• Bring Your Love Down (Didn’t I) :: Yaz

from an old fave Upstairs At Eric’s. This brings back memories of karate shoes and garage dance parties.
Holy crap, you’re going to dance like crazy to this song. I suggest you stretch a bit before playing this one.

• Age Of Consent :: Grant Lee Philips

from the album nineteeneighties. It’s all 80’s covers, including a pretty great Smiths cover. I’ve seen Grant Lee Buffalo a few times back in the early 90’s in LA…. and all I can really remember is that he looked sleepy all the time; actually, kinda like a sleepy monkey. Yes? Am I right? Anyone?

• When You’re Near Me I Have Difficulty :: XTC

Bee gifted me this whole album, Drums and Wires, cuz he’s rad like that. The best parts of this song, in my opinion:
1. the annunciation of “difficulty”
2. the jellyfish part

• Alone Again Or :: Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs

Good god, I love that Matthew Sweet, middle-aged, frumpster’s voice! That, plus Susanna Hoffs (remember that song “Eternal Flame? That’s some singing Bangles girlie!)... who could ask for more?

• Skeleton Key :: Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s

• I Love You, Ono :: Stereo Total

• Parachute :: Sean Lennon

Oh boy, I love this new Sean Lennon album, Friendly Fire. God, doesn’t he sound like his dad? This song is just great. You know the part M & I like to sing? ... the background “la la la la’s”, of course.

• O Valencia! :: The Decemberists

This is some single and I like it very much. Lots of awesomeness abounds note for note. It just keeps going and rocking and doesn’t stop and never looks back. I appreciate songs like that. Go Decemberists dude! (Does anyone else confuse his recent pics with the Gibbard?)

Thanks for listening to my podcast! Hopefully, I can get my iTunes issues straightened out and podcast a little more regularly.

Take care everyone who listens to this. You rule!
