I don’t know why, but I have been thinking about Mr. T lately.

Hence the title.

The music, y’all! ::

• Superman :: REM

from the album, Life’s Rich Pageant . . . this song goes out to my dorky cool homeboys: Ron, Dave and Mike and all the fine folks I met from DC Comics. Thank you so much for the warm welcoming slightly sweaty embrace into your world. You all rock.

• Senses Working Overtime :: XTC

Another old flashback… which kinda goes along with my whole Comicon experience. I took photos for four straight days, Thursday through Sunday. You can view them here.

• Cast It At The Setting Sail :: Danielson

from the album Ships. Thanks to super Bee for sharing the album with me. It is frequently listened to on my iPod.

• Sea Of Love :: Cat Power

I love this cover. A lot. There’s something honest and haunting about the way she sings it. Sigh.

• If You Don’t Like Me, Don’t Look At Me :: Morrissey

from the EP-ish thingy, The Youngest Was The Most Loved. Thanks so much to super Bee for giving me the EP thingy. Morrissey so totally rules.

• With Arms Outstretched :: Rilo Kiley

from the album The Execution of All Things. I love the singalong factor at the end of this track. And plus, I love Jenny.

• Let’s Dance :: M.Ward

Another cover song. I love the original so much and when super Bee sent this to me, I was seriously addicted to it and couldn’t stop listening to it. I played it for my friends in their cars and waited for their “whoa!” reactions to how much this cover rules.

I love the first time he sings, “and if ya say run… I’ll run with you...” I love the way each syllable is annunciated. Ohh… that part kills me when it’s super loud in the headphones. Oh sigh.

Thanks for listening and for everyone’s nice emails about my podcast. The one’s where people ask for a new one make me laugh. And I love it when people say I keep them company at work… or in some sorta dull situation where music provides a nice rescue during the day.

That makes me super happy.

Hope everyone enjoys August!

Rock on.
