Sure, you may know Harper Valley but Ms. Riley really starts to let it out on this later single.

Loading... Here is a tune I came across in the past few years that I really enjoyed. Hope you do too.

If you haven't seen Lodge, I can't recommend enough. Has a real old basement feel.

Maybe it's getting older, maybe it is I can only listen to the same songs so many times but I have spent a lot of time the past few years seeking out new to me stuff. Here is one I stumbled across last year that has been covered by a few folks. Doug Sahm and his crew, 1975 at Austin City Limits

Hopefully one day we may all benefit from both of those actions but this week you may see some value from the tunes side.
2022, live at Wonderland
Unrelated I had some folks reach out to me privately about the disgusting events from over the weekend in Buffalo. Thanks to the well wishers. This happened in a real food desert neighborhood and local food banks and counseling services could always use any help they can get. Sadly, I know that the Twin Cites know this pain too. All good vibes are reciprocated.

Anyway, this definitely reminds me of Uncle Rock.
It's been a nice week to share a few songs. Thanks all!

That was a key thing for him, and he seemed to really dig Billy Joel. Obviously this song isn't really about the good dying young, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about him when it is played.

(3 votes, average: 9.00 out of 10)Loading... My friend Radhika died pretty tragically last year, and this song tracks back to our time in college together. One of the first books we read in our class was The Collector by John Fowles, which is a perfectly creepy book about a kidnapping. And somehow or other Radhika and I ended up discussing this song as being creepy and kidnappy right alongside our book.
Also, yes, this has been played on the site before, but it's a different, just-Sting, performance at least?
