giantslothI will skip the meme-ing and tagging and get straight into seven songs I've been listening to lately.
1. "Admiral Cole," Alasdair Roberts. I've been on an Alasdair Roberts kick for almost a year now. This is one of the peppier tunes, but it's still about a sea voyage that, uh, doesn't go very well. Also known as "The Bold Benjamin."
2. "Little Queenie," Jerry Lee Lewis. Yeah, it's a Chuck Berry song, but the Killer does a revved up version of it. (As do the Stones, heck, as does the Velvet Underground.)
3. "Amphetamine," Peter Laughner. The Rocket from the Tombs reunion show and CD were great, but nobody sings "take the guitar player for a ride" like the guy who wrote it back in that strange time known as the 1970s. RIP.
4. "Focus On Sanity," Ornette Coleman. The Atlantic recordings boxed set is my default writing music. I can't have lyrics being sung when I'm trying to type words. I can have harmolodic saxophone, though.
5. "Oh Yoko!" John Lennon. Watched RUSHMORE for the first time in ages a few weeks back. For all its flaws, I still love many, many moments in that movie. Including all the soundtrack stuff, before that particular Anderson move got tired (although I will give him "Search and Destroy" in THE LIFE AQUATIC, no problem).
6. 'One More Minute," Chatham County Line. Local bluegrass boys make with the yearning.
7. "Blues Run the Game," Jackson C. Frank. OK, so this list sucks, because there are only males on it. Mea culpa. But I will end with this one, because it's So True. Maybe it shouldn't be, or doesn't have to be, though.
