Posting is going to be a bit more sporadic for the next month as I move and go off on tour with my band, but I'll make sure to not let the well run entirely dry. This is from the excellent "How Sweet It Was" compilation.

Song of the Day: Willie Nelson - Stardust


Sometimes pleasant is what you are looking for. By the way, this album is weirdly hard to find on the internet.

Song of the Day: Emitt Rhodes - Promises I've Made


This album was playing in a cafe yesterday, I had completely forgotten it existed. Probably best known for the song Lullaby on the Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. yep. Beatles-esque is way better than actual Beatles if you ask me.

Song of the Day: The Dixie Hummingbirds - Christian's Automobile



If any of you (this is assuming there are people out there I realize) are in to this sort of thing I'd highly recommend heading over to africangospelchurch to download the Best of WFMU's Sinner's Crossroads compilation. Do it, you know? It's good for you.

Holy Cow Joe Bataan Is Great

I mean, seriously, great. Riot might be a good record to start with, but it would be a crime of me to not mention how great a name "St. Latin's Day Massacre" is.

Song of the Day: Willie Colon - Che Che Cole


I've been really into these Fania records lately. Also Willie Colon was pretty bad ass. These are both statements. 2011 is the year of Salsa and Gospel. So it has been said, so it will be.
