" Greatest Hits Arista AL-4045 1975 This first outing from Tony Orlando and Dawn reached number 3 on the Hot 100 in 1970. Webb Pierce [10:53] "I Ain't Never" Greatest Hits MCA Records MCA-120 1968 Legend has it that Mel Tillis traded crediting Webb as a co-writer on this number for a pair of boots that Pierce was wearing at the time. Webb's 1959 version made it to number 2 on the country charts. In 1972, Tillis' version (https://youtu.be/S8npzNIbF14) made it to number 1. Diana Ross [14:32] "Upside Down" All the Greatest Hits Motown M13-960C2 1981 A great tune penned for Ms. Ross by Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. Made it to number 1 on the charts of course. I dig the guitar work on the outro. Sly & the Family Stone [18:38] "Sing a Simple Song" Greatest Hits Epic KE 30325 1970 The b-side from the all killer no filler 1968 Sly single "Everyday People". War [22:35] "The Cisco Kid" Greatest Hits United Artists Records UA-LA648-G 1976 One of my favorite songs when I was a kid, and I still love it. Definitely an irresistable hook. Made it all the way up to number 2 on the Hot 100, but was held out of the number one spot by... Tony Orlando & Dawn's "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree". Willie Nelson [26:20] "Good Hearted Woman" Greatest Hits (& Some that Will Be) Columbia KC2 37542 1981 Waylon Jennings wrote this inspired by a newspaper piece about Tina Turner's relationship with Ike. Purportedly written by Jennings and Nelson over a poker game. Jenning's version is quite excellent (https://youtu.be/bU7hic-KtVw). Petula Clark [30:37] "Call Me" Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 Warner Bros - Seven Arts Records WS1765 1968 Pretty snappy for what would become an Easy Listening standard. ABBA [33:24] "The Name of the Game" Greatest Hits, Vol 2 Atlantic SD 16009 1979 Not sure why I like the more dramatic ABBA songs like this (https://youtu.be/iJ90ZqH0PWI) and "Knowing Me, Knowing You (https://youtu.be/iUrzicaiRLU)", but I do. This one made it to number 12 on the Hot 100. The bass intro was inspired Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" (https://youtu.be/c7IYSAUj78g). Conway Twitty [38:13] "Hello Darlin'" Greatest Hits Vol. I MCA Records MCA-52 1972 (1973 reissue) Long associated with Conway Twitty, this single stayed at the top of the country charts for four weeks in the summer of 1970. Bob Dylan [40:38] "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You" Greatest Hits Volume II Columbia KG 31120 1971 The third single released from his 1969 album Nashville Skyline. Some pretty hot guitar licks. Elton John [45:57] "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Greatest Hits Volume II MCA Records MCA-3027 1977 Released in 1974 and topping the pop charts in January of 1975, this Beatles cover features John Lennon himself joining in on guitar and backing vox under the pseudonym Winston O'Boogie. I am pretty sure was the first version I heard as a kid, thanks to pop radio. Definitely recall the Univibe guitar opening and the synth lead in the middle, and the odd but awesome reggae break. Marty Robbins [51:47] "El Paso" The Greatest Hits Columbia C2X-3 Please enjoy this Dudley (aka H.B. Barnum) spoof (https://youtu.be/-EVP_ISgPNk) of this 1959 song. Johnny Cash [56:27] "It Ain't Me, Babe" Greatest Hits Volume 1 Columbia CL 2678 1967 Great admirers of each other, Cash recorded this Dylan song for his 1965 Orange Blossom Special with June Carter helping out on vocals. Their single made it to number 4 in the country charts. Trini Lopez [59:29] "La Bamba" Greatest Hits! Reprise Records R 6226 1966 A live version from 1963 of this traditional Mexican folk song, non-traditionally credited to Lopez which would normally be credited as traditional. Perhaps it's due to Lopez's Beatles-esque break in the middle of the arrangement. Music behind the DJ: "Theme from a Summer Place" by Percy Faith & his Orchestra

Adam and the Ants [00:30] "Antmusic" Kings of the Wild Frontier Epic NJE 37033 1980 Memories of heavy rotation in my adolescent brain. Kiss [04:11] "Anyway You Want It" Kiss Alive II Casablanca NBLP 7076-2 1977 Paul does an ok job handling this DC5 hit (https://youtu.be/oiC-gowaJms). Culture Club [06:43] "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" Kissing to Be Clever Epic ARE 38398 1982 Made it to number 2 on the Hot 100. Nadja & Galena [10:19] "Trying" Konstruktion Adagio830 #63 2011 A mighty fine collaboration/ Al Kooper and Shuggie Otis [13:51] "Double or Nothing" Kooper Session Columbia CS 9951 1969 Solid cover of this Booker T classic with 15-year-old Shuggie Otis on geetar! Shogin Hogiwara [16:13] "Shin-Takasago" The Koto Music of Japan Nonesuch HS-72005 1965 Based upon a famous Noh drama about the seaside town of Takasago. The New Koto Ensemble of Tokyo [18:21] "Spring" Koto Vivaldi Angel Records SQ-37450 1977 If anyone has a quadrophonic system setup, I'll be happy to bring this over for a listening session. I bet it sounds pretty dope. Krallice [26:09] "Timehusk" Krallice Gilead Media ELD-023 2019 A fine reissue of this debut NYC black metal debut on smoky green vinyl from Gilead Media. Love and Rockets [32:20] "Lucifer Sam" Kundalini Express Beggars Banquet BEG 163 T 1986 Ride that flanger! The lads taking a fair pass at the Pink Floyd classic. L.A. Witch [35:39] "Kill My Baby Tonight" L.A. Witch Suicide Squeeze SSQ155 2017 Side one, track one from the amazing debut from the amazing L.A. Witch on amazing translucent pink marbled vinyl. Nat King Cole [39:27] "The Girl from Ipanema" L♥︎O♥︎V♥︎E Capitol Records T 2195 1965 If it's Spring up here, it must be Fall down Ipanema way. Deerhoof [42:21] "Big House Waltz" La Isla Bonita Polyvinyl Record Company PRC-286 2014 One of my favorite bands with one of my favorite albums from 2014 on lovely yellow vinyl. LA Vampires & Zola Jesus [45:46] "In the Desert" LA Vampires Meets Zola Jesus Not Not Fun Records NNF195 2010 Noise dub for everyone! Nick Lowe and Rockpile [48:01] "Love So Fine" Labour of Lust Columbia JC 36087 1979 Nick Lowe and the boys having some fun on the closing track of this album. Labour of Lust made it to number 32 on the Billboard 200, largely on the strength of "Cruel to Be Kind". Music behind the DJ: "VIVALDI: Fugue (from the Estro Harmonico Op. 3, No. 11, arranged for organ by J.S. Bach)" by The Swingle Singers

Sebadoh [00:43] "Soul and Fire" Bubble & Scrape Sub Pop SP192 1993 If this song doesn't get you back together with your girlfriend, I don't know what will. Buck Owens [04:29] "A Happening in London Town" Buck Owens in London 1969 Capitol Records ST-232 1967 The Boys from Bakersfield cut loose in Dear Old Blighty. Buddy Alan [07:30] "Lodi" The Buck Owens Show Live in Las Vegas Pickwick JS-6128 1969 A chip off the old block connecting with the kids. Cat Stevens [10:54] "Oh Very Young" Buddha and the Chocolate Box A&M Records SP 3623 1974 Maybe a song about Buddy Holly? Stray Cats [14:24] "Stray Cat Strut" Built for Speed EMI America ST-17070 1982 This Dave Edmunds-produced single helped the boys from Massapequa reach number 3 on the Hot 100. Charley Pride [17:41] "Burgers and Fries" Burgers and Fries/When I Stop Leaving (I'll Be Gone) RCA Victor APL1-2983 1978 Ah yes, Ye Olden Time When Things Were Presumably Simpler. This one made it all the way to number 2 on the Hot Country Songs in 1978. Don't even ask me about the disco country single When I Stop Leaving (I'll Be Gone). Glen Campbell [20:53] "Together Again" Burning Bridges Capitol Records T-2679 1967 Well, since we've already got some Buck Owens in the show, why not some more? Burt Bacharach [23:12] "Bond Street" Reach Out A&M Records SP 4131 1967 Whoops. The jacket is for Burt's 1971 self titled album, but the record is actually his 1967 album Reach Out. But we've made the best of it with this selection from the Columbia Pictures Casino Royale film. Carpenters [26:32] "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" Burt Bacharach & Friends A&M Records SP-19007 1971 Huh, maybe this is the perfect song for these times. Boys are germy! Men at Work [29:31] "Who Can It Be Now?" Business as Usual Columbia FC 37978 1982 Every day, someone is born who has never heard Who Can It Be Now. Made it to number one on the Hot 100 and the album was multi-platinum. Pure Prairie League [32:52] "Falling in and Out of Love/Amie" Bustin' Out RCA Victor AYL1-4656 1972 (1982 reissue) String arrangements by Mick Ronson. Whaddya know. BJ Thomas [39:22] "On a Bicycle Built for Joy" Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid A&M SP 4227 1969 The main theme repeated for bicycle shenanigans as performed by Paul Newman. Audacity [43:32] "Hole in the Sky" Butter Knife Suicide Squeeze S122 2013 Fullerton's Audacity with their fine 2013 release Butter Knife, on lovely translucent orange gold. Bob Newhart [46:32] "An Infinite Number of Monkeys" The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back Warner Bros 1393 1960 Ah monkeys. What would we do without them. Fun fact: My daily quarantine routine includes watching an episode of The Bob Newhart Show while I eat my lunch (not to be confused with Newhart). Does not disappoint. Hi, Bob. Contortions [48:06] "My Infatuation" Buy ZE Records/Island ILPS 7002 1979 Some exemplary No Wave from James Chance and company. The Andrews Sisters [50:25] "Rum and Cola" By Popular Demand Decca Records DL 8360 1957 The Andrews Sisters interpretation of Lionel Belasco and Lord Invader's calypso classic, as sanitized by Morey Amsterdam. Music behind the DJ: "Alfie" by Christopher Scott

Palace Live a side: "For the Mekons, et al" b side: "Stable Will" Palace Records PR13 1996 Neil Diamond a side: "Forever in Blue Jeans" b side: "Remember Me" Columbia Records 3-10897 1978 Peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ugh, that B-side soo 70s adult contemporary (ಠ_ಠ) God Is My Co-Pilot a side: "4 Steps Down the Road to Trouble"/"I Pulled Up to Park" b side: "Iko"/"Better Get In Your Soul" The Making of Americans 1991 Whoops! Forgot to mention this excellent single in the mic break. Fun fact: Every copy of this single is 1 of 500. The Sweet a side: "Fox on the Run" b side: "Burn on the Flame" Capitol Records 4157 1975 Now this is how you incorporate synths into a song, unlike say... "Forever in Blue Jeans". Fun fact: The Scorpions covered this song?! (and "Action" too?!) Also the more recent version by The Regrettes is pretty rad too. Edgar Winter Group a side: "Free Ride" b side: "When It Comes" Epic Records 5-111025 Sounding a little like Dr. Teeth on the b-side. 1972 The J Geils Band a side: "Freezeframe" b side: "Flamethrower" EMI America B-8108 1981 Funk-y b-side! Lipps, Inc. a side: "Funkyotwn" b side: "All Night Dancing" Casablanca Records NB 2233 1979 Kind of a weird feel on the b-side. I'm supposed to dance all night to that? Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders a side: "Game of Love" b side: "Since You've Been Gone" Fontana Records F-1503 A little on the hetero-normative side, but pretty catch. And the b-side is even catchier!

Bobby Charles [00:26] a side: "Take It Easy Greasy" b side: "Time Will Tell" Chess Records 1628 1956 Some swamp pop from the Cajun ivory tamer who also penned "See You Later Alligator" and "Walking to New Orleans". The Music Machine a side: "Talk Talk" (1966) [04:42] Tierra b side: "Together" (1980) [06:44] Collectables COL 4056 Phew, I was worried for a few bars that my stereo channels were borked, but no... it's called stereo separation. Back to back hits featuring the garage rock nugget on the A side and oddly a early 80s slow jam cover of a Philly Soul classic on the B-side. Stevie Nicks [12:03] a side: "Talk to Me" b side: "Talk to Me" Modern Records 7-99582 1985 Released on Modern Records, which Stevie Nicks helped co-found. Peaked at number 4 on the Hot 100. Written by the same gentleman who wrote John Waite's 1984 single "Missing You". Dottie and Millie a side: "Talkin' About My Baby" (1966) [16:13] Tobi Lark b side: "Happiness Is Here" (1965) [18:42] Kent TOWN 120 A solid Northern Soul reissue on Kent, a subsidiary of Ace Records. The Dirtbombs [22:44] a side: "Tanzen Gehn'" b side: "The House as a Giant Bong" Sound Flat Records SFR-45-002 2005 Ja, das ist gut. Cha cha cha. And really, we should all go dancing.

Deerhoof [34:17] a side: "Tears and Music of Love" b side: "Makko Shabu" c side: "RRRRRRRight" d side: "Blue Cash" ATP Recordings ATPR8003 2009 An awesome release from ATP, yes as in All Tomorrow's Parties.

Leon Russell [00:17] "Roll Away the Stone" Leon Russell Shelter Records SHE 8901 1970 Leon with his disciples Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Steve Winwood. Duke Jordan [03:26] "The Feeling of Love No. 2" Les Liaisons Dangereuses Charlie Parker Records PLP-813 1962 Music from the "scandalous" Roger Vadim interpretation of the 1782 novel of the same name. Evidently much of the film in the music was performed by Thelonius Monk. Here, Jordan is accompanied by Eddie Kahn on bass, Art Taylor on drums, Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, and Sonny Cohn on trumpet. The Beatles [06:52] "Get Back" Let It Be Apple Records AR 34001 1970 Featuring Billie Preston on keys, and John Lennon handled lead guitar because George had briefly quit the band during the well-documented recording process. Rolling Stones [10:00] "Monkey Man" Let It Bleed London Records NPS-4 1969 Hey... more Stones! And you know I love songs about monkeys. Bill Wyman plays vibes on this track as well as bass. David Bowie [15:29] "Shake It" Let's Dance EMI America SO-17093 1983 Since we've heard both of the big hits from this album in seasons 2 and 4 of Vinyl-O-Matic, I'm going with this kinda goofy track that closes the album. Marvin Gaye [19:16] "Let's Get It On" Let's Get It On Tamla T329V1 1973 When in doubt, go with the hit. And what a hit it is. Sure that initial skip ruins the mood a bit, but that groove gets right back in there! Guided by Voices [24:07] "The Unsinkable Fats Domino" Let's Go Eat the Factory Guided by Voices, Inc. GBVI 16 2012 One of the classic iterations of the band, and their very first release on Guided by Voices, Inc. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [26:00] "I Called You Back" The Letting Go Drag City dc420 2006 A fine slow jam that closes out this mid-Aughties Will Oldham album. Recorded in Reykjavik, featuring the core lineup of brother Paul on bass, Emmett Kelly on guitar, Jim White on drums, and the always astounding Dawn McCarthy on vocals. ABC [33:14] "Poison Arrow" The Lexicon of Love Mercury SRM-1-4059 1982 A heavy rotation early 80s classic that reached number 25 on the Hot 100. Lemonheads [36:36] "Mallo Cup" Lick Taang! Records 32 1989 Not a fan of the actual Mallo Cup, but I am a fan of this song. Did you know that everyday, someone is born who has never heard Lemonheads cover Suzanne Vega's "Luka" (https://youtu.be/CW9Pv0WT2K0). The Red Clay Ramblers [38:48] "Killing Floor" A Lie of the Mind Sugar Hill Records SH-8501 1986 Music to accompany Sam Shephard's 1986 Off-Broadway play A Lie of the Mind, which featured a cast of James Gammon, Harvey Keitel, Geraldine Page, Will Patton, Amanda Plummer, Aidan Quinn, Ann Wedgeworth, and Karen Young. Leonard Cohen [40:45] "Tonight Will Be Fine" Leibestraume - Leonard Cohen singt seine schönsten Lieder CBS CBS 84718 1980 Sadly, just the original English language versions of Leonard's hits.

The Pogues [00:31] "Transmetropolitan" Red Roses for Me Enigma ST-73225 1984 Side one, track one from the Pogues debut album written by the one and only Shane MacGowan. Quite the entrance! The Police [04:40] "Bring on the Night" Regatta de Blanc A&M SP-4792 1979 Released in the US as the third single from their 1979 classic yet failed to chart. Skinny Puppy [08:56] "Glass Houses" Remission Nettwerk 12 NTWK 12 1984 Debut label release from everyone's favorite Industrial ensemble from Vancouver. the dB's [12:22] "Ask for Jill" Repercussion Albion Records ALB 109 1982 A snappy little number from Chris Stamey. I can neither confirm nor deny that I was once put on hold by a woman named Jill. Buffalo Springfield [16:03] "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" Retrospective ATCO SD 33-283 1969 Another debut and another Canadian ensemble. That's right, the first single from Buffalo Springfield. Written by Neil Young. The Chad Mitchell Trio [19:29] "The Ballad of Sigmund Freud" Returns to Carnegie Hall RCA Victor LOC-6007 1960 These fellas might want to look into getting some therapy. A little sample of the show Harry Belafonte put on once more at Carnegie Hall. Deerhoof [21:57] "Hallelujah Chorus" Reveille Global, Buddy! Records, Inc. DIAL 007 2002 The fourth studio release from one of my favorite bands to see live. Recorded by Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu. This copy of Reveille features a silver inked cover and white labels. Liberace [24:42] "El Cumbanchero" Rhapsody in Blue and Other Favorites Harmony HL 7237 1967 Some lively latin bears, composed by Puero Rican songwriter Rafael Hernández Marín and performed in a very lively manor by the bejeweled one himself. Ella Fitzgerald [29:16] "Runnin' Wild" Rhythm Is My Business Verve Records V-4056 1962 Whenever I hear a rendition of "Runnin' Wild" I just automatically hear Sugar Kane's version in Some Like It Hot (https://youtu.be/MPxmvZBFZcs). Rickie Lee Jones [31:56] "Chuck E.'s in Love" Rickie Lee Jones Warner Bros. Records BSK 3296 1979 Hey, a catchy song is a catchy song. Metallica [35:27] "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Ride the Lightning Megaforce Records MRI 769 1984 When I was a lad of sixteen or so, I had a Ride the Lightning shirt that I wore to the point of being teased for seemingly always wearing it. James Gang [41:57] "Funk #49" James Gang Rides Again ABC Records ABCS-711 1970 Funky indeed, even the cowbell. Wanda Jackson [45:40] "Stupid Cupid" Right or Wrong Capitol Records ST 1596 1962 Wanda doing a great job putting her vocal stylings to this Neil Sedaka classic.

Cat Stevens [00:34] "I Wish, I Wish" Mona Bone Jakon A&M Records SP4260 1970 The less said about the title of this album, the better. Tommy Gumina [04:15] "Love Theme From 'La Strada'" Mood Italiano Decca DL 8630 1958 Some lovely Italiano-Americano accordion playing. Dick Hyman [06:43] "The Topless Dancers of Corfu" Moog - The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman ABC Command 938-S 1969 Catchy bleep bloop. Neil Diamond [09:45] "Song Sung Blue" Moods UNI Records 93136 1972 Can't go wrong with that electric piano intro, heavily inspired by the second movement of Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major by W.A. Mozart. Sonny & the Sunsets [14:17] "Nightmares" Moods Baby Moods Polyvinyl Record Company PRC-313 2016 Super snappy album from 2016 on lovely orange vinyl. The Blazers [17:23] "Vive la Compagne and Let Us Drink" More College Drinking Songs ABC-Paramount ABCS-219 1958 It doesn't matter what era you're in, college kids are a little pre-occupied. X [20:16] "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" More Fun in the New World Elektra 60283-1 1983 It's true. Also featured in the Something Wild soundtrack. Johnny Mathis [24:26] "Call Me" More Johnny's Greatest Hits Columbia CS 8150 1959 Ringy ding a dingy ding. No not Blondie's "Call Me", and no not Petala Clark's "Call Me". The Monkees [28:26] "The Kind of Girl I Could Love" More of the Monkees Colgems COM-102 1967 My favorite Michael Nesmith song on the this, their second studio album. Nez takes the lead, with the boys on backing vocals. The Wrecking Crew help out with the likes of James Burton and Glen Campbell on guitar, Larry Knechtel on bass, the legendary Hal Blaine on drums, and Nez handles the steel guitar. Recorded in a 5 hour session on June 25, 1966. Edith Piaf [30:17] "La Vie, L'Amour" More Piaf of Paris Capitol Records ST 10283 1961 The celebrated chanteuse sings about life and love a few years before her death. Talking Heads [32:05] "Take Me to the River" More Songs about Buildings and Food Sire SRK 6058 1978 The transformative cover of the Al Green classic. Coincidentally, this version hit the charts around the same time that versions by Bryan Ferry, Foghat, and Levon Helm were also released. The 70s were a weird place. Made it to number 26 on the Hot 100. Fritz Busch conducting the Glyndbourne Festival Orchestra [38:46] "Overture" Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro Seraphim IC-6128 1983 (recorded in 1934/35) Just a little something in the key of D. Nirvana [42:34] "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" MTV Unplugged in New York DGC DGC-24727 1994 A powerful rendition of this traditional song, inspired by Leadbelly and Mark Lanegan. Music behind the DJ: "Call Me" by New Classic Singers

Dolly Parton [00:23] a side: "9 to 5" b side: "Sing for the Common Man" RCA Records PB-12133 1980 What a way indeed. Dolly was only the second woman to top both the Country and Hot 100 charts, the first being Jeannie C Riley with Harper Valley PTA. Cliff Jackson and the Naturals [06:56] a side: "Nine Below Zero" b side: "Up the Wall" Midnight Sun MS-2 The Sonny Boy Williamson classic. ? and the Mysterians [12:22] a side: "96 Tears" b side: "Midnight Hour" Cameo Records C-428 1966 Damn fine stuff. too many tear drops, not enough Vox Continental. Nena [17:31] a side: "99 Luftaballons" b side: "99 Red Balloons" Epic Records 34-04108 1983 In case you're wondering, the German lyrics are better. Badfinger [26:13] a side: "No Matter What" b side: "Carry On Till Tomorrow" Apple Records 1822 1970 Some great stereo guitars going on here, plus some great Leslie/Rotovibe stuff. And the b-side is the theme song from the film The Magic Christian. Evidentally there is a Def Leppard cover of "No Matter What", but you'll have to go find that yourself. Bazan and Deerhoof [33:07] a side: "No One Asked Bazan to Dance" b side: "Gas and Matches" Polyvinyl Records PRC9132 2012 A pretty wonderful appropriation of Deerhoof by Dave Bazan on the a-side. Lovely translucent blue vinyl. FIDLAR [40:01] a side: "No Waves" b side: "No Ass" MOM + POP MP054 2012 Don't we all want a perfect left and a sunset shore. Whitey on the Moon UK [43:47] a side: "noam chomsky spring break/forty dollar rug" b side: "flippin' bump with goldie/sailing by night" Isota Records sody013 2002 Gettin trippy with Whitey, which would eventually become Department of Eagles. Music behing the DJ: "Match Game Theme"

Pallbearer [00:34] "An Offering of Grief" Sorrow and Extinction 20 Buck Spin SPIN048 2012 Full-length debut from this heavy doomy band from Little Rock AR. Easily one of the best records of 2012. Ray Charles & Milt Jackson [09:06] "Soul Meeting" Soul Meeting Atlantic SD 1360 1962 Two great tastes that vibe great together. Featuring Ray on piano, Milt on vibes, Kenny Burrell on guitar, Percy Heath on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. This one was written by Jackson, with illuminating parts from both Milt Jackson and Kenny Burrell. Curtis Harding [16:08] "Freedom" Soul Power Burger Records BRGR600 2014 Debut outing from this Atlanta musician. Describing his sound as "slop 'n soul", this one track has a definite Arthur Lee feel. Lou Rawls [18:49] "A Whole Lotta Woman" Soulin' Capitol Records T 2566 1966 Not a whole lotta love, not a whole lotta Rosie, but a whole lotta woman. John Coltrane with Red Garland [21:27] "Theme for Ernie" Soultrane Prestige 7142 1958 One of Coltrane's showcases for his distinctive sheets of sound style. Joined here by Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and again Art Taylor on drums. Les and Larry Elgart and their Orchestra [26:24] "You're My Thrill" Sound Ideas Columbia CL 1123 1958 Hailing from Pompton, New Jersey, these brothers developed their "Elgart Sound" in 1952 and released over half a dozen albums before parting after this album to pursue their musical interests. Mary Martin et al [30:02] "The Lonely Goatherd" The Sound of Music (Original Broadway Cast) Columbia Masterworks KOL 5450 1959 Now that's what I call yodeling! Pre-Julie Andrews obviously. Mary Martin was perhaps best known as playing the title role in the Broadway production of Peter Pan. Not sure how I knew this, but maybe it was due to living in New York for 20 years naking Broadway trivia inescapable. The Sinceros [33:23] "Take Me to Your Leader" The Sound of Sunbathing Epic EPC 83632 1979 The sticker on the cover says that this track is their featured single, so that's what I'm going with. Power pop-y new wave-y. Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass [37:10] "Casino Royale" Sounds Like... Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass A&M LP124 1967 You know I love a good shaggy dog of a film, and Casino Royale is definitely that. Well, the Daniel Craig version is too, but I'm talking about the 1967 comedy version with David Niven as Sir James Bond. Ravi Shankar [39:47] "An Introduction to Indian Music" The Sounds of India Columbia CS 9296 1968 (originally released in 1958) Re-released to tap into the growing interest thanks to the Beatles' interest in Indian music (specifically George Harrison). Relax! Simon & Garfunkel [43:56] "We've Got a Groovey Thing Goin'" The Sounds of Silence Columbia CS 9269 1966 Helped out here by The Wrecking Crew, including Glen Campbell and Joe South on guitar, Hal Blaine on drums, and Larry Knechtel on the Ray Charles-esque electric piano. Scott Walker + Sunn O))) [47:22] "Brando (Dweller on the Bluff)" Soused 4AD CAD 3428 2014 On the surface, it's an odd pairing, but as the music that fills this album suggests, it's a perfect pairing. Sunn O)))'s Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley had originally reached out to Walker about contributing to their 2009 album Monoliths and Dimensions but were unable to coordinate. Walker subsequently contacted about contributing drones to fill in the silence between his lyrics while working on his epic 2012 release Bish Bosch. Evidently, Sunn O))) brought their full stage equipment to Walker's studio for recording. If you are unfamiliar, it's a wall of Ampeg, Marshall, and HiWatt speakers with Ampeg SVT and Sunn Model T heads. Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass [56:06] "The Girl from Ipanema" South of the Border A&M SP-108 1964 South of the border, down Rio de Janiero way. Music behind the DJ: "If I Fell" by Perry Botkin Jr and his Orchestra

George Jones [00:22] "Time Changes Everything" The Race Is On United Artists UAS 6422 1965 A very George Jones take on this Bob Wills/Tommy Duncan classic. Nadja [03:58] "Now I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds" Radiance of Shadows Conspiracy Records CORE064 2008 My gateway drug for Nadja. I had read a review of this album which mentioned a new concept to me: ambient doom. I ordered the CD and the next thing I knew I was hooked. Fifteen years later I am still enthralled. Big Star [25:39] "O My Soul" Radio City Big Beat Records WIK 54 1986 (original release Ardent ADS-1501 1974) Mono, man! Side one track one from this outstanding follow up to their debut #1 Record. And if you've never seen the documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me (https://youtu.be/gxAbkqRGxqY), I can recommend it if you think you might be interested. Poppa John Gordy [31:15] "Tip Toe through the Tulips with Me" Ragtime Piano RCA Victor LPM-1060 1955 Yup, that's some ragtime piano all right. Made famous by Nick Lucas in an early the early talkie hit movie Gold Diggers of Broadway (https://youtu.be/0-MPTrWJ1uM). John Williams [33:12] "The Map Room: Dawn" Raiders of the Lost Ark - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Columbia JS 37373 1981 My favorite scene from the film, and favorite music cue of the soundtrack. Tom Waits [37:09] "Tango Till They're Sore" Rain Dogs Island Records 90299-1 1985 The album that was my gateway to the world of Tom Waits. B.J. Thomas [41:27] "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head Scepter Records SKAO 93045 1969 Fare thee well, Burt Bacharach. For those of you who prefer streaming music services, you'll find this song under B.J. Thomas, not Burt Bacharach or the Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid soundtrack. The more you know. Nat King Cole [44:31] "Your Cheatin' Heart" Ramblin' Rose Capitol Records ST-1793 1965 (orignal release 1962) Perhaps Nat was taking a cue from Ray Charles' Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music? Jimmy Buffett [46:59] "Rancho Deluxe (End Title)" Rancho Deluxe United Artists Records UA-LA466 1975 I actually dig this soundtrack quite a bit. The film is a neo-western with a script by Tom McGuane. It is very much of its time, but if you can get past that, there are some excellent performances from Harry Dean Stanton, Slim Pickens, and Charlene Dallas. And you can see Jimmy Buffett and band performing in a bar scene that features Jeff Bridges and Harry Dean Stanton playing Pong (https://youtu.be/d_p4NsgH05E). Music behind the DJ: "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds" by Lawrence Welk

Sarah Vaughan [00:36] "Hey Naughty Papa" Sassy Mercury Wing MGW 12237 1962 (originally released in 1956) Hey now. Evidently this one was written by Hoagy Carmichael? Here Sarah is backed by Hal Mooney and his Orchestra. Subway [02:51] "Jupiter" Satellites Soul Jazz Records SJR 157-12 2007 Beep boop boop beep. Jerry Byrd [08:27] "Cold Cold Heart" Satin Strings of Steel Monument SLP 8033 1965 Getting very aloha with Hank's classic. Glen Campbell [11:06] "Lonesome Jailhouse Blues" A Satisfied Mind Pickwick SPC-3134 1971 A repackaging of the Glen's Capitol Records 1966 album Big Bluegrass Special. Bee Gees [14:28] "Jive Talkin'" Saturday Night Fever (The Original Movie Sound Track) RSO RS-2-4001 1977 Sometimes you just have to go with the hit. Oh wait, they're all hits. The Hot Dogs [18:13] "Feel Real Fine" Say What You Mean Ardent Records ADS-2805 1973 A great little gem of a Big Star adjacent album. Digging this track by Terry Manning. Tom Jones [21:12] "Come to Me" Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow Epic PE 34468 1977 That's right, the theme song from The Pink Panther Strikes Again (https://youtu.be/vH4-8qR79WY?si=t1IrFzJuuVfkDknP&t=7) (Edwards, 1976). You know, the one with the castle in Bavaria? My brothers and I went with my mother to see this one in the theaters instead of staying home and watching Super Bowl XI (Raiders v Vikings) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XI). Daniel Ocko [24:07] "The Guitar Player" Great Ghost Stories Troll Records 50-002 1973 Oops... right genre, wrong cover. The record is Great Ghost Stories but the sleeve is Scary Spooky Stories. Harry Nilsson [31:27] "Gotta Get Up" Schmilsson RCA LSP 4515 1971 (1979 reissue) Aleatoric glissando. Look it up. Rafael Kubelik conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra [33:51] "Schoenberg: 5 Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 16 - Peripetia" Shoenberg/Bartok - 5 Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 16/Music for Stringed Instruments, Percussion, and Celesta Mercury MG-50026 1953 blah Pete Townshend [36:04] "Squeezebox" Scoop ATCO Records 7 99063-1-F 1983 A pretty solid demo from a compilation full of Who demos. Scott Walker [38:34] "Amsterdam" Scott (Aloner) Smash Records SRS 67099 1967 Alright, so I'm cheating a little on this one too. The US release of Walker's first album, Scott, was titled Aloner. But I didn't have this album when we were running through Albums that begin with the letter A as in Alpha. It's really difficult to pick just one song to play here. My instinct wanted to go with "The Lady Came from Baltimore (https://youtu.be/7gFECZErdBY?si=Pi-CIpL5RRu22aA7)" but the atmosphere of his cover of Brel's "Amsterdam" (https://youtu.be/-Z0UGGvb4sQ?si=2SIFvLXn7CvA80UT) is so good. Siouxsie & the Banshees [43:21] "Mirage" The Scream Polydor POLD 5009 1978 The amazing debut album from Siouxsie and the Banshees. A pretty remarkable effort front to back. The version of "Mirage" that appears on this album gains a little polish but still retains the energy of the Peel Session version the year before (https://youtu.be/0S_vlZg7xBQ?si=1NqDL9OM6OhrSn50). Judas Priest [46:11] "The Hellion/Electric Eye" Screaming for Vengeance Columbia FC 38160 1982 One of the greatest 1-2 punches in album opening history. You know exactly what you are in store for. Fourteen year-old me was completely enthralled with the sound of this album. Hap Palmer [50:31] "Sweetwater Springs" Sea Gulls... Music for Rest and Relaxation Activity Records AR 584 1978 Woof. File under Easy Listening. Why do I feel the sudden urge to make a macrame plant hanger? Will Oldham [52:15] "Sapele" Seafarers Music Drag City DC261 2004 Music to accompany a documentery by. Music behind the DJ: "Cold Cold Heart" by Lawrence Welk and Orchestra

Nadja [00:50] "Dagdrøm" Dagdrøm Broken Spine Producions BSP06 2012 Nadja's "rock" album featuring Mac McNeilly of The Jesus Lizard on drums. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers [09:01] "Even the Losers" Damn the Torpedoes Backstreet Records MCA-5105 1979 Long time Vinyl-O-Matic listeners will know tha this is the first album Your Old Pal Will ever purchased with his own money. And that "Even the Losers" has always been my go-to track. Gamelan Orchestra [13:35] "Baris" Dancers of Bali Columbia Masterworks ML 4618 1952 A great collection of gamelan pieces from the village of Pliatan. Another one from the Djerassi Foundation that somehow made it into my collection. Freakwater [16:50] "Wild and Blue" Dancing Underwater Thrill Jockey Records thrill 040 1997 Originally released as a CD in 1991, this 1997 Thrill Jockey release does a great job capturing the band. Marianne Faithfull [20:08] "For Beauty's Sake" Dangerous Acquaintances Island Records ILPS 9648 1981 A number penned with Steve Winwood. One could say that For Beauty's Sake was the production approach on this watered-down follow up to Broken English. The Human League [23:38] "The Things that Dream Are Made Of" Dare A&M Records/Virgin SP-4892 1982 Anyone here like The Human League? (https://youtu.be/wk5pO06BdSk) The Folk Implosion [28:58] "Insinuation" Dare to Be Surprised Communion Label COMM 45 1997 Hi-fi lo-fi? David Bazan [33:23] "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" Dark Sacred Night Suicide Squeeze S150 2016 Well, if you have to visit Christmas in July, this seems like the song to play. Pink Floyd [36:05] "Breathe" The Dark Side of the Moon Harvest SMAS-11163 1973 Insert rant about classic rock radio ruining so much music through incessant repetition. Tom Jones [39:00] "Dime Queen of Nevada" Darlin' Mercury SRM-1-4010 1981 If you think the cover of this album is creepy, you should see the back cover. Yikes! Dave Mason [43:07] "Every Woman" Dave Mason Columbia PC 33096 1974 I'm a little uncomfortable with the lyrics of this song. If every woman is like her, then she's like every woman... and... I... what? David Gilmour [46:08] "There's No Way Out of Here" David Gimour CBS/Sony 25AP 1077 1978 Hey, turns out I have the Japanese pressing of this album. The wonders of absorbing other folks' collections. Nomeansno [51:17] "Beauty and the Beast" The Day Everything Became Nothing Alternative Tentacles VIRUS 62 1988 Awesome kooky stuff from North of the Border. Sonic Youth [55:02] "Hey Joni" Daydream Nation Enigma Records/Blast First 7 75403-1 1988 I'll go with Lee's tracks all day long on this album. So good. Music behind the DJ: "Clouseau's Theme" by Henry Mancini

Faces [00:33] "Miss Judy's Farm" A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse Warner Bros. Records BS 2574 1971 The lads at peak form, produced by none other than Glyn Johns. Soft Cell [04:09] "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret Sire SRK 3647 1981 Excellent low-key groove from these Leeds lads. There's fun cover of this by Japanese duo Salon Music and Russell Mael of Sparks (https://youtu.be/s6M69rLUMfE). Aidan Baker & Karen Williams [09:37] "Meeting in the Dark" Nonland Gizeh Records GZH74 2017 Guitarscapes by Aidan Baker and percussion by Karen Willems. Atari Teenage Riot [15:03] "Atari Teenage Riot" Not Your Business EP 1996 Grand Royal GR039/Digital Hardcore Recordings DHR US 12.1 Yup, digital hardcore was a thing. The Partridge Family presentado a Shirly Jones y David Cassidy [20:26] "Nadie Desea Ser Amada (Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted)" Al Dia (Up to Date) Bell Records 2308 004 1971 Jeez leweez, never trust a kid to refile records correctly. Why is there a copy of The Partridge Family's Up to Date in the sleeve for The Partridge Family Notebook? And why is the label in Spanish but none of the songs are in Spanish. Oh well. Herb Ellis [23:07] "Big Red's Boogie Woogie" Nothing but the Blues Verve Records MG V-8252 1957 Hot! Featuring Stan Levey on drums, Ray Brown on bass, Stan Getz on tenor sax, and Roy Eldridge on trumpet. Big Star [28:46] "When My Baby's Beside Me" No. 1 Record Big Beat Records WIK 53 1986 (original release: Ardent Records DS-2083 1972) Every day someone is born who has never heard Big Star. If you are one of those people, enjoy! The Number Ones [32:09] "Sharon Shouldn't" The Numbers Static Shock Records SSR024 2014 Hot mid-teens power pop punk from Dublin. Iron Maiden [35:56] "The Prisoner" The Number of the Beast Harvest ST-12202 1982 Bruce Dickinson's debut outing with Maiden. This album loomed large in my adolescence. Evidently Mr. Dickinson is touring with a spoken word show? (https://youtu.be/R9jfm-9L0q4) TacocaT [41:59] "Psychedlic Quinceañera" NVM Hardly Art HAR-079 2014 So many awesome songs on this album that it's hard to pick just one, but really... This Is the One! From the lyrics to the trumpets, what's not to love? Romeo Void [44:10] "Never Say Never" Never Say Never Columbia/415 Records 5C 38178 1981 Every day someone is born who has never heard "Never Say Never". If one of those people is you, enjoy! Thank goodness for the early days of MTV otherwise I would have had no idea this sound existed. Alan Price [50:16] "O Lucky Man!" O Lucky Man! Original Sountrack Warner Bros. Records BS 2710 1973 I've been obsessed with this Alan Price soundtrack since I first heard it in this over-long shaggy dog of a film by Lindsay Anderson. L.A. Witch [54:44] "Heart of Darkness" Octubre Suicide Squeeze SSQ166 2019 Mellow down spooky. Bobbie Gentry [57:12] "Mississippi Delta" Ode to Billie Joe Captiol Records ST-2830 1967 One of the hottest track one side ones you could ask for. Mulatu Astatke [01:00:22] "Munaye" Mulatu of Ethiopia Worthy Records W-1020 1972 (2003 reissue) Putting the funk in Ethiopian jazz. The Cramps [01:03:54] "I Can't Hardly Stand It" ...Off the Bone Illegal Records ILPIC 012 1985 The Cramps give this Charlie Feathers number (https://youtu.be/8h_O6U1xMlc) a fine take. There's some great local television footage of Alex Chilton helping The Cramps record at Sun Studios if you shake the internet. Music behind the DJ: "Goldfinger" by Mantovani

Guided by Voices [00:58] "Echos Myron" Bee Thousand Scat Records SCAT 35 1994 One of the many classics from this canonical lo-fi album on beautiful translucent blue vinyl. If you're the sort that digs the 33 1/3 book series, there is an excellent one on this album. Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra [03:39] "Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67: Scherzo-Allegro/Allegro; Presto" Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67/Egmont Overture Op. 84/Coriolan Overture, Op. 62/Overture "Leonore" No. 3, Op. 7a Mercury MG 50017 1953 Well, the cover says Beethoven: Eroica Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major, but instead, it's a completely different Beethoven piece by a different orchestra, on a different label. Ah well. Can't argue with free. Otto Klemperer conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra [12:52] "Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93: II. Allegretto Scherzando" Symphony No. 1 & No. 8 Angel Records 35657 1958 Supposedly this is a parody of a metronome. Gotta love musical jokes. And yes, Otto Klemperer is the father of beloved actor Werner Klemperer. Bob Dylan/The Band [18:38] "All Along the Watchtower" Before the Flood Asylum Records AB-201 1974 Some interesting items on this double live album. Some less interesting and chaotic things. All Along the Watchtower seems to be a solid symbiosis between Bob and the Band. The Rolling Stones [22:01] "Stray Cat Blues" Beggars Banquet London Records PS 539 A rockin blues number from Jagger and Richards, supposedly inspired by VU's Heroin. It also features Brian Jones on mellotron. The beginning of the end for Mr. Jones. Cannonball Adderley [26:39] "Spectacular" Beginnings Mercury EMS-2-404 1976 Recorded February 6, 1975, with Nat Adderley on cornet, Junior Mance on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums.

(1939) Barenreiter Musicaphon BM 30 L 1803 This selection used to belong to the Djerassi Foundation in Woodside CA. I wonder which artist liberated this from their collection. Stevie Nicks [47:23] "Edge of Seventeen" Bella Donna Modern Records MR 38-139 1981 Quadruple platinum from everyone's favorite witchy woman, on the record label that Stevie co-founded with Danny Goldberg and Paul Fishkin. Nadja [52:46] "Skin Like Sand" Belles Bêtes Beta-lactam Ring Records 2009 The first of many tracks you will be hearing from the transcendent duo known as Nadja (https://nadja.bandcamp.com/music). This track is a reinterpretation of a solo project by member Aidan Baker entitled Songs of Flowers & Skin. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

The Benny Goodman Quartet [00:27] "Stompin' at the Savoy" Made in Japan Capitol Records ST 2282 1965 A recording of a performance from February 25, 1964 in Tokyo. Rounding out the quartet are Dick Shreve on piano, Colin Bailey on drums, and Monty Budwig on bass. Madness [04:32] "Night Boat to Cairo" Madness Geffen Records GHS 4003 1983 The boys 1979 single added here to their 1983 US self-title compilation. Madonna [07:47] "Lucky Star" The Immaculate Collection Sire 1-26400 1990 Number smash hit on the dance club charts, and number 4 on the Hot 100 in 1983. Badfinger [11:24] "Come and Get It" Magic Christian Music Apple Records ST-3364 1970 Badfinger do a fine job with song that Paul McCartney originally recorded as a demo during the Abbey Road sessions. Pearl Charles [15:11] "What I Need" Magic Mirror Kanine Records KR242LP-C1 2021 Easily one of my favorite albums this year on magical blue vinyl. Super dig the electric piano vibes on this track. Sarah Vaughan [18:34] "That Old Black Magic" The Magic of Sarah Vaughan Mercury Wing MGW 12280 1959 (1964 reissue) A fine rendition of the Arlen/Spencer classic from Sarah Vaughan's last album on Mercury Wing. Zamfir [21:26] "Just the Way You Are" The Magic of Zamfir Heartland Music HL1017 1984 Master of the Pan Flute! Probably the only time you will hear either Zamfir or Billy Joel on Vinyl-O-Matic is when this album comes up in rotation. Deerhoof [25:46] "The Devil and His Anarchic Surrealist Retinue" The Magic Polyvinyl Record Company PRC-315 2016 Lucky number 13! Yes that's right, this is the 13th studio album from one of my favorite bands on awesome white and purple starburst vinyl. Thou [30:16] "The Changeling Prince" Magus Sacred Bones Records SBR205 2018 One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums from 2018. An awesome silver vinyl release with wax-sealed screenprinted sleeve. Gerry Mulligan and his Sextet [36:43] "Ain't It the Truth" Mainstream of Jazz EmArcy MG 36101 1956 A fine West Coast Jazz rendition of a Count Basie number. Recorded January 25, 1956 in New York featuring Mulligan on baritone sax, Zoot Sims on tenor sax, Bobby Brookmeyer on trombone, Jon Eardley on trumpet, Bill Crow on bass, and Dave Bailey on drums. Wham! [42:04] "Careless Whisper" Make It Big Columbia FC 39595 1984 Number one hit from a number one album with an iconic sax riff. Burt Bacharach [49:53] "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" Make It Easy on Yourself A&M Records SP 4188 1970 For you photography nerds out there: cover photo by Gary Winogrand. Leon & Mary Russell [52:59] "Now Now Boogie" Make Love to the Music Paradise Records PAK 3066 1977 Ok... I'm boogie-ing! Charley Pride [55:55] "Above and Beyond (the Call of Love)" Make Mine Country RCA Victor LSP-3952 1968 A mighty fine rendition of this Harlan Howard's classic from Charley's 4th studio album, which also happened to reach the number 4 spot on the country charts. The Bobbleheads [58:02] "Turn the Radio On (the Perfect Song)" Make Yourself Happy Poppop Records poppop 14002 2014 Some outstanding power bubblegum from San Francisco. Turn it on! Music behind the DJ: "Come and Get It" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

Jimmy Buffett [01:17] "Dallas" A1A ABC Dunhill DSD-50183 1974 Still the decent country-oriented Buffett. This one was penned by the Coral Reefer's guitarist Roger Bartlett. Made it to number 25 on the Billboard 200. Darryl Hall & John Oates [04:42] "She's Gone" Abandoned Luncheonette Atlantic Records SD 7269 1973 To be honest, I really like "Las Vegas Turnaround", the track that precedes "She's Gone" but sometimes you just have to go with the hits. It's possible that somewhere out there in listener land, there is someone who has never heard "She's Gone". Hit #33 on the charts and turned platinum 29 years after its release. ABBA [10:09] "SOS" ABBA Atlantic Records SD 18146 1975 Too many tracks to choose from! I almost went with "Hey Hey Helen" but in the I had to send for help. While the album only just dented the Billboard 200 reaching #174, as a single "SOS" made it to #15 on the Hot 100. Count Basie Orchestra [13:31] "Jumpin' at the Woodside" The ABC Collection ABC Records AC-30004 1976 A 1976 reissue of Count Basie's 1969 Dot Records release Standing Ovation, recorded at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. Chelsea Wolfe [18:49] "Crazy Love" Abyss Sargent House SH141 2015 Continuing her evolution, this is one of the more brooding tracks from this excellent Sargent House release. This was also the first Chelsea Wolfe album to chart, making it up to #130. I'll also take this opportunity to let interested parties know that if you have the opportunity to see Chelsea Wolfe live, you should do it. Kiss [22:21] "New York Groove" Ace Frehley Casablanca Records NBLP 7121 1978 Back in the New York Groove, backed by such NY session musicians as Anton Fig and Will Lee. Of course this album made it well into the Billboard 200, peaking out at 26. It was also certified platinum a month after its release. Of course this is in the pre-Soundscan days, so that just meant that 1,000,000 copies of the album were shipped out, which explains why I picked up this remaindered copy for $1. Luke Sweeney [25:29] "Sympathy for the Night" Adventure: Us Aerobic International 2014 Speaking of grooves, this track by Bay Area musican Luke Sweeney has a very solid one. Nilsson [28:30] "One" Aerial Ballet RCA Victor LSP-3956 1968 Again, so many great songs to choose from, some of which we'll hear as we progress through the season, but I decided to go with this "One" ^.^ While this track failed to chart as a single, a year later Three Dog Night would take their rendition all the way up to number 5 on the Hot 100. Havens, Richie [32:45] "To Give All Your Love Away" Alarm Clock Stormy Forest SFS 6005 1971 A vert solid jam from Ritchie Haven's most successful album, featuring Rick Derringer on electric guitar. Monty Python [35:37] "Constitutional Peasants" Album to the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Executive Version Arista AB 4050 1975 Seems relevant. Alison Moyet [38:37] "Honey for Bees" Alf Columbia Records BFC 39956 1984 A solo outing from the vocal powerhouse half of Yaz, produced by early 80s mega producers Jolley & Swain. Patti Austin covered this song as a single a year later and took it into the top dance club singles. Moev [42:48] "Alibis" Alibis Nettwerk 12 NTWK 11 1984 I had almost forgotten about this Canadian synth pop outfit. I had their album Yeah, Whatever once upon a time as a cassette, and then this 12" single recently made it into my collection. Hakuna matata. The She’s [49:22] "Eva's Interlude/Anywhere But Here" All Female Rock and Roll Quartet Empty Cellar Records EMP 034 2017 Great band, great album, and a great interlude! The vinyl release has a fantastic bookley featuring artwork by women who inspire the band. Earth, Wind & Fire [54:24] "Magic Mind" All n’ All Columbia Records 34905 1977 Yet still even more hot stuff from Earth Wind & Fire. The gents made it all the way up to number 3 on the album charts and went on to go triple platinum. Diana Ross [58:09] "Upside Down" All the Great Hits Motown M13-960C2 1981 Defintely enjoying the handywork of Chic's Nile Rodger and Bernard Edwards on this late-disco classic. Sarah Vaughan [01:02:15] "It's Delovely" All Time Favorites Mercury Wing MGW 12123 1965 Two great classics that taste great together. I'm talking about Sarah Vaughan and Cole Porter. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

Foxy [00:30] a side: "Hot Number" b side: "Call It Love" Dash Records 5050 1979 Nice medium groove b-side, but that a-side! Awe yeah, rock that talk box. Follow up to their 1978 smash hit "Get Off". Label brethren to KC & the Sunshine Band (and Weird Al for that matter). Kim Deal [08:56] a side: "Hot Shot" b side: "Likkle More" Not On Label DEAL02-7 2013 The 2nd of 5 solo singles released by Deal. Donna Summer [14:18] a side: "Hot Stuff" b side: "Journey to the Center of Your Heart" Casablanca Records NB 978 1979 Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder of course, but also Skunk Baxter guitar solo? Hot stuff indeed! Bobby Hatfield [22:05] a side: "Hot Tamales" b side: "I Need a Girl" Moonglow Records M-220 1963 You know I love a good food song. Ace [28:33] a side: "How Long" b side: "Sniffn' About" Anchor Records ANC-21000 1974 This is about as close to hearing Mike + the Mechanics on Vinyl-O-Matic as you'll likely ever get. Bruce Springsteen [36.35] a side: "Hungry Heart" b side: "Held Up with a Gun" Columbia Records 11-11391 1980 Written for the Ramones? What? I would love to hear a Ramones version of this song. The b-side seems a little atypical... but what do I know, I'm not much of a Springsteen afficianado. Chelsea Wolfe [42:10] a side: "Hypnos" b side: "Flame" Sargent House Records SH155 2016 Beautifully doomy. Elvis Costello [49:49] a side: "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" b side: "Girls Talk" Columbia Records 1-11194 1980 Stand up, sit down, rah rah rah, Elvis Elvis, rah rah rah! Music behind the DJ: "Leopard Tree Dream" by Giorgio Moroder

Carrie Nations [01:03] "Sweet Talkin' Candy Man" Beyond the Valley of the Dolls 20th Century Records TFS 4211 1970 Vocals by Lynn Carey. Fuzzbox [03:22] "Walking on Ice" Big Bang! Geffen Records GHS 24185 1989 They do have a fuzzbox and they know how to cover Yoko Ono. Bongwater [07:10] "Love Song" The Big Sell-Out Shimmy Disc 050 1992 The last outing from the Ann Magnuson and Kramer, with support from David Licht and Randolph A. Hudson III. Björk [11:00] "Big Time Sensuality (The Fluke Minimix)" Big Time Sensuality Elektra O-66244 1993 Björk's solo breakout track is still pretty damned awesome. Bikini Kill [16:11] "Double Dare Ya" Bikini Kill Kill Rock Stars KRS-204 1992 Wowsers. Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox, Tbi Vail and Billy Boredom. Still mighty powerful. Billie Holiday [18:55] "Everything I Have Is Yours" Billie Holiday Metro M-515 1965 This tune was a hit in a 1933 pre-Code Crawford/Gable musical called Dancing Lady. Destiny's Child [22:45] "Bills, Bills, Bills" Bills, Bills, Bills Columbia CAS 42631-S1 Destiny's lead single from The Writing's on the Wall and their first number 1 on the Hot 100. Mahavishnu Orchestra [27:01] "Miles Beyond (Miles Davis)" Birds of Fire Columbia KC 31996 1973 That's right. Not just jazz fusion guitar but also jazz fusion elecric violin. But the grooves laid down by Billy Cobham and Rick Laird, and the groovy Rhodes from Jan Hammer make the experience more enjoyable. Chelsea Wolfe [32:40] "Deranged for Rock & Roll" Birth of Violence Sargent House SH217 2019 Excellent atmospheric folky doom from Chelsea Wolfe on red/black galaxy vinyl. Depeche Mode [36:11] "But Not Tonight" Black Celebration Sire 1-25429 1986 I was going to go with the broodier "New Dress" but then when I heard to opening strains of this track, I was like... oh yeah. John Barry [40:28] "Six Robots" The Black Holes Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Buena Vista Records 5008 1979 A very Bond-ian soundtrack for a sci-fi film. King Tuff [42:25] "Headbanger" Black Moon Spell Sub Pop SP 1080 2014 Hook master Kyle Thomas bringing us some tasty metallic power pop on glow in the dark splatter vinyl. The Cecil Holmes Soulful Sounds [47:09] "Across 110th Street" The Black Motion Picture Experience Buddah Records 5129 1973 Buddah Record's own Cecil Holmes bringing us his rendition of the Bobby Womack classic title track to the film of the same name. Cecil would later go on to co-found Casablanca Records. Talking Heads [49:34] "Blind (Extended Remix)" Blind Sire Records PRO-A-3182 1988 No good can come of extended remixes. More is not necessarily better. This just leaves me wanting to hear the album track. Dead in the Dirt [57:16] "Suffer" The Blind Hole Southern Lord Records LORD176 2013 Saw these vegan grindcore masters open for Sunn O))) at the Mezzanine in SF and they were mighty impressive. Thomas Dolby [58:25] "Blinded by Science (Extended Version)" Blinded by Science Harvest MLP-15007 1983 Huh, perhaps Extended Versions are better than Extended Remixes. Sometimes. Featuring bass synthesizer from Matthew Seligman, original member of the Soft Boys who recently passed away. Music behind the DJ: "Dance with Domino" by John Barry

James White and the Blacks [00:24] "Contort Yourself" Off White 4 Men with Beards 4M 504 2002 (original released in 1979) A little something for all your No Wave Funk needs. DEVO [03:30] "Peek-A-Boo" Oh, No! It's DEVO Warner Bros. Records 9 23741-1 1982 One of the more memorable videos from the early MTV era. (https://youtu.be/nrudnbUoYAw) And certainly relevant today. Zola Jesus [06:27] "Exhumed" Okovi Sacred Bones Records SBR-184 2017 Killer track from one of my favorite albums of 2017. If you've never seen Zola Jesus live, I highly recommend it. Niki Danilova is a helluva performer (https://youtu.be/jtd_q0jiYw4?t=5). Fritzi Bielmeier [10:09] "Fairgrounds, Fair Organ, Brewery Horses and Wagaon pass by/Holzhacker Baum" Oktoberfest: The Music and Sounds of the Biggest Beer Party in the World Decca DL 4332 1959 Why, it's just like being there, apart from the vomit and sawdust. Tennessee Ernie Ford with Dorothy Gill [16:01] "Ain't Nobody's but My Own" Ol' Rockin' Ern Capitol Records T888 1957 Ol' Ern rocks out, no doubt to impress a Wicked City Woman (https://youtu.be/xSdBpDgfSGY). Guy Clark [17:57] "To Live Is to Fly" Old Friends Sugar Hill Records SH 1025 1988 Guy taking this excellent Townes Van Zandt song for a nice trip with the help of Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals. The Madrid Festival de Matadors Orchestra [21:11] "Gallito" "Olé" Music of the Bull Ring Bravo! Records K 125 ? If are curious about the origins of bullfighting in Spain, the intros to a good number of Cocaine and Rhinestones Season 2 episodes (https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/episodes/season-two) will satisfy your needs (as well as any George Jones and Tammy Wynnette needs you may have). Donna Summers [23:35] "I Feel Love" On the Radio - Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2 Casablanca NBLP-2-7191 1979 The sadly too-short 7" edit of this epic Giorgio Moroder classic, second only in my mind to Sparks' "Number One Song in Heaven (https://youtu.be/P6I6yr7WDeg)". Siouxsie and the Banshees [29:05] "Christine" Once Upon a Time/The Singles PVC Records PVC 8906 1981 The second single from their 1980 album Kaleidoscope, marked by the addition of John McGeoch on guitar. Cheap Trick [32:04] "Saturday at Midnight" One on One Epic FE 38021 1982 Cheap Trick try on Sparks? Produced by the legendary Roy Thomas Baker. Shannon & the Clams [35:02] "Onion" Onion Easy Eye Sound EES-004 2018 Recorded at Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound Studio. So much goodness on this album, so I opted for my favorite track. Red Fang [37:49] "Flies" Only Ghosts Relapse Records RR 7347 2016 Hot track one, side one from the fourth studio effort by Portland's very own Red Fang. St. Etienne [42:52] "Stoned to Say the Least (Album Version)" Only Love Can Break Your Heart Warner Bros. Records 0-40196 1991 As heard on the wonderful Foxbase Alpha. The Dirtbombs [50:35] "Hey! Cookie" Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-Blooey In the Red Recordings ITR-248 2013 The Dirtbombs! Bubblegum pop! What more could you ask for?! Jerry Lee Lewis [53:23] "Money" Original Golden Hits - Volume 2 Sun SUN 103 1969 The Killer slays this Bradford/Gordy classic. The Ink Spots [55:37] "We'll Meet Again" Original Ink Spots Vol. 1 Coronet Records CX-101 1959 It's true, we will meet again. Hopefully sooner rather than later!

Lumbar [00:49] "Day One" The First and Last Days of Unwelcome Southern Lord LORD 186 2013 Heaviness from Aaron Edge, Mike Scheidt of Yob, and the great Tad Doyle. Roberta Flack [05:55] "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" First Take Atlantic SD 8230 1969 Roberta Flack's debut album, featuring this great take on the Leonard Cohen song. Ron Carter plays bass joins her on bass, along with Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar and Ray Lucas on drums. Released in 1969, it made it to number 1 in... 1972 thanks to the inclusion of "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" in the Clint Eastwood film Play Misty for Me. The Hollies [10:04] "Say It Ain't So Jo" Five Three One - Double Seven O Four Polydor 2442-160 1979 Hey, if it plays I'll play it. A very scritchedy scratchedy cover of Murray Head's single 1975. Yes, the album title spells out Hollies in caclulator-ese. Thomas Dolby [13:34] "Hyperactive!" The Flat Earth Capitol Records ST-12309 1984 This track made it to number 62 on the Hot 100 in 1984. Fleetwood Mac [19:07] "Say You Love Me" Fleetwood Mac Reprise MS 2225 1975 Sure it might be the season of the witch, but I'm feeling Christine a bit more at the moment. Maybe it's the banjo, I don't know. This song made it to number 11 on the Hot 100 in 1976. The album itself is multiplatinum. For those of you who need some Rhiannon in your life, check out S04E51 (https://vinylomatic.com/s04e51). Lene Lovich [23:17] "The Night" Flex Stiff-Epic JE 36308 1980 A woman after my own heart. Lovich decided to record this Four Seasons number (https://youtu.be/9ajrCVb3Ja8) after picking up their single in a second hand shop. Nadja [27:48] "Hands" Flipper Oaken Palace Records OAK-003 2013 From an album that donated all profits to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (https://us.whales.org/).

Sonic Youth [41:42] "Flower" Flower/Halloween Homestead Records HMS047 1986 Kim Gordon laying it out. One of the last releases with orignal drummer Bob Bert. Public Image Ltd [45:15] "Flowers of Romance" The Flowers of Romance Warner Bros. Records BSK 3536 1981 Rhythmic explorations from John Lydon, Keith Levene, and Martin Atkins. Lydon plays percussion, violin, and sax on this track. Jimmy Cliff [48:05] "If I Follow My Mind" Follow My Mind Reprise Records RRC 2218 1975 I'm not sure my mind is a right mind, but I think this is an excellent song from the living legend. The Rays [51:57] "Silhouettes" Fonzie Favorites Juke Box International TVLP-177602 1976 Huh, a creepy case of mistaken identity? Picastro + Nadja [54:39] "A New Soul's Benediction" Fool, Redeemer Broken Spine Productions BSP05 2011 A collaboration from up Toronto way with slowcore Picastro and ambient doom Nadja. Rod Stewart [58:38] "You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" Foot Loose & Fancy Free Warner Bros. Records BSK 3092 1977 In which Rod compares you to his favoite football clun (Celtic Utd). I was going to go with Holland & Dozier's "You Keep Me Hangin' On" but it's nearly 8 goddamn minutes long. What the hell, dude? Music behind the DJ: "Black Magic Woman" by Terry Baxter and Orchestra

Jerry Jeff Walker [00:30] "(Looking for) The Heart of Saturday Night" It's a Good Night for Singin' MCA Records MCA-2202 1976 The gonzo country artist himself putting a fantastic spin on the Tom Waits classic (https://youtu.be/lbH6BUNsuts). La Luz [03:23] "Pink Slime" It's Alive Hardly Art HAR-076 2013 The women from Seattle and now LA come at us with this high energy surf track from their debut album. The D.O.C.

The People [10:16] "Don't You Know What It Is to Wait?" It's Happening Here...! Record Publication Company RPC Z-86251 1966 I think they may have gotten the punctuation wrong in that album title. Seems more like it should be It's Happening... Here?! Where is here? Camden, New Jersey of course. For more information that you may ever want to know of this album, check out this old WFMU Beware of the Blog post (https://youtu.be/lbH6BUNsuts). The Who [14:30] "Athena" It's Hard Warner Bros. Records 9 23731-1 1982 Replace Athena, and you get Theresa, as in Theresa Russell who evidently was not as into Pete as he was into her on one particular night. Horns by John Entwisle, of course. GrandMaster Flash & the Furious Five [18:18] "It's Nasty (Genius of Love)" It's Nasty (Genius of Love) Sugar Hill Records SH 569 1981 Je m'appelle Your Old Pal Will. Fun stuff grooving on the Tom Tom Club grooves. Made it to number 22 on the R&B charts in 1981. Merle Haggard and the Strangers [26:11] "New York City Blues" It's Not Love (but It's Not Bad) Capitol Records ST-11127 1972 Oh those rascally yankees. Oh wait, that's me. Anywho, Merle and the boys aren't too keen on New York City in this number from his 15th studio album. Tom Jones [29:41] "Whatcha' Gonna Do" It's Not Unusual Parrot PAS 71004 1965 Tom Jones bringing some blue-eyed sould belting to this number originally written by the King of the Stroll Chuck Willis. Mantovani and his Orchestra [32:51] "Theme from Capriccio Italien, Op. 45" Italia Mia London Records PS 232 1961 Evidently one of Mantovani's memories of Italy is of... Tchaikovsky. The Italian Street Singers and orchestra [35:40] "Volare" Italian Sing-Along Decca Records DL 4027 1960 Well, did you sing along? Ton Koopman [29:41] "Bach: Toccata und Fuge D-Moll BWV 565" J.S. Bach - Orgelwerke Archiv Produktion 410 999-1 1984 I got this album when I was in high school, and it has always served me well when I'm in my more gothic moods. I definitely like this recording way more than the kooky Virgil Fox version that we heard a few episodes ago. Shriekback [48:19] "Hand on My Heart" Jam Science Arista 206 416 1984 The second album from the group created by Barry Andrews, formerly of XTC, and Dave Allen, formerly of Gang of Four. Some free funk dancefloor action for you. Lord Montego and his Calypsonians [52:11] "Rum and Coca Cola" Jamaica Calypso Audio Fidelity AFLP 1832 1957 A pretty fun take on the Lionel Belasco/Lord Invader classic. The Dave Brubeck Quartet [54:32] "Le Souk" Jazz Goes to College Columbia CS 8631 1954 Some energetic Middle-Eastern riffing from Dave and the boys recorded live at Oberlin. Lambert, Hendricks & Ross [59:08] "Cloudburst" Jazz Poll Winners Columbia CS 8410 1960 You may recall in the last episode of Vinyl-O-Matic (https://vinylomatic.com/s05e47), we heard a track from Daedelus that featured some vocal stylings by Busdriver. Turns out, Busdriver is a fan of Jon Hendricks vocalese stylings. Music behind the DJ: "5-4=Unity" by Pavement

Usnea [00:37] "Lying in Ruin" Random Cosmic Violence Relapse Records RR7280 2014 Sophomore outing from this Portland-based death/doom metal band, on lovely bone white & blue splatter vinyl. Disc one, side one, track one. Named after everyone's favorite fruticose lichen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usnea). Stray Cats [13:32] "Something's Wrong with My Radio" Rant n' Rave with the Stray Cats EMI America SO-17102 1983 Whole lotta pickin goin on. The waning days of that particular rockabilly revival. Ray Charles [16:07] "I Got a Woman" The Ray Charles Story Volume One Atlantic 8063 1962 An early 60s Ray Charles comp. "I've Got a Woman" lays the groundwork for "What I'd Say". Ray Charles [19:01] "Rockhouse" The Ray Charles Story Volume Two Atlantic 8064 1962 A fine instrumental demonstrating some excellent r&b chops. Mariyu Takeuchi [23:00] "ドリーム・オブ・ユー～レモンライムの青い風～" Re-Collection RCA RHL-8816 1984 If Google Translate isn't steering me wrong, this track translates to "Dream of You - Lemon Lime Blue Wind". Seems like 7-Up might want to look into a new flavor. Boris Karloff [27:55] "The Princess and the Pea" Reads The Ugly Duckling and other Tales by Hans Christian Andersen. Caedmon Records TC 1109 1959 Delightfully read by Mr. Karloff of course. First published in May of 1835. John Lee Hooker [30:16] "Boom Boom" The Real Blues Tradition Everest TR 2089 1970 Arguably the canonical John Lee Hooker song. Taj Mahal [32:50] "Going Up To The Country And Paint My Mailbox Blue" The Real Thing Columbia G 30619 1971 Recorded live in New York at the Fillmore East on February 13, 1971.

Peach Kelli Pop [mm:ss] "Panchito Blues II" Peach Kelli Pop Burger Records BRGR293 2013 A quick bit of garagey fun. Peach Kelli Pop [mm:ss] "Princess Castle 1987" Peach Kelli Pop Burger Records BRGR925 2015 Another ripping opener. Pearl Charles [mm:ss] "Night and Day" Pearl Charles Kanine Records KR148 2016 Great lead-off to Pearl's debut album, on some lovely yellow vinyl. Cocteau Twins [mm:ss] "Hazel" Peppermint Pig 4AD BAD 303 1983 Evidently Robin Guthrie felt this release was rubbish. And yet, here we are listening to it.

The Command All-Stars [mm:ss] "Perdido" Persuasive Percussion Volume 3 Command RS 817 SD 1960 What's that you want more stereo separation demonstrations? You got it, with this fun standard. Astute viewers of Only Murders in the Building may notice that Charles (Steve Martin) has all four volumes of Persuasuve Percussion framed in his kitchen. Odd you say? Well no, Charles is clearly an astute art collector (as is Steve Martin) and the covers for that series are designed by non other than Josef Albers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Albers). That would also explain the Ed Ruscha in the kitchen (https://edruscha.com/works/nice-hot-vegetables/).

The Pirates [mm:ss] "A Pirate's Life" Walt Disney's Peter Pan Disneyland 1206 1976 Never shoot a man in the middle of his cadenza.

Flock of Seagulls [22:36] "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" Listen Jive JL8-8013 1983 The second hit from these presumed one-hit-wonders. This one made it to number 26 on the Hot 100 in 1983. Stockhausen Ensemble [28:08] "Prozession (excerpt)" Listen (Brief Edition) CBS Special Products P8-19832 1987 What? I've been reading the CAN biography again. Mink DeVille [33:51] "Let Me Dream if I Want To (Amphetamine Blues)" Live at CBGB's - The Home of Underground Rock CBGB & OMFUG Records 315 1976 Great time capsule from the early days of CBGBs featuring tracks by Mink DeVille, The Shirts, Tuff Darts, Laughing Dogs, Manster, Sun (no, not that Sunn O))), Stuart's Hammer, and the Miamis. The Who [36:44] "Shakin' All Over" Live at Leeds Decca DL 79175 1970 This version is about twice as long as the original Johnny Kidd version, as was the style of the time. Aretha Franklin [41:04] "Make It with You" Live at the Fillmore West Atlantic SD 7205 1971 You heard that correctly. Aretha covers Bread. Marvin Gaye [45:37] "Come Get to This" Live at the London Palladium Tamla T7-352R2 1977 A fine live rendition of Marvin's seond single from his Let's Get It On album.

Vinyl-O-Matic Season 4, Episode 8 45s and Other Revolutions: A-Sides beginning with B, Part 5 L.A. Witch a: "Brian" b: "Untitled" Greenway Records GWY-021 (2016) In case you didn't already know, LA Witch are pretty damned rad (https://youtu.be/7SXQ71YT3Es). The Ladybug Transistor a: "Brighton Bound" b: "Cienfuegos (Cicada Sonata)" Elefant Records ER-226 (2000) For all you fellow Elephant 6 (https://youtu.be/vagJ7osygw) fans. **_ Bonny Billy/Rainywood a: "Brother Warrior" b: "Cornflower Blue" Palace Records PR27 (2002) Once upon a time I was a Palace/Will Oldham/Bonnie 'Prince' Billy completist. I was fortunate enough to pick up this single at a BPB show in Monte Rio CA, of all places, in 2002. Rainywood played that date as well. Rainywood would later become Brightblack Morning Light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightblack_Morning_Light). Chuck Berry & His Combo a: "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" b: "Too Much Monkey Business" Chess Records 1635 (1956) Never too much monkey business (https://youtu.be/2cFgCUIJL2g) as far as this simian is concerned. The Rolling Stones a: "Brown Sugar" b: "Bitch" Rolling Stones Records RS-19100 (1971) Here's Keef and The Rooster checking out a mix of Brown Sugar (https://youtu.be/4rlGoDD-Vt8). The Rock and Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co. of Philadelphia a: "Bubble Gum Music" b: "On a Summer Night" Buddah Records BDA 78 (1968) Seems like the perfect branding fit and namedropping all the while with the likes of Boyce and Hart (https://youtu.be/mfnlBXLHd08), The Monkees (https://youtu.be/tNqUufWLfZc), and 1910 Fruitgum Company (https://youtu.be/93zZ8_KO4pA). Talking Heads a: "Burning Down the House" b: "I Get Wild/Wild Gravity" Sire Records 7-29565 (1983) Sure they got the attention of us nerds with Once in a Lifetime (https://youtu.be/I1wg1DNHbNU), but this was pretty much their breakout, reaching all the way to Number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Madonna a: "Burning Up" b: "Physical Attraction" Sire Records 7-29609 Easily my favorite Madonna single (https://youtu.be/pufec0Hps00), no question. Mike Watt's rendition (https://youtu.be/BjpKb3rb2Qc) is pretty rad too. The B side could easily have been 3 minutes shorter. Music Behind the DJ: “Gomez” by Vic Mizzy (1964). Cover image: Selma Blair as Liz Sherman in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (del Toro, 2008). If you are a fan of podcast applications, you can use http://vinylomatic.com/rss to subscribe.

There's some pretty fun keyboard things going on throughout the whole song. Great work Cap'n! Men at Work [42:34] "Overkill" Cargo Columbia QC 38660 1983 While this album may lack the novelty impact of Business as Usual, I'd say the song craft is much stronger on this one.

Benny Goodman [47:22] "One O'Clock Jump" Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert Columbia OSL-160 1963 A Basie classic, from a classic 1938 jazz concert that included the likes of Benny Goodman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Cootie Williams, Johnny Hodges, and Lester Young.

The Strangeloves a side: "I Want Candy" b side: "It's About My Baby" Bang Records B-501 1965 The classic. Sure I love Bow Wow Wow's version (https://youtu.be/JoXVYSV4Xcs) too. Also, if you haven't seen Bang! The Bert Berns Story (https://youtu.be/ZwMu1IGwJK4), I highly recommend it if you're into that sort of thing. Belle and Sebastian a side: "I'm a Cuckoo" b side: "(I Believe in) Travellin' Light" Rough Trade Records RTRADS157 2004 No that is how you lift a riff. So catchy too.

Jimmie Rodgers with Hugo Peretti & His Orchestra [24:24] a side: "Secretly" Roulette R-4070 1958 No, not the Singing Brakeman, the other Jimmie Rodgers.

Elvis Presley [33:25] a side: "Burning Love" RCA Victor 74-0769 1972 A decent enough outing from early 70s Elvis. This reached number 36 on the country charts, and number 2 on the hot 100 in 1972. Scholastic Magazine [37:49] First Men on the Moon: Apollo 11 - July 20, 1969 Side One If you love you some good NASA audio, dig this (https://archive.org/details/Apollo11Audio).

The Archies [14:48] a side: "Who's Your Baby" b side: "Senorita Rita" Kirshner Records 63-5003 1969 Bubblegum pop with a gospel break on the a-side, and a latin themed flipside? The Archies covering all the bases with this 45. DeBarge [20:17] a side: "Who's Holding Donna Now?" b side: "Be My Lady" Gordy Records 1793GF 1985 Now that is some smooth r&b. No wonder it made it all the way to number 6 on the Hot 100. Eurythmics [29:25] a side: "Who's that Girl?" b side: "Aqua" RCA Records PB-13800 1983 If you've never seen the video for this single (https://youtu.be/-5iDKWV6Chg), it's quite a treat.

Great Falls a side: "Wingwalker" [59:31] Thou b side: "Prayer to God" [01:05:54] Hell Comes Home HCH-014 A very heavy, very Shellac-y split. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

Tom Waits [00:51] "Romeo Is Bleeding" Blue Valentine Asylum Records 6E-162 1978 Probably should have done some content editing on that last bit, but ah well... so it goes. Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys [05:43] "Roly-Poly" Bob Wills Special Harmony HS 11358 1969 Good ol' Tommy Duncan on vocals, with Bob hollerin as he does so well. First recorded in 1946 and reached number three on the charts. Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell [08:21] "Mornin' Glory" Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell Captiol Records ST 2928 1968 A classic record featuring a classic duo. The Gentry-penned Mornin' Glory stands out as a winner and was the first single from this album. Eddie Jefferson [11:14] "Psychedelic Sally" Body and Soul Prestige PR 7619 1968 Some very groovy bop from Eddie Jefferson, with James Moody on sax, Dave Burns on trumpet, Barry Harris on piano, Steve Davis on bass and Bill English on drums. The Clean [14:49] "Billy 2" Boodle Boodle Boodle Flying Nun Records FN 003 1981 Track one, side one from easily my most favorite EP ever. Booker T & the M.G.'s [17:16] "Sing a Simple Song" The Booker T. Set Stax Records STS 2009 1969 A mighty fine rendition of the Sly & the Family Stone classic. Gershon Kingsley & Michael Shapiro [19:56] "(excerpt)" Boom! Boom! Crack! Ping! The Sounds of Early America Peter Pan Records 8143 This is what passed for history in the mid-1970s. Did you know that the crew of the Mayflower referred to the Puritans as psalm-singing puke-stockings. Kris Kristofferson [24:00] "Little Girl Lost" Border Lord Monument KZ 31302 1972 Winsome, losesome. Thanks Kris.

Charlie Byrd [31:51] "Bim Bom" Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros Riverside Records RS 9436 1962 A fine quick little Gilberto number considered to be the first bossa nova song. The Dave Brubeck Quartet [33:40] "Cantiga Nova Swing" Bossa Nova USA Columbia CS 8798 1963 The bossa nova bandwagon continues with this outing from Brubeck and co. Boston [36:27] "Rock & Roll Band" Boston Epic 34188 1976 Woof. Well, I support somewhere someone hasn't heard this highly varnished solipsism. Thin White Rope [40:34] "Waking Up" Bottom Feeders Zippo Records ZANE 005 1987 A fine quirky jerky number from Davis CA's very own Thin White Rope. Belle & Sebastian [43:20s] "Sleep the Clock Around" The Boy with the Arab Strap Matador OLE 311-1 1998 I'd say that was a pretty good follow up to the previous track. Divinyls [48:14] "Boys in Town" Boys in Town Chrysalis SPRO 225 1982 Some early-eighties antipodean angst. Brass Construction [51:05] "Ha Cha Cha" Brass Construction II United Artists Records UA-LA677-G 1976 Hotcha cha funk from Brooklyn. Where is Brass Construction 1, III, IV, 5 and 6? Presumably in a bin somewhere, waiting to be found. Music behind the DJ: "Faded Love" by Buck Owens and his Buckaroos

Darlene McCrea [00:31] a side: "My Heart's Not in It" b side: "Don't Worry Baby" Tower Records 104 1964 Phew... quite the classic. Former member of The Cookies, and Ray Charles Raelettes. Love [05:51] a side: "My Little Red Book" b side: "A Message to Pretty" Elektra Records EK-45603 1966 A fine stripped down version of Burt Bacharach's tune. And supposedly influenced the Syd Barrett's riff in "Interstellar Overdrive". And that b-side is clearly Byrdsian. Betty LaVette [12:26] a side: "My Man - He's a Lovin' Man" b side: "Shut Your Mouth" Atlantic Records 45-2160 1962 16 year old Betty LaVette telling us about her man. And hoo boy do I love the flipside. The Knack [17:45] a side: "My Sharona" b side: "Let Me Out" Capitol Records 4731 Woo! Again, a killer flipside. The sleeve for this single features the titular Sharona. The Lovin' Cohens [25:05] a side: "Noshille Katz" b side: "Shoilly Klein" MGM Records K13700 1967 From the mind of NYC songwriter Bobby Weinstien, in homage of John Sebastian's ode to the studio musicians of Music City "Nashville Cats".

Shangri-Las [00:36] a side: "Long Live Our Love" b side: "Sophisticated Boom Boom" Red Bird Records RB 10-048 1966 Hot hot b-side, which is also the name of an excellent show on WFMU (http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/CF). Mercy [05:36] a side: "Love (Can Make You Happy)" b side: "Fire Ball" Sundi Records SR-6811 1969 Bang, another killer b-side. And a perfectly fine a-side, but not quite as thrilling. Sheila E [12:18] a side: "A Love Bizarre" b side: "A Love Bizarre, Part II" Paisley Park DXX 1137V1S 1985 So nice, you have to continue it on to the next side. And that's quite some guitar playing from His Purpleness. John Holt a side: "A Love I Can Feel" [19:54] Hugh Black b side: "Long Liver Man" [22:24] Coxsone Records 1970 Two fine tracks that sound great together.

Otis Redding [39:03] a side: "Love Man" b side: "Can't Turn You Loose" ATCO Records 45-6677 1969 A fine posthumous single by Otis Redding, with a live rendition of his signature song on the b-side. Little Sonny [44:54] a side: "Love Shock" b side: "I'll Love You Baby (Until the Day I Die)" Excello Records 45-2209 1962 Super hot blues shot from this protégé of Sonny Boy Williamson.

Caudal [00:37] "Murk" Murk Midira Records MD 015 2015 An excellent spatial excursion from Aidan Baker on guitar, Gareth Sweeney on bass, and Felipe Salazar on drums. Kermit the Frog & Fozzie Bear [15:08] "Movin' Right Along" The Muppet Movie - Original Soundtrack Recording Atlantic SD 16001 1979 A little travelling music, please.

George Melachrino Orchstra [31:11] "British Isles: Big Ben Chime/English Hymn/Oranges and Lemons" Music for the Nostalgic Traveler RCA Victor LPM-1053 1955 A little more traveling music. Or recollection of traveling? Just remember, folks, nostalgia is a disease. The Band [33:20] "This Wheel's on Fire" Music from the Big Pink Capitol Records SKAO 2955 1968 blah Bo Hansson [36:29] "The Old Forest/Tom Bombadil" Music Inspired by the Lord of the Rings Charisma/Buddah Records CAS 1059 1972 (originally released in 1970) Look out for Old Man Will!

The Police a side: "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" b side: "Shambelle" A&M Records 2371-S 1981 All the way up to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Count Five [51:56] a side: "Psychotic Reaction" b side: "They're Gonna Get You" Double Shot Records 104 1966 Classic. Positively Thirteen O'Clock [57:31] a side: "Psychotic Reaction" b side: "13 O'Clock Theme for Psychotics" Hanna-Barbera Records HBR-500 1966 Yes you read that right. Hannah-Barbera Records.

David Bowie a side: "Golden Years" b side: "Can You Hear Me" RCA Records PB-10441 1982 So much groovy guitar happening. Adam Ant a side: "Goody Two Shoes" b side: "Goody Two Shoes" Epic Records 34-00367 1982 But Will, you played "Generals and Majors" twice last time! I know but one was stereo and one was mono. This one is stereo on both sides. Plus, I mean c'mon... It's no "Stand and Deliver". a side: Pixies "Gouge Away" b side: Sex Clark Five/When People Were Shorter and Lived Near the Water "Jeepster/I Got the Music in Me" The Bob Magazine Issue No. 38 1990 Recorded live on August 10, 1989 at Cabaret Metro, Chicago, in case you Pixies folks are wondering. Also fuck yeah, Dave Ricks \m/ Frankie Valli [mm:ss] a side: "Grease" b side: "Grease (Instrumental)" RSO Records RS 897 1978 Kinda sounds like a BeeGee number, don't it? Well duh, it's a Barry Gibb tune. Hope you busted out your air sax for the b-side. The Jerms [mm:ss] a side: "Green Door (regular version)" b side: "Green Door (time edited version)" Honor Brigade #1 1969 Kinda like "Baby Elephant Walk" meets Steve Miller Band?

Clint Miller a: "Bertha Lou" b: "Doggone It Baby, I'm in Love" ABC-Paramount 45-9878 Conjugate, eh? The Beat a: "Best Friend" b: "Stand Down Margaret" Go Feet FEET 3 The Enlish one of course.

Palace Contributions/Zeni Gevi a: "Big Balls" b: "Let There Be Rock" Gasoline Boost Records GB13 In case for some reason you are unfamiliar (https://youtu.be/aFjp5DBQnlw) with the originals (https://youtu.be/VTUgGPUrDpE).

Albums and All That, Starting with the letter A as in Alpha, and some that begin with the letter B as in Bravo From At Home with Their Hits (The Partridge Family) to Barry Lyndon (Music from the soundtrack to) The Partridge Family [01:12] "I Think I Love You" At Home with Their Greatest Hits Bell 1107 1972 Whoops. Don't know how this one slipped through the cracks, but I'm glad I caught it. Be-Bop Deluxe [04:05] "Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape" Axe Victim Harvest 11689 1974 From the debut Be-Bop Deluxe. Very Bowie derived, but cool things throughout. The B-52's [07:40] "Downtown" The B-52's Warner Bros. BSK 3355 1979 Reached number 59 on the Top 200. Wonderful pop junk, to borrow a phrase from Robert Christgau, here with the band borrowing from Petula Clark. Lunachicks [10:35] "Cookie Core" Babysitters on Acid Blast First BFFP 52 1990 I mean really, who doesn't love cookies? I always loved seeing them live (https://youtu.be/20G3XW03ofY) back in my NYC days. One of the best was when they played with L7 at CBGBs shortly after my 22nd birthday. Camarata conducting the Kingsway Symphony Orchestra and Chorus [13:56] "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" Bach Spectacular London Records SPC 21078 1972 In Phase 4 Stereo! Quadrophonic, you ask? Nope... just using 10 channels, and eventually 20 channels, with "extreme" stereo mixing. Saar Chamber Orchestra [23:22] "Contrapunctus 14 - Harpsichord" Bach: Art of the Fugue Musical Heritage Society MHS 657/658 Budget Bach from the Musical Heritage Society. Arthur Loesser [26:55] "No. 1: Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 846" Well-Tempered Clavier, Books I & II The Cleveland Institute of Music CRC 2001 Turns out Cleveland does more than rock. AC/DC [31:09] "Shoot to Thrill" Back in Black Atlantic SD 16018 1980 Got this album for my 12th birthday. I was told many times by my mother to turn it down. Mission accomplished. Presumably a 25x Platinum album. Shift those units! The O'Jays [36:28] "Love Train" Back Stabbers Philadelphia International Records KZ 31712 Gotta go with this hit in these times. Gong Kebyar, Sebatu [39:32] "Gilak" Bali: Gamelan Music from Sebatu Archiv Produktion 2533 130 1972 According to the liner notes, this is an ancient ritual temple dance performed by warriors before a fight. John Coltrane Quartet [47:05] "You Don't Know What Love Is" Ballads Impulse! A-32 1963 (1974 reissue) A classic from the American songbook, written for an Abbott and Costello flick "Keep Em Flying" from 1941. Of course, it took Miles Davis to make it a jazz standard, and Coltrane and co to take it to the next level. The Three O'Clock [52:19] "Sorry" Baroque Hoedown Frontier FLP 1010 1982 From the frontlines of the Paisley Underground, we'll go with The Three O'Clock's cover of The Easy Beats "Sorry", because of course Angus and Malcolm Young's older brother George co-wrote "Sorry" (https://youtu.be/1o4k9nC3CL0). How's that for a callback. The Munich Bach-Orchestra [54:41] "Concerto for Two Harpsichords and Orchestra in C-Minor" Music from the soundtrack of Barry Lyndon Warner Bros. K56189 1975 One of the finest films to be shot by candlelight. And hey, another call back: Bach + Harpsichord. We're killing it! Music behind the DJ: "Inspector Clouseau's Theme" by Henry Mancini

Cher [00:35] a side: "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves" b side: "He'll Never Know" Kapp Records 1971 If you thought the lyrics on the a-side were weird, woof... that b-side! Anywho, it knocked Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" out of the Number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Boris [06:38] a side: "HMA" b side: "Black Original" Southern Lord Records Lord108.2 2009 I'm not sure why we have to see Atsuo's underwear on the cover of this single, but I suppose we should be thankful he's wearing underwear? Miriam [17:28] a side: "Hand Don't Fit the Glove" b side: "Take Me for a Little While" Norton Records 45-189 2015 Soooo good. Not only is she an amazing musician, she also runs Norton Records. Donna Fargo [23:03] a side: "The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A." b side: "The Awareness of Nothing" Dot Records DOA-17409 1972 Skip-a-dee-doo-dah indeed! The Rolling Stones [30:04] a side: "Happy" b side: "All Down the Line" Rolling Stones Records RS-19104 1972 Ironically topped out at number 69 on Billboard's Hot 100. The Black Crowes [37:10] a side: "Hard to Handle" b side: "Waitin' Guilty" Def American Recordings 7-19245 1990 It ain't exactly Otis, but it does have that nice Crowes groove. Evidently there's a version with a brass section too? B-side's not to bad either. Jeannie C. Riley [44:10] a side: "Harper Valley P.T.A." b side: "Yesterday All Day Long Today" Plantation Records #3 1968 Plantation Records rose to success with Jeannie C. Riley and fell into decline after her departure. Olivia Newton John [49:36] a side: "Have You Never Been Mellow" b side: "Water Under the Bridge" MCA Records MCA-40349 1975 What the fuck is going on with the synth/guitar(?)on the b-side?! "Spinning Wheel" as performed by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra. I dunno. Seemed like the thing to do. Now with chapters! (For those of you who use podcast services that allow chapters.)

The Beatles [00:29] "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Apple Records SMAS-2563 1967 (1971 Los Angeles gatefold pressing) Enjoy the stereo separation! Billy Preston [03:58] "Get Back" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band RSO RS-2-4100 1978 So yeah. A soundtrack to a movie that is very much of it's time. Not only tdo we have The Bee Gees and Peter Framption as the titular band, we have Earth Wind & Fire doing "Got to Get You into My Life", George Burns doing "Fixing a Hole", Alice Cooper doing "Because", Aerosmith handling "Come Together", and my second favorite track: Steve Martin doing a wild and crazy version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (https://youtu.be/F__uGshlbOo?si=qn4U4_ZIGttfns5E). This version of Get Back by the one and only Billy Preston still seals the deal for me. If you are inclined to check out this film, I can only say that it is very much of its time (https://youtu.be/oioCI1p6Y30?si=34PQo_XspuXmnRPc). Lord only knows how much white powder was used in the production. Love and Rockets [07:01] "Haunted when the Minutes Drag" Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven Beggars Banquet BEGA66 1985 The debut outing from 3/4 of Bauhaus. Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins do an excellent job of building an atmospheric experience to transition away from the darkness of their previous efforts. The Moody Blues [16:29] "You and Me" Seventh Soujourn Threshold THS 7 1972 Maybe it's me, but it seems like the intro could have been 8 bars or so shorter. True story: the first pair of concert tickets that I ever won from listening to the radio was for The Moody Blues on their Long Distance Voyager tour. For some reason my parents didn't think it would be appropriate for a 13 year old to go, so I got to keep the record (long since lost) and gave my tickets to the high school kids across the street. The Cars [20:46] "Since You're Gone" Shake It Up Elektra 5E-567 1981 Classic side one, track one. Dig the Frippian guitar solo. Ornette Coleman [24:18] "Focus on Sanity" The Shape of Jazz to Come Atlantic SD 1317 1959 (2010 Rhino reissue) You and me both, Ornette. The classic quartet rounded out by legends Charlie Haden on bass, Don Cherry on cornet, and Billy Higgins on drums. Hypnodrone Ensemble [32:36] "Eucldian/Dodecahedral" The Shape of Space Calostro Records CR01 2015 Hypnotic? Check. Drone? Check? Motorik? Check? Spaceous? Check? Nailed it. Shaun Cassidy [45:33] "That's Rock 'n' Roll" Shaun Cassidy Warner Bros Records/Curb Records BS 3067 1977 Originally a minor hit for Eric Carmen in Europe, teen idol and Hardy Boy Shaun Cassidy took this dopey number to the top of the US charts. Beastie Boys [48:19] "Slow and Low" She's on It Def Jam/Columbia 44-05292 1985 Flip side to the not-quite ready for primetime "She's on It". Fun fact: I lived in the New York Metropolitan area for twenty years and never understood the appeal of White Castle. Chelsea Wolfe [52:02] "Unseen World" She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She Loma Vista LVR03941 2024 It's not often that I get to play a new release on Vinyl-O-Matic, but Chelsea Wolfe's excellent new album arrived at a synchronous moment. Music behind the DJ: "Professor Fate" by Henry Mancini

The Ano'moanon [00:30] a side: "Hello My" b side: "The Free Web" Palace Records PR 14 1997 The Brothers Oldham and friends. Sugar [06:40] a side: "Helpless" b side: "Changes" Singles Only Label SOL-203-7 1992 All killer and no filler from Mr. Mould. If you haven't read Bob Mould's autobiography (https://amzn.to/2JTpwDR), you should. It's really good. Laughing Hyenas [14:32] a side: "Here We Go Again" b side: "Candy" Touch and Go Records T&G#665 1990 One of my favorite singles from 1990, so much so in fact the sleeve is signed by the band. Actually found some footage of a show I was at from way back then! (https://youtu.be/hwnfhrEjxY8) The Leaves [20:59] a side: "Hey Joe" b side: "Funny Little World" Mira Records 222 1966 Sure there are many versions of "Hey Joe", but this is the one that inspired Jimi Hendrix. Engage VintageVision (https://youtu.be/KWv03Wgz0PQ). The Beatles [27:17] a side: "Hey Jude" b side: "Revolution" Apple Records 2273 1968 Yes, the a-side has been faded for your convenience. B.J. Thomas [36:34] a side: "(Hey Won't You Play)" Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" b side: "City Boys" ABC Records ABP 12054 1975 I kinda dig the plaintive tacky piano. And oh those rascally City Boys, as sung by a nice country boy born and raised in Houston. Tommy Tucker [43:17] a side: "Hi-Heel Sneakers" b side: "I Don't Want Cha" Checker Records 1067 1964 Some of you latter day Mods be familiar with this a-side thanks to the Cross Section performing this sound on the OST and a track called "Dimples" from Quadrophenia (https://youtu.be/-Ce52Oby33Y). i a side: Whiskeytown "Highway 145" [49:14] b side: Neko Case & the Sadies"My '63" Bloodshot Records BS 037 1998 Pretty darned fine split from Bloodshot. _Music behind the DJ: "Raindrops Keep Fallin on My Head" by Burt Bacharach.

The Hombres [mm:ss] a side: "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" b side: "Go Girl, Go" Verve Forecast KF5058 1967 Ugh, booze, cigarettes, women and rock 'n' roll, amirite? jk. A mighty fine Nuggets classic from Memphis's own garage rock band The Hombres. The Beat [mm:ss] a side: "Let Me Into Your Life" b side: "Walking Out on Love" Columbia Records 1-11161 1979 Goddamn, all killer and no filler on this rad release from the (US) Beat. The a-side co-penned by Eddie Money. Jimmy McCracklin [mm:ss] a side: "Let the Door Hit You" b side: "This Thing" Minit MN-880 1967 Great stuff from one of the Bay Area greats. David Bowie [mm:ss] a side: "Let's Dance" b side: "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" EMI Records B-8158 1983 Yes indeed, that is the illustrious Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar. And the b-side is a little number co-written with Giorgio Moroder for the 1982 Paul Schrader version of Cat People. Les Cooper & the Soul Rockers [mm:ss] a side: "Let's Do the Boston Monkey" b side: "Owee Baby" Enjoy Records EN 34569 1965 You know I love a good monkey song. The Cars [mm:ss] a side: "Let's Go" b side: "That's It" Elektra Records E-46063 1979 They're hit single from Candy-O. Dig that Prophet 5! B-side features Benjamin Orr on vox. Raspberries [mm:ss] a side: "Let's Pretend (Stereo)" b side: "Let's Pretend (Mono)" Capitol Records P-3546 1972 Some nascent power pop from Eric Carmen and company. This promo single features a contest for the Raspberries' Rollswagen. All you have to do is return the entry blank explaining which one of the Raspberries is the "foxiest" and why: Eric Carmen, Wally Bryson, Dave Smalley, or Jim Bonfanti. The lucky winner will be the happy owner of the Raspberries' Rollswagen (a VW bug with a Rolls Royce front end) with these "far-out" features: -Special Raspberry-Pearl paint and green vinyl top, personally designed by George Barris for the Raspberries. -Foxy fur upholstery! Created by California's leading auto interior designer Harold Mitchell. -Formula Super Stock Tires on Ansen Sprint Wheels. -Quadrasonic 8-Track Stereo System! Outasight sound with 4 speakers by Car Tapes, Inc of California. -A complete Library of 100 Capitol 8-track cartridges! Includes Beatles! Helen Reddy! Rick Springfield, Leon Russel! Many more favorites. Hoo boy. Wilbert Harrison One Man Band [mm:ss] a side: "Let's Work Together (Part 1)" b side: "Let's Work Together (Part 2)" Sue Records SUE 11 1969 As true today as it was then. You may be familiar with versions by Canned Heat, Bryan Ferry and as we heard a few episodes, Dwight Yoakam. Fine stuff. An improved variation on his original 1962 "Let's Stick Together". Music behind the DJ: "Irena's Theme" by Giorgio Moroder.

Sleep [00:46] "Dopesmoker, Side 1" Dopesmoker Southern Lord Records LORD158 1999/2003/2012 On translucent green vinyl, of course. Dottie West & Don Gibson [22:50] "Sweet Dreams" Dottie & Don RCA LSP-4131 1969 A might fine Dong Gibson tune. Minutemen [25:02] "It's Expected I'm Gone" Double Nickels on the Dime SST Records SST 028 1984 Hard to choose just one of these incandescent tracks. King Woman [27:07] "Candescent Soul" Doubt The Flenser FR51 2015 Kristina Esfandiari is one of the most powerful performers I've ever seen live. I hope I get to see her perform in whatever incarnation in the After Times. Doug Sahm and Band [30:54] "Wallflower" Doug Sahm and Band Atlantic SD 7254 1973 Doug and Bob and friends clearly having some fun. The Dream Academy [34:34] "Life in a Northern Town" The Dream Academy Warner Bros. Records 1-25265 1985 Hey oo maam maam this nostalgic David Gilmour-produced number made it to number 7 on the Hot 100 and the album reached as high as number 20. Heart [38:51] "Magic Man" Dreamboat Annie Mushroom Records MRS-5005 1976 In the Wax to the Max is inscribed on this a-sides runout. So true. The She's [44:22] "Dream Girl" Dreamers (self- release) An excellent EP released on coke-bottle green vinyl. Waylon Jennings [48:07] "Dreaming My Dreams" Dreaming My Dreams RCA Victor APL1-1062 1975 A fine rendition of this Allen Reynolds number from Waylon's number 1 country album from 1975. Music behind the DJ: "Cold, Cold Heart" by Lawrence Welk and his Orchestra

Heino [00:23] "Heute Singen Wir Mit Heino/Wißt Ihr Was? Heute Hat's Geschneit" Sing Mit Heino Folge 9 und 10 Winterzeit - Kinderzeit - Weihnachtzeit Hör Zu 1 C 066-45 322 1979 Sing along with Heino! And evidently, the old Deustschekrooner is still alive. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the German phenomenon that is Heino, of course, there's a documentary (https://youtu.be/M-39Unh0X2E?si=WlId8Vtympf3n2ob). The Four Roses Society [03:03] "Hand Me Down My Walkin' Cane/Deep in the Heart of Texas" Sing with the Four Roses Society Four Roses K8OP-6582 / 3 Well all right then. During my brief career as a liquor store clerk (one summer during college), Four Roses bourbon was not the esteemed brand it is today. It was easily found on the bottom shelf of the whiskey section. Kitty Wells [05:49] "Country Girl" Singing'em Country Decca DL 75221 1970 One of the contenders to the title of Queen of Country Music reminiscing at the ripe old age of 51. Elvis Presley [08:24] "Santa Bring My Baby Back (to Me)" Sings Christmas Songs - Elvis' Christmas Album RCA Victor LPM-1951 1957 (1964 reissue) An extremely well-worn seasonal classic. I'm surprised it sounds as good as it does, considering the state of the record surface. Odetta [12:45] "Don't Think Twice, It's Allright" Odetta Sings Dylan RCA Victor LSP-3324 An excellent rendition of this transitional Dylan single. To my mind, it is almost as good as the jangling toe-tapper version by Waylon Jennings (https://youtu.be/2GTl6-BJhvc?si=Ofi9FdbmGvJyqCKr). Bob McGrath with the Jimmy Joyce Singers [18:30] "Black and White" Sings for All the Boys and Girls Disneyland 1357 1974 Indeed, that Bob from Sesame Street. Helped out here by some of the Wrecking Crew including Tommy Tedesco and Earl Palmer. Inspired by the Three Dog Night version of this song (https://youtu.be/PEy6968xO-I?si=hNq9IL8tnQ9RCPDd), the song was originally recorded by Pete Seger in 1956 and with lyrics by David I. Arkin, father of Alan Arkin no less. Nat King Cole [22:21] "Autumn Leaves" Sings for Two in Love Capitol Records DT 420 1963 (original release 1953) This monophonic classic album is reinvigorated in beautiful Duophonic sound! Bonnie Prince Billy [25:03] "Ohio River Boat Song" Sings Greatest Palace Music Drag City DC252 / Palace Records PR31 A collection of Nashville-ified reimaginings Will Oldham's earlier work, with a number of Nashville greats, including Hargus "Pig" Robbins. The thing I love about seeing Will Oldham perform live in whatever configuration is that he seemingly never plays a song the same way twice. This pass at the debut single from Palace Music (https://youtu.be/jYVTkUTHENg?si=Iz69YWTah4Kmc4uO) exemplifies that spirit. Wayne Newton [30:00] "More (Theme from 'Mondo Cane')" Sings Hit Songs Capitol Records T 2130 1964 Despite rumblings in Memphis and New Orleans and even Liverpool by this point, the big band sound of the Greatest Generation continues to thrive in popular music. John McCormack [32:37] "The Foggy Dew" Sings Irish Songs Pickwick CAS-407 1975 Evidently, stereo, in this case, means slapping some reverb on the left channel. Despite being partially the result of Irish immigration, I am not sentimental, which is why I chose the shortest track for this collection. Lotte Lehman [34:41] "Ich Liebe Dich (Beethoven)" Sings Lieder, Vol. 1 Camden CAL-378 Pretty sure I grabbed this from the dollar bin because in my haste I thought it was Lotte Lenya. Colin Meloy [37:21] "Bandit Queen" Sings Live! Jealous Butcher Records JB-065 2008 From a solo tour Colin Meloy made in 2006, recorded at various venues, including this one that I happened to attend at the Great American Music Hall. This live album does do one of those things that drives me nuts, which is to put the stage banter for the upcoming song before the track break. Tom Jones [43:05] "In Dreams" Sings She's a Lady Parrot XPAS 71046 1971 Candy colored clown! (https://youtu.be/R7zukRlfzh8?si=110VDkQtE8m4jD52) Nat "King" Cole [46:30] "Blue Gardenia" Ballads of the Day Capitol Records DT 680 1960 (original release 1956) As performed in Fritz Lang's classic noir The Blue Gardenia (https://youtu.be/3bxSn2UMBMY?si=vKu34lBUOQstY3f4). Harry Belafonte [49:29] "A Fool For You" Sings the Blues RCA Victor LSP-1972 1958 A collection of blues standards, including this Ray Charles number. Ella Fitzgerald [53:09] "'S Wonderful" Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book (Volume Two) Verve Records MG V-4025 1959 Helped out here by Nelson Riddle. An excellent cover painting by Bernard Buffet is featured on this album. Music behind the DJ: "Games People Play (https://youtu.be/hIBlCac8_wk?si=KjX6MUoC_zQ0qftn)" by Arthur Greenslade and his Orchesta

The Troggs a side: "I Can't Control Myself" b side: "Gonna Make You" ATCO Records 45-6444 1966 Low slacks?! Good heavens! Silver Apples a side: "I Don't Know" One Cut Kill b side: "White Russian/Black Heart" Gifted Children Records GCV07-001 2007 Picked this up at a Silver Apples show at Cafe du Nord in 2007 (obvs) which also happened to be my first exposure to Thee Oh Sees live. Hooo boy, that was a night. Neil Sedaka a side: "I Go Ape" b side: "Moon of Gold" RCA Victor 47-7473 1959 Of course this is one of my go-to's when spinning live. Etta James a side: "I Got You" b side: "I Worship the Ground You Walk On" Cadet 5606 1968 Huh, you'd think I'd have the Sonny & Cher versions of this, but this super funky version will do just fine indeed. Killer b-side as well. The Miracles a side: "I Gotta Dance to Keep from Cryin'" b side: "Such Is Love, Such Is Life" TAMLA T-54089 1963 Certainly one of my most favorite singles ever. My toe is tapping just thinking about it. Frida a side: "I Know There's Something Going On" b side: "Threnody" Atlantic Records 7-89984 1982 Yes, by the same man who brought us middling "Since You've Been Gone", Rainbow's meh hit single (https://youtu.be/1P17ct4e5OE). And hey produced and drummed by the illustrious Phil Collins! But you know I will never speak ill of Anni-Frid (https://youtu.be/p98PjtSfNWo). Joan Jett & the Blackhearts a side: "I Love Rock 'n Roll" b side: "You Don't Know What You've Got" Boardwalk NB7-11-135 The short lived Boardwalk Records was Neil Bogart's follow up to Casablanca Records. And again, awesome b-side. Outer Limit Recordings a side: "I Need My T.V." The Sweethearts b side: "Burnin Through the Night" Olde English Spelling Bee OESB-710 I think this arrived with a couple of R. Stevie Moore (https://youtu.be/OprzFKwpeGY) reissues. Music behind the DJ: "The Name of the Game" as performed by Richard Clayderman.

Curve [01:01] "I Speak Your Every Word" Blindfold EP Anxious Records ANX T 27 1991 Rise again, mighty wah guitars of the early 90s! Nadja [04:56] "Bliss Torn from Emptiness Part One" Bliss Torn from Emptiness Dirtier Promotions DPROMDLP103 Originally released in 2005 as one 49 minute track, this splatter white/black vinyl copy was released in 2014 with Bliss Torn from Emptiness split across three sides with the fourth side containing a live German recording of "Memory Leak". Alvarius B [23:09] "Dirty Angels" Blood Operatives of the Barium Sunset Abduction ABDT 032 2005 One of Alan Bishop's aliases covering an Ennio Morricone song from the 1969 Mauro Severino film Dirty Angles (Vergogna schifosi). Ash Borer [26:43] "Oblivion Spring" Bloodlands Gilead Media/Psychic Violence RELIC 47/PV-VII 2013 Some fine Bay Area-ish atmospheric black metal, with a somewhat relevantly titled lead track. Lord Buckley [42:19] "Subconscious Mind" Blowing His Mind (And Yours Too) Fontana TL 5396 1966 So far out, he was in. Blue Magic [45:16] "Sideshow" Blue Magic ATCO Records SD 7038 1974 Yes indeed, step right up ladies and gentlemen and hear this Philly Soul classic. Joni Mitchell [49:30] "All I Want" Blue Reprise MS 2038 1971 This album made it to number 15 in the top 200, dulcimers and all. Matthew Sweet [53:03] "Back to You" Blue Sky on Mars Zoo Entertainment A very Beach Boys bit of Power Pop, in a mighty fine way. Music behind the DJ: "The Singleman Party Foxtrot" by Dave Grusin

L'Orchestra de la Suisse Romande [01:01] "Dance Suite" From Bartók: Dance Suite/Two Portraits Opus Five/Rumanian Dances London ffrr CS 6407 1964 Composed by Bartók in 1923 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the union of the cities Buda and Pest. Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra [19:32] "Second Suite for Orchestra, Op. 4: Comodo" Bartok: Second Suite For Orchestra, Op.4 Mercury MG 50098 1959 This is the revised 1943 version, for those of you wondering. Pete Fountain and his Jazz Group [27:19] "Mack the Knife" Bateau Lounge Coral Records CRL 757314 1960 Ol Mack, he's back in NO with this one time Lawrence Welk saxophonist. Bauhaus [30:57] "Dark Entries" Bauhaus 4AD 312 1983 A 4AD Bauhaus compilation, this track was their follow-up single to Bela Lugosi's Dead. Bay City Rollers [34:50] "Saturday Night" Bay City Rollers Arista AL 4049 1975 This album was the Rollers first foray into North America, reaching number 20 on this top 200 and this song made it to number 1 on the hot 100 of course. Sometimes you just have to go with the hits. I could have tortured you with their rendition of "Be My Baby" but I like you too much. And here's a friendly reminder of the excellent Nick Lowe song about the Rollers. Afrika Bambaata & the Soul Sonic Force [37:47] "Frantic Situation" Beat Street Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Volume 1 Atlantic 80154-1 1984 Yes, there is a Volume 2, but it is not in my collection. Interested parties can listen to the Vinyl-O-Matic Movie of the Month regarding this film. The Beat [42:57] "Rock N Roll Girl" The Beat Columbia JC 36195 1979 It's so hard to just play one song from this killer album. Pure power pop goodness. And one of the best opening tracks ever. The Beatles [46:26] "I'm So Tired" The Beatles Apple SWB) 101 1968 Aren't we all? The Beatles [48:30] "Money" The Beatles Second Album Capitol ST 2080 1964 Actually, their third US album. The Beatles [51:22] "Eight Days a Week" Beatles VI Capitol T2358 1965 Evidently this song was not highly thought of by the Beatles. The Beatles [54:10] "I'm a Loser" Beatles '65 Capitol T 2228 1965 Can't go wrong with a loser song, as far as I'm concerned. There's a pretty great Marianne Faithfull version of this song from the same year too!

The English Beat [00:22] a side: "Save It for Later" b side: "Save It for Later" I.R.S. Records IR-9909 1982 Normally I would play both sides, but we've got a lot of ground to cover today. In fact I could pretty much play this song over and over all day long. XTC [03:59] a side: "Scarecrow People/Mayor of Simpleton" b side: "Medley: Senses Working Over Time/Grass/Love on a Farmboy's Wages" c side: "Blue Beret/Medley: Great Fire/Dear God/Big Day" d side: "King for a Day/Medley: Rock the Boat/Hungry Heart Beats/Welcome to the Garden of Earthly Delights" Vigotone 1989 A heckuva bootleg from a live 1989 performance on KROQ. Dead in the Dirt [34:44] a side: "The Screaming Wind/Bastards of the Bleak/Disease/Two Flames/Burden of Life" b side: "Can They Suffer?/Biting at the Binds/Sever the Tie/Skin Graft/Fear" Southern Lord Records LORD130.5 2011 Oh hey, I hope you like grindcore. Boris [46:20] a side: "Seasons" b side: artwork Southern Lord Records LORD108.4 2009 A cover of the dutch symphonic rock band Earth and Fire (https://youtu.be/SHX5VcfQaWc). Johnny Rivers [53:03] a side: "Secret Agent Man" b side: "You Dig" Imperial Records IM-6187 1967 Hombre secreto! (https://youtu.be/3K1vJ0r0ax0) Ichirou Mizuki [01:02:40] a side: "Set Up! Kamen Rider X/White Bullet Cruiser" b side: "I Am X Kaisogu" Columbia Records SCS-224 1974 Set up! Set up! Set Up! (https://youtu.be/xHqNm-V9PHo) Music behind the DJ: "The Look of Love" by Christopher Scott

David Allan Coe [00:22] a side: "The Ride" b side: "Son of a Rebel Son" Columbia Records 38-03778 1983 A fine if slightly goofy ghost song on the a-side. The b-side, well... interesting definition of freedom there, but perhaps my perspective as a son of a son of a Yankee son is different. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs [06:44] a side: "Ring Dang Doo" b side: "Don't Try It" MGM Records K13397 1965 Some mighty fine Tex Mex (https://youtu.be/8JLhj9NFu48). Cymarron [12:11] a side: "Rings" b side: "Like Children" Entrance Records ZS7 7500 1971 This is the first single on Columbia's Entrance label, a short-lived country rock label. The Standells [18:59] a side: "Riot on the Sunset Strip" b side: "Black Hearted Woman" Tower Records 314 1967 Heck yeah. If you're the sort who enjoys American International Pictures exploitation flicks from the 60s, check out the film of the same name (https://youtu.be/Z32goIG0axU). The riots are also mentioned in The Source Family documentary. Rush & Attack [25:11] a side: "Road Rash/Every Night/About Me" b side: "Bike/Dreams/Black Smoke" Three Ring Records TRR079 2013 Truly the best 6 minutes of your day. The Gants [31:06] a side: "Road Runner" b side: "My Baby Don't Care" Liberty Records 55829 1965 Meep meep. A fine cover, but Bo knows (https://youtu.be/9Hy6EiiNUmA) best. Detroit with Mitch Ryder [36:28] a side: "Rock 'N Roll" b side: "Box of Old Roses" Paramount Records PAA-0133 1971 A cownbell rocker from fka The Detroit Wheels, featuring the guitar work of Steve Hunter who would go on to play with Lou Reed and whose hot licks can be heard on Reed's Rock and Roll Animal. The Clash [42:57] a side: "Rock the Casbah" b side: "Long Time Jerk" Epic Records 34-03245 1982 The ubiquitous sound of popular music tastes in American changing. Music behind the DJ: "Caravan" by Thelonius Monk.

Guided By Voices [01:03] a side: "We Won't Apologize for the Human Race" b side: "The Unsinkable Fats Domino" Matador Records OLE-973 2011 Some intricate arrangements on the a side (for a GBV tune) and a fine snappy b side from the 2011 reformed "classic" version of GBV. The Banana Splits [07:00] a side: "We're the Banana Splits" b side: "Wait 'til Tomorrow" Decca Records 32391 1968 And here you thought The Banana Splits were a one hit wonder. Jackie DeShannon [12:38] a side: "The Weight" b side: "Effervescent Blue" Imperial Records 66313 1968 Jackie puts a little love in this classic by The Band, which reached number 55 on the US Hot 100. Uberhund [18:22] a side: "Welcome to Hhothh" b side: "No Hands" Isota Records sody012 2003 Another of my Isota Records singles club selections, this one on a lovely translucent blue. Palace Music [26:58] a side: "West Palm Beach" b side: "Gulf Shores" Palace Records PR2 1995 Somewhere between Days in the Wake and Viva Last Blues came this lovely single from Mr. Oldham. Jimmy & Johnny [37:05] a side: "What'cha Doin' to Me" b side: "I'll Do It Everytime" Decca Records 9-30410 1957 Jimmy Lee Fautheree and Lynn Fautheree, vets of the Lousiana Hayride and members of Faron Young's Deputies, giving us some fine rockabilly-esque country. Lipstick Pickups a side: "What I Want/Kill Tonite/Black Cherry Soda Pop" [42:32] Bikini Bumps b side: "One Sheep, Two Sheep, Three Sheep, Four.../Bikini Bumps + Talent = Violence" [46:38] Geykiddo Comet Records GC V 006/Erectords EREC 003 2002 Some vintage aughties pop punk from So Cal. Leif Garrett [53:26] a side: "When I Think of You" b side: "New York City Lights" Scotti Brothers SB 502 1978 Sloooow jaaaam. The 4th single from his sophomore album with some standard issue disco fare on the flipside. Music behind the DJ: "The Heroics of Luke and Han" by John Williams

The Shirts [mm:ss] "Teenage Crutch" The Shirts Capitol Records SW-11791 1978 (US pressing) (see below) The Shirts [mm:ss] "Reduced to a Whisper" The Shirts Harvest 5C 062-06 717 1978 (Netherlands pressing) That's right, not one but 2 (two!) tracks from The Shirts' debut album. Normally, I am not one to buy 2 copies of the same album, but when I was in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, I came across the Netherlands pressing with a more stylized cover and couldn't resist. They were one of the original CBGB bands that saw more success in Europe. You can also spot lead singer Annie Golden in the film adaptation of Hair (Forman, 1979) (https://youtu.be/VN5zup3b7fw?si=859TcqBo5ArA0iD2). Philharmonic Symphony of New York, Dimitri Mitropoulos [mm:ss] "Second Movement: Allegretto" Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 Op. 47 Columbia Masterworks ML 4739 1962 Composed by the Soviet Russian Shostakovich in 1937, this recording dates to 1953. Robyn Hitchcock [mm:ss] "Socrates in Thin Air" Shufflemania! Tiny Ghost Records TINY GHOST 07 2022 Great outing from Mr. Hitchcock from a couple of years ago. Joined here by Soft Boy cohort Kimberley Rew on guitar. Los Campesinos! [mm:ss] "5 Flucloxacillin" Sick Scenes Wichita WEBB500LP 2017 The wonderful 6th album from these Cardiff folks. Self-financed, no less! There is a supercute video for this song done in the style of the BBC show Flog It! (https://youtu.be/aoqs0PJ12zM?si=rIefWNr2Mwj3F3-d) Thompson Twins [mm:ss] "We Are Detective" Side Kicks Arista AL 6607 1983 So much floppy hair. The trio's third single from their third album. A suitably 80s video was also made for this track. (https://youtu.be/l2SMSoblH3Y?si=jw9yBHEFqSlCRxvH) Raspberries [mm:ss] "Tonight" Side 3 Capitol Records SMAS-11220 1973 Speaking of third albums. This song was the first of three singles from the album and reached number 69 on the Hot 100. Rush [mm:ss] "New World Man" Signals Mercury SRM-1-4063 1982 Rush's only Top 40 single, oddly enough. From the last album produced by Terry Brown. Sure, I could have chosen "Subdivisions" but if you were like me and were a suburban early-teenage male when this album came out, it was pretty inescapable and hence not really necessary to revisit. Boz Scaggs [mm:ss] "Lido Shuffle" Silk Degrees Columbia PC 33920 1976 Speaking of ubiquitous songs from my youth. With Mr. Scaggs himself on the Moog riffs. Sqürl [mm:ss] "John Ashbery Takes a Walk" Silver Haze Sacred Bones Records SBR-316 2023 Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan, assisted here by Charlotte Gainsbourg in an homage to the poet John Ashbery. There's a nice moody video to accompany this song as well (https://youtu.be/EdlCG4aw7Q4?si=nQisL8r1JTM_vHrk). Klaus Nomi [mm:ss] "Falling in Love Again" Simple Man RCA Victor PL 37702 1982 A contemporary update of the Marlene Dietrich classic (https://youtu.be/8gAo2aR_tUw?si=jpfY2F2guahlnPea) from the iconic Klaus Nomi's second album. Kris Kristofferson [mm:ss] "The Pilgrim - Chapter 33" The Silver Tongued Devil and I Monument Z 30679 1971 If I were Donnie Fritts (which I can only aspire to), I would have definitely had my name legally changed to Funky Donnie Fritts. Nine Inch Nails [mm:ss] "Sin (Short)" Sin TVT Records TVT2617-1 1990 Why it seems like 33 1/3 years ago that this album was released. Frank Sinatra [mm:ss] "When Somebody Loves You" Sinatra '65 Reprise RS-6167 1965 That is some bizarre stereo separation. Frank Sinatra [mm:ss] "Witchcraft" Sinatra's Sinatra Reprise Records R9-1010 1963 Some of Frank's big hits, recompiled here for his own label. Dwight Twilley Band [mm:ss] "I'm on Fire" Sincerely Shelter Records SRL-52001 1976 Some primo power pop kicking off Dwight Twilley Band's debut outing on the already-doomed at the time Shelter Records.

Thurston Moore/Talk Normal a: "Boogie X/Hot Date/Boogie Y" b: "Gold Dime" Fast Weapon Records (2011) You're probably wondering what Talk Normal is like live (https://vimeo.com/26742138), apart from awesome. Pretenders a: "Brass in Pocket (I'm Special)" b: "Space Invader" Sire Records (1979) Ah, my first rock and roll crush (https://youtu.be/-7Hy7uAb_eU?t=8s). Bobby Wood a: "Break My Mind" b: "This Thing Called Love" MGM Records K13797 (1967) Here's a pretty rad version of this JD Loudermilk song (https://youtu.be/Rj9LONoNljU) by Linda Ronstadt & Swampwater.

Japan [00:49] "All Tomorrow's Parties" All Tomorrow's Parties Hansa 1218 1983 Well, it's certainly of a time. Originally recorded in 1979, this Steve Nye remix was released in 1983. Benny Goodman Sextet [06:05] "Flying Home" All-Time Greatest Hits Columbia KG 31547 1972 From one of the many, many Columbia retreads of Goodman's material, we have Lionel Hampton's signature tune "Flying Home" featuring solos by both Hampton and pioneer electric-guitarist Charlie Christian. Willie Nelson [09:25] "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" Always on My Mind Columbia FC 37951 1983 I was really hoping Willie's rendition of the Aretha Franklin classic would well, not be a weak early 80s arrangement. But there ya have it. Ya can't win 'em all. The Decemberists [12:23] "Valerie Plame" Always the Bridesmaid, Vol. 1: A Singles Series Jealous Butcher/Y.A.B.B. Records JB-074 2008 Ah, a single from simpler political times. The Decemberists [18:26] "Days of Elaine" Always the Bridesmaid, Vol. 2: A Singles Series Jealous Butcher/Y.A.B.B. Records JB-075 2008 A snappy little number from Mr. Meloy and Co. This single also features a cover of VU's I'm Sticking with You. The Decemberists [22:55] "Record Year of Rainfall" Always the Bridesmaid, Vol. 3: A Singles Series Jealous Butcher/Y.A.B.B. Records JB-076 2008 Sure wish we were having a record year for rainfall here in Sonoma County. Brian Eno [27:26] "2/2" "Ambient 1: Music for Airports PVC/Ambient Records 7908 AMB001 1978 Ground breaking ambient music from Mr. Eno with this track engineered by krautrock/kosmiche impresario Conny Plank. Hermes Nye [37:49] "Bonnie & Clyde" American Folk Music (The Life Treasury of) LIFE L1001 1961 Jiminy jilligers... those are some sympathetic sentiments right there. Neil Young [40:48] "Hold Back the Tears" American Stars 'n Bars Reprise MSK 2261 1977 Linda Ronstadt and Nicolette Larson on backing vox, Ben Keith on pedal steel. All fine stuff on this track. Other tracks on this album featured Crazy Horse, and of course Star of Bethlehem with Emmylou Harris. Made it to number 21 on the top 200. Oh, and the awesome cover art by none other than Dean Stockwell. Silver Jews [45:08] "Smith & Jones Forever" American Water Drag City DC149 1998 Recorded at the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, the late great Dave Berman created another wondrous record. Michael Nesmith [48:28] "Different Drum" And the Hits Just Keep Comin' RCA Victor LSP-4695 Michael Nesmith and Red Rhodes with a post-First National Band release. Mighty fine in its simplicity. Brian Eno [52:43] "I'll Come Running" Another Green World Polydor Deluxe 2302 069 1975 Yes, more Eno. This time it's Pop Eno. So many great tracks to choose from this 1975 album, but I've always loved this kinda goofy number featuring Robert Fripp on "restrained lead guitar". Gladys Knight and the Pips [56:32] "Help Me Make It Through the Knight" Anthology Motown M792S2 1973 I saw this song listed on the back of the album and thought, wow... I need to hear this version. And now you have too! This rendition made it to number 33 on the Hot 100. The Supremes [01:00:57] "Baby Love" Anthology Motown M9-794A3 1974 Once again, sometimes you just have to go with the classics, like this number one smash hit from 1964. Dean Hurley [01:03:32] "Edge of Known" Anthology Resource Vol. II: Philosophy of Beyond Sacred Bones Records SBR-225 2019 Like many folks, I was introduced to the work of Dean Hurley through his sonic contribution to Twin Peaks: The Return and was instantly enthralled. This is the second collection of thematic soundscapes, dealing with what lies beyond the veil. Music behind the DJ: "Dance with Domino" by John Barry

Babes in Toyland [00:31] "Dust Cake Boy" Sugar and Spice Foxcore Records F9 1992 From a UK bootleg featuring demos and studio outtakes from Babes in Toyland, and Peel Session tracks from Hole. Talk Normal [04:09] "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" Sugarland Rare Book Room Records RBR005 2009 Blistering Roxy Music cover (https://youtu.be/boo5PDjf1Es?si=j-vWw2hnjJrb98DJ) from this Brooklyn duo (https://youtu.be/BgdDDJEzhJA?si=rXvYkftPvYkA8bJ4). Suicidal Tendencies [10:17] "Won't Fall in Love Today" Suicidal Tendencies Frontier Records FLP 1011 1983 This is a 2005 reissue on red-ish transparent vinyl. Produced by Glen E. Friedman, who is better known as a photographer (http://burningflags.com/home/) famous for documenting the nascent punk and skateboard scene. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [11:13] "Ease Down the Road" Summer in the Southeast Sea Note SN11 2005 Live album recorded while touring Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Helping out Will Oldham here are his brother Paul on bass, Peter Townshend on drums, Dave Bird and Matt Sweeney on guitar. Wayne Newton [16:58] "Summer Wind" Summer Wind Capitol Records T 2389 1965 A young Mr. Entertainment taking a pass at this Johnny Mercer number adapted from a German/Danish single by Gerthe Ingmann (https://youtu.be/d_wWy79DV0E?si=tyb8AIlZ0iv0PdJ7). I will forever associate this song with Martin singing this song (https://youtu.be/d_wWy79DV0E?si=tyb8AIlZ0iv0PdJ7) at the end of The Simpsons episode Bart of Darkness (S06E01). Thou [19:33] "Grissecon" Summit Gilead Media relic 31 2018 An excellent reissue of Thou's 2010 album Summit originally released on Southern Lord, along with material from The Archer and The Owle EP released on Robotic Empire. I still think it is amazing that Thou were the first metal band to appear on NPR's Tiny Desk (https://youtu.be/IUVYgCwpv7Y?si=tOq09uk2XAP45o5x) (minus lead vocalist Bryan Funck). Be-Bop Deluxe [27:55] "Heavenly Homes" Sunburst Finish Harvest ST-11478 1976 Some excellent melodic guitar dynamics on this track from Bill Nelson and co's third studio album. Guided by Voices [32:51] "Heavy Metal Country" Sunfish Holy Breakfast Matador OLE 185-1 1996 EP from somewhere around the Alien Lanes/Under the Bushes Under the Stars era. On lovely translucent blue vinyl. Earl-Jean McCrea [36:09] "I'm Into Something Good" Super Girls Lake Shore Music OP 3507 1979 _As seen on TV (https://youtu.be/K2t9Iwl07sA?si=JmonzgyBe6Sr8MuV)! Forty original hits by forty original artists. In mono! Earl-Jean of the Cookies sends this original recording of the Goffin and King hit shortly thereafter by Herman's Hermits. _ 1000 Homo DJs [38:56] "Supernaut" Supernaut Wax Trax! Records WAX 9133 1990 Peak Industrial cover from Al Journgensen and friends. Certainly not as good as the Sabbath orignal (https://youtu.be/nUb0QaDjP78?si=QtuvXBJhZNFU4yFM) but still makes an impact, though it does go on a bit. Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [45:33] "Bed Is for Sleeping" Superwolf Drag City DC179 2005 Excellent collaboration between the two, with some excellent illustrations by Matt and Spencer Sweeney. Produced by Superwolfmen. Jefferson Airplane [49:42] "White Rabbit" Surrealistic Pillow RCA Victor LSP-3766 1967 Normally I would go with "Plastic Fantastic Lover (https://youtu.be/NUc8vkO3oxY?si=OBKbSnjAAEQsJMbK)", but as I've said before, sometimes you gotta go with the hits. Grace was evidently inspired by Miles Davis' Sketches in Spain when coming up with the music from this piece. Survive [52:11] "Sorceror" Survive RR7349 Relapse Records RR7349 2016 Some tasty synthwave from the band behind the Stranger Things sound. Shizuko and Shinichi Suzuki [56:31] "Long, Long Ago (Bayly)" Suzuki Violin School, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 Summy-Birchard Music CSM 1387 1970 I was a child violin prodigy... until I had to read music. Quintron and Miss Pussycat [57:10] "Witch in the Club" Swamp Tech Tigerbeat 6 MEOW119LP 2005 Organ magic from the one and only Quintron and the amazing Miss Pussycat. I'll have to remember this track for next Halloween. Music behind the DJ: "Quinn the Eskimo" by Arthur Greenslade and his Orchestra

Blondie a: "Call Me" b: "Call Me (Instrumental)" Chrysalis Records CHS 2414 Just a gigolo (https://youtu.be/Rcq2bdeP0Ec). Rufus Thomas a: "Can Your Monkey Do the Dog?" b: "I Want to Get Married" Stax Records S-144 This monkey can indeed to The Dog. And The Monkey. Pavement a: "Carrot Rope" b: "And Then" Domino Records RUG90 Best Pavement video (https://youtu.be/G53DW71BlNk)? Or best video? The J. Geils Band a: "Centerfold" b: "Rage in the Cage" EMI America A-8102 Number one single because of heavy MTV rotation?

The Photos [mm:ss] "Do You Have Fun" The Photos Epic NJE 36515 1980 Well, do you? Interested parties can spot Wendy Wu in this BBC doc on The New Romantics (https://youtu.be/Idkdr1s64HA). Aldo Ciccolini [mm:ss] "Trois Valses Distinguées Du Précieux Dégoûté" Piano Music of Erik Satie, Vol. 1 Angel Records S-36482 1968 Some modern waltzes of Erik Satie as performed by Mssr. Ciccolini. The Decemberists [mm:ss] "The Sporting Life" Picaresque Kill Rock Stars/Jealous Butcher Records JB-053 2005 A great packaging of this album, including some lovely extra bits on side 4 such as a cover of Joanna Newsome's "Bridges and Balloons" (https://youtu.be/6Drbt86VtOw). This tour also featured Petra Haden helping out on violin and tambo (https://youtu.be/3fmMHnPr9XQ). If I recall correctly, she also performed a rendition of "Wuthering Heights" (https://youtu.be/b6JO1iHmTBk). Spinners [mm:ss] "Games People Play" Pick of the Litter Atlantic SD 18141 1975 A mighty fine album featuring this track which got them to number one on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles in 1975. Iron Maiden [mm:ss] "Die with Your Boots On" Piece of Mind EMI 1A 064-07724 1983 I was all in on this album when I was 15 and played the cassette version of this album to dust. Fortunately I was able to pick up the Benelux pressing when I was in Amsterdam a few months ago. And in case you're wondering, this album made it to number 9 on the Dutch charts. Kowloon Walled City [mm:ss] "Oxygen Tent" Piecework Neurot Recordings/Gilead Media NR119/RELIC111 2021 Majestic and heavy album from this Bay Area band. One of my favorites from 2021, on milky white vinyl. Pinchas Zukerman/Daniel Barenboim/London Philharmonic Orchestra [mm:ss] "Elgar: Violin Concerto, II-Andante" Pinchas Zukerman, Violiin/Daniel Barenboim, Conductor Elgar: Violin Concerto, Op. 61 Columbia Masterworks M 34517 1976 Molto relaxo, molto romantico. Henry Mancini [mm:ss] "The Pink Panther Theme" The Pink Panther RCA Victor LSP-2795 1963 Every day someone is born who has never heard the Pink Panther theme. If you are one of those people, enjoy! The Monkees [mm:ss] "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?" Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. Colgems COS-104 1967 In case you were wondering, Mickey is an Pisces, Peter is an Aquarius, and both Michael and Davy are Capricorns. Boston Spaceships [mm:ss] "Canned Food Demons" The Planets Are Blasted Guided By Voices Inc. GBVI-5 2009 Robert Pollard, Chris Slusarenko, and John Moen. Mick Ronson [mm:ss] "White Light/White Hear" Play Don't Worry RCA APL1-0681 1975 Ok, we get it... you can play guitar. Evidently, Mick salvaged the backing track for this VU number from Bowie's Pin Ups session. George Martin and his Orchestra [mm:ss] "Help!" Play Help! United Artists Records UAS 6448 1965 A very layered jazzy rendtion of the my favorite Beatles' film theme song from the lads' arranger. The Melachrino Strings [mm:ss] "It's Not Unusual" Play the Tom Jones Hits! Pickwick/33 Records SPC-3242 1970 From the label that famously produced inexpensive soundalike compilations of hit songs comes some easy listening renditions of The Welshman. L.A. Witch [mm:ss] "Gen-Z" Play with Fire Suicide Squeeze SSQ173 2020 One of the bright spots of peak Covid was this gem by the excellent LA Witch in August of 2020. Not that you can see it, but this record is on beautiful popsicle red and orange vinyl. Delicious! Xiu Xiu [mm:ss] "Audrey's Dance" Plays the Music of Twin Peaks Polyvinyl Record Company PRC-312 2016 I can neither confirm nor deny that I had a thing for Audrey Horne. Music behind the DJ: "The Tiber Twist" by Henry Mancini

Pat Benatar [00:33] a side: "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" b side: "Prisoner of Love" Chrysalis Records CHS 2464 1980 Made it to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. I have a distinct memory of a local cover band playing this song at an assembly during junior high school. The male lead singer was evidently concerned about his masculinity and swapped "put another notch in my lipstick case" with "put another notch in my guitar case". Whaddya gonna do. The Fantastic Johnny C [06:32] a side: "Hitch It to the Horse" b side: "Cool Broadway" Phil-L.A. of Soul 315 1968 aka Johnny Corley, perhaps best known for (surprise) "Boogaloo Down Broadway". Hit #25 on the R&B charts. Thompson Twins [13:18] a side: "Hold Me Now" b side: "Let Loving Start" Arista Records AS 1-9164 1984 A solidly middling new wave-ish number. Kinda doesn't go anywhere, and in the spirit of the More Is More 80s pop, the closing refrain of the chorus for a freakin' minute and a half. One might argue that synth pop had jumped the shark at this point. But hey, I picked this up for a buck. And the b-side is... something, variation on a theme perhaps? Johnny Nash [21:48] a side: "Hold Me Tight" b side: "Cupid" JAD Records J-207 1968 Some great rocksteady from the man who brought you "I Can See Clearly". Brooklyn Dreams [29:46] a side: "Hollywood Knights" b side: "Hollywood Knights (Instrumental)" [omitted for your sanity] Casablanca Records CAROL 1463-0 1980 Yes, the "hit" single from an actual movie (https://youtu.be/KUrt4REKbHQ). Evidently someone let Robert Wuhl have a lead role. Sort of a Grease-era Revenge of the Jocks romp, if that's your sort of thing. Perfect evidence that nostalgia is a disease. Naked Raygun [32:53] a side: "Home" b side: "Last Drink" Caroline Records CAROL 1463-0 1990 The single from their 1990 record Raygun... Naked Raygun. The b-side is a cover of Nic Austin's band Chelsea. On lovely transluscent green vinyl, with the cover signed by the band. Junior Walker & the All Stars [39:21] a side: "Home Cookin" b side: "Mutiny" Soul Records S 35055 1968 You ain't nothin if you can't cook. I reckon that applies to pretty much everyone, not just a prospective steady. Reached #42 on the Hot 100. Plus a jammin b-side. Palace Songs [46:09] a side: "Horses" b side: "Stable Will" Drag City Records DC47 1994 Refer to episode S04E19 for a higher energy version of "Stable Will". Music behind the DJ: "Everybody's Talkin" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

Artie Shaw and his Gramercy Five [00:48] a side: "When the Quail Come Back to San Quentin" b side: "Tenderly" Clef Records EP-242 1955 There certainly are lots of quail in the Bay Area, surely there must be some near San Quentin? Planning for Burial a side: "When We Were Ghosts" [11:34] Mother Room b side: "Arise" [16:01] The Native Sound Records NATIVE010 2015 Planning for Burial is a great live act if you have the chance to catch him. Linda Ronstadt [23:43] a side: "When Will I Be Loved" b side: "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" Capitol Records 4050 1974 A mighty fine Phil Everly a-side and a mighty fine Buddy Holly b-side. The Supremes [29:22] a side: "Where Did Our Love Go?" b side: "He Means the World to Me" Motown Records M-1060 1964 Our love is right here! On Vinyl-O-Matic of course. The Damned [34:22] a side: "White Rabbit" b side: "Rabid (Over You)/Seagulls" Big Beat Records NS-85 1980 (1985 RE) Take that, hippies. Whitey on the Moon UK [43:58] a side: "Whitey on the Moon/Dinner for Two" b side: "(in which)/Mo' Tussin" isota records sody004 2002 For some reason, I am reminded of Kermit and Miss Piggy's dinner in The Muppet Movie with Steve Martin as their hapless waiter. Men at Work [55:50] a side: "Who Can It Be Now?" b side: "Anyone for Tennis?" Columbia Records 18-02888 1981 Why it's a hit record, that's who it is now. Don Gibson [01:02:14] a side: "Who Cares" b side: "A Stranger to Me" RCA Victor 47-7437 1958 Hit number 3 on the Country charts. Music behind the DJ: "The Four Seasons: Spring (Vivaldi)" by The New Koto Ensemble of Tokyo.

Tortoise & Bonnie Prince Billy [01:01] "Love Is Love" The Brave and The Bold Overcoat Recordings OC27 2006 A solid collaboration providing a pretty good cover of an excellent Lungfish song (https://youtu.be/AkQ-N2M2_3o). Who knew the combo would work out so well? Dave Brubeck [04:30] "Besame Mucho" Bravo! Brubeck! Columbia CS 9495 1967 The quartet recorded live in Mexico, with support from Chamin Correa on guitar and Salvatore Agueros on bongo and conga. Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge [10:16] "Sweet Susannah" Breakaway Monument PZ 33278 1974 A snappy little cajun-flavored number by Floyd Gib Guilbeau. Deerhoof [12:50] "Mothball the Fleet" Breakup Song Polyvinyl Record Company PRC-244 2012 I really like the thumb piano-type riff in this one. George Benson [17:16] "Breezin'" Breezin' Warner Bros. BS 2919 1976 Certified RIAA Sales Award! The Bobby Womack-penned title track looms large in my memory as the community calendar music for KCCI. B/B/S/ [22:54] "Mask" Brick Mask Miasmah MIALP022 2013 The debut from Berlin trio of Canadian Aidan Baker on guitar, Italian Andrea Belfi on drums and electronics, and Norwegian Erik Skodvin on guitar. The Blues Brothers [31:37] "Hey Bartender" Briefcase Full of Blues Atlantic SD 19217 1978 10 year old me was super into this album. This double-platinum album was recorded in LA at the Universal Ampitheater, where they were the opening act for Steve Martin. When I spotted this copy at Dog Eared Books in San Francisco for 3 bucks, I figured it was worth it for sentimental reasons at least. Silver Jews [34:36] "Slow Education" Bright Flight Drag City DC215 2001 The opening track to this engaging 2001 album. Words and music by the late, great David Berman. Pavement [37:35] "We Are Underused" Brighten the Corners Matador OLE 197-1 1997 Theme song for a generation? The fourth studio album from Pavement, which reached alllll the way up to 70 on the Top 200. It was definitely in my Top 5 for 1997. Jackie Gleason [41:49] "Wilkommen" Broadway & Hollywood Showstoppers Capitol SL-6645 Aw, I was really hoping The Great One himself would be belting this out, but evidently it's from one of his mood music collections. Aidan Baker [45:25] "Anna Broke De Dr Me" Broken & Remade Revolverman Records RMR 004 2010 A sublime album of songs built from 4-8 second samples of instruments, featuring Aidan Baker (https://brokenspineprods.bandcamp.com/) on electric, acoustic and bass guitars, flute, vocals, and synth; Richard Baker on drums; Lucas Baker on trumpet; and Sarah Gleadow on violin. Marianne Faithfull [53:47] "Broken English" Broken English Island ILPS 9570 1979 I was hoping to find a video for her infamous SNL performance of this song, but no such luck. Plus, it's better to just enjoy the song in its original format. Boston Spaceships [58:23] "Go for the Exit" Brown Submarine Guided By Voices Inc GBVI-3 Robert Pollard, Chris Slusaranko, and John Moen brining their indie power pop excellence together.Spaceships Music behind the DJ: "Jackie" by Billy May and his Orchestra

Disney Chorus and Orchestra [00:20] "Little April Shower" Walter Disney's Story of Bambi Disneyland ST 3903 1960 Plip plop plip. You may recall from the last episode we heard a track from Stay Awake. On that album, "Little April Shower" is performed by Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe, and the Roches (https://youtu.be/7ObPekx0h0M?si=BWAulm8X4hnsji14). Thelonius Monk [03:35] "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" Straight No Chaser Columbia CS 2651 1967 Monk takes a fine run at this standard originally recorded by Cab Calloway. Helped out here by Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums. Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein [11:14] "The Upside Down" Stranger Things - Volume One (A Netflix Series) Lakeshore Records 2016 Ah, the first season (https://youtu.be/b9EkMc79ZSU?si=8SqvgKenleN2NEJ0) was pretty near perfect. Had to go with the iconic title track. Frank Sinatra with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra [12:21] "Call Me" Strangers in the Night Reprise Records FS 1017 1966 Oddly enough, Frank has not one but two (2!) Petula Clark covers on this album including this one. I much prefer the brassy sassy production of Petula's version (https://youtu.be/M_mkSWxN2xk?si=gya-HwLlYCWK093i). Less Art [16:22] "Diana the Huntress" Strangled Light Gilead Media RELIC88 2017 Featuring members of Kowloon Walled City and Thrice. Igor Stravinsky and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra [19:34] "Firebird Ballet Suite (1945): Introduction - Prelude and Dance of the Firebird - Variations" Stravinsky Conducts Firebird Suite/Petrushka Suite Columbia Masterworks MS 7011 1967 This is the 1945 arrangement of The Firebird Suite. Roxy Music [22:44] "Over You" Street Life - 20 Great Hits EG EGTV 1 1986 A single orignally from Roxy Music's Flesh and Blood (https://youtu.be/3TL-Bc1giO8?si=FaZvmtDfdg2K-5uF). Evidently recorded as a way to tes tout Phil Manzanera's recently constructed studio. Made it as high as number 80 on the Hot 100. Death Valley Girls [26:07] "Electric High" Street Venom Suicide Squeeze SSQ181 2021 (originally recorded and released in 2014) Closing track to Death Valley Girl's debut studio album. Psych rock excellence (https://youtu.be/AO8z3AwIIaw?si=JCyzx7zyGK17UD5K). Salem 66 [31:08] "Seven Steps Down" 1984 Great Plains [mm:ss] "When Do You Say Hello" 1983 Strum and Thrum: The American Jangle Underground 1983-1987 Captured Tracks CT-302 2020 If you love jangle, you'll love Strum and Thrum. 28 tracks of jingle jangle goodness. An exceptional compilation that includes a 80 page booklet that dives into the scene. Yo La Tengo [36:39] "My Heart's Not In It" Stuff Like That There Matador OLE-1079-1 2015 It's hard to choose just once song from this album, but the opening track does a great job getting the listener in the mood for the album. It's a lovely rendition of the Gerry Goffin/Russ Titelman single recorded by Darlene McCrea (https://youtu.be/CuetP9wAHnY?si=o9YtuELwMU3C6S0v). New Order [39:25] "Sub-Culture" Sub-Culture Factory fac 133 1985 A remix by John Robie of the band's third single from Low-life (https://youtu.be/Uetuplhan_U?si=Or8I0F30teDUWLOh). The flip side is, of course, Dub-Culture. Ahmed Ben Ali [47:53] "Subhana" Subhana Habibi Funk HABIBI022 2023 That's right... reggae by way of Libya. Evidently reggae arrived right around peak Bob Marley and the Wailers and it took off from there. Barren Harvest [52:46] "Claw and Feather" Subtle Cruelties Handmade Birds HB-071 2014 Some dark and lovely ambient folk metal from Portland featuring Jessica Way of Worm Ourobouros. Nancy Sinatra [58:33] "Sugar Town" Sugar Reprise Records RS-6239 1967 A Lee Hazlewood number (naturally) that he says is an allusion to LSD sugar cubes. Featuring Wrecking Crew members including the great Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, and Hal Blaine. Music behind the DJ: "These Boots Were Made for Walking" by Les Brown and his Orchestra

Nadja & Vampillia [00:24] "Imperfect Worlds" /ımpəˈfɛkʃ​(​ə​)​n/ Throne Records TR56 2015 The third collaboration between Berlin-based Canadian duo Nadja and Osaka-based Vampillia. Quite a sublime voyage. Mike Nichols & Elaine May [19:45] "Chopin" Improvisations Mercury MG-20376 1958 Some fine improvisations from this classic comedic team. Architecture in Helsinki [23:30] "It'5!" In Case We Die Moshi Moshi Records MOSHILP07 2006 Super fun song with a super fun video (https://youtu.be/66ILUYvon7I)._ Cheap Trick [25:38] "Southern Girls" In Color Epic PE 34884 1977 So hard to choose just one track from this album, but I'll go with this one. Pure power pop goodness. For interested parties: if you shake the Internet hard enough, you might be able to find a re-recording of In Color produced by Steve Albini that features a sound closer to what the band originally intended. The drum sound on that version's "Southern Girls" is astounding. Sarah Vaughan [29:21] "It Might as Well Be Spring" In Hi-Fi Columbia EN 13084 1976 A re-issue of a 1955 collection of performance by Sarah Vaughan. Miles Davis can be heard on trumpet. Aretha Franklin [32:35] "Night Life" In Paris Atlantic SD 8207 1968 Aretha covers Willie. And it works! Ray Charles [37:53] "The Right Time" In Person Atlantic 8039 1960 Recorded live at Herndon Stadium in Atlanta. This lead track features Marjorie Hendricks on vocals. Stevie Wonder [42:11] "Part-Time Lover" In Square Circle Tamla 6134TL 1985 This song made it to number 1 on the Hot 100, and features Luther Vandross with a vocal assist. Of course Stevie plays drums and synths. Bauhaus [46:23] "In the Flat Field" In the Flat Field Expanded Music/4AD EX 5/CAD 13 1981 Title track from Bauhaus' debut album. This is the Italian pressing of the 4AD classic. Kool & the Gang [51:24] "Straight Ahead" Into the Heart De-Lite Records DSR 8508 1985 The 15th(!) studio album from Kool & Co. While this song only made it to number 103 in the US as a single, it did crack the top 20 in the UK. Frank Sinatra [54:56] "Mood Indigo" In the Wee Small Hours Capitol Records W-581 1955 (1956 Scranton Pressing) I guess Frank was blue because divorcing his wife to marry Ava Gardner didn't work out so well. Music behind the DJ: "My Cherie Amour" by Perry Botkin Jr. & his Orchestra

XTC a side: "Generals and Majors (Stereo)" b side: "Generals and Majors" (Mono) Virgin RSO Records VR 300 1980 So nice I had to play it twice, or as the great Stashu (http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/YN) says, "Jeszcze raz!". Also the video (https://youtu.be/p-JeQduJ0f8) is pretty cute. Huey "Piano" Smith and his Clowns a side: "Genevieve" b side: "Would You Believe It (I've Got a Cold)" Ace Records S-310/S-311 1959 Maybe I have been drinking tequila all day. Low Flying Owls a side: "Georgie Shot Johnnie" b side: "Silhouettes of Furs" Isota Records sody009 2003 One of the great items I got through the Isota Records Singles Club. Palace a side: "Gezundheit" b side: "Let the Wires Ring" Hausmuzik HM-012 1995 The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion a side: "Ghetto Mom" b side: "Do Ya Wanna Get It" In the Red Records ITR 088 2002 George Benson a side: "Give Me the Night" b side: "Dinorah, Dinorah" Warner Bros Records W17653 Produced by Quincy Jones no less. Oddly, one of my favorite songs when I was 12. a side: Them "Gloria" 1964 b side: Marianne Faithfull"As Tears Go By" 1964 Collectables 4238AB For the faithful jukebox owner. Pavement a side: "Gold Soundz/Kneeling Bus" b side: "Strings of Nashville/Exit Theory (Edit)" Matador Records OLE-101-7 1994 Beautiful translucent red vinyl, featuring the classic Crooked Rain track, plus the equally beautiful "Strings of Nashville". Music behind the DJ: "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man" by The Gene Norman Group

Peter Brown [00:34] "Do You Wanna Get Funky with Me?" Do You Wanna Get Funky with Me? Drive 104 1977 Well do ya, punk? The Miracles [09:33] "I Gotta Dance to Keep from Cryin'" Doin' Mickey's Monkey TAMLA Records 245 1963 Greatest. Song. Of. All. Time. Nadja/Troum [13:02] "Part 1" Dominium Visurgis Denovali Records DEN59 2010 A spontaneous improvisation between the two duos recorded live in Bremen. On excellent white and black haze vinyl. Gordon Lightfoot [25:12] "Don Quixote" Don Quixote Reprise Records MS 2056 1972 I mean really, if you're going to title and album Don Quixote, I'm going to have to check out the title track. Solid if typical fare from the Canadian troubador. Billy Squier [28:51] "In the Night" Don't Say No Capitol Records ST 12146 1981 The second single from this triple platinum album that was hard to avoid in 1981. Elton John [32:58] "Crocodile Rock" Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player MCA Records MCA-2100 1973 My instinct was to go with "Texas Love Song" but that just seems too damned depressing currently. Instead, I'm going with the this song that made it all the way to number 1 on the Hot 100. Whenever I heard this song, I just think about The Muppets (https://youtu.be/Ji6qM1-NJ_0). Billy Idol [36:51] "Dancing with Myself" Don't Stop Chrysalis PV 44000 1981 Well, since we're in a dancing mood now. The remixed and re-released Gen X version. Dion DiMuci [43:00] "Donna the Prima Donna" Donna the Prima Donna Columbia CL 2107 1963 I hope Dion recovered from his broken heart. There's also a cover of Ritchie Valens' "Donna" just so all the bases are covered. The Doors [45:47] "The End" The Doors Elektra EKS-74007 1967 Ok ok... I might be running out the clock on this one, but you'll understand why on the next episode. Music behind the DJ: "Sunshine of Your Love" by Ken Thorne and his Orchestra
