The Shirts [mm:ss]
\n"Teenage Crutch"
\nThe Shirts
\nCapitol Records SW-11791 1978 (US pressing)
\n(see below)
The Shirts [mm:ss]
\n"Reduced to a Whisper"
\nThe Shirts
\nHarvest 5C 062-06 717 1978 (Netherlands pressing)
\nThat's right, not one but 2 (two!) tracks from The Shirts' debut album. Normally, I am not one to buy 2 copies of the same album, but when I was in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, I came across the Netherlands pressing with a more stylized cover and couldn't resist. They were one of the original CBGB bands that saw more success in Europe. You can also spot lead singer Annie Golden in the film adaptation of Hair (Forman, 1979).
Philharmonic Symphony of New York, Dimitri Mitropoulos [mm:ss]
\n"Second Movement: Allegretto"
\nShostakovich: Symphony No. 5 Op. 47
\nColumbia Masterworks ML 4739 1962
\nComposed by the Soviet Russian Shostakovich in 1937, this recording dates to 1953.
Robyn Hitchcock [mm:ss]
\n"Socrates in Thin Air"
\nShufflemania!
\nTiny Ghost Records TINY GHOST 07 2022
\nGreat outing from Mr. Hitchcock from a couple of years ago. Joined here by Soft Boy cohort Kimberley Rew on guitar.
Los Campesinos! [mm:ss]
\n"5 Flucloxacillin"
\nSick Scenes
\nWichita WEBB500LP 2017
\nThe wonderful 6th album from these Cardiff folks. Self-financed, no less! There is a supercute video for this song done in the style of the BBC show Flog It!
Thompson Twins [mm:ss]
\n"We Are Detective"
\nSide Kicks
\nArista AL 6607 1983
\nSo much floppy hair. The trio's third single from their third album. A suitably 80s video was also made for this track.
Raspberries [mm:ss]
\n"Tonight"
\nSide 3
\nCapitol Records SMAS-11220 1973
\nSpeaking of third albums. This song was the first of three singles from the album and reached number 69 on the Hot 100.
Rush [mm:ss]
\n"New World Man"
\nSignals
\nMercury SRM-1-4063 1982
\nRush's only Top 40 single, oddly enough. From the last album produced by Terry Brown. Sure, I could have chosen "Subdivisions" but if you were like me and were a suburban early-teenage male when this album came out, it was pretty inescapable and hence not really necessary to revisit.
Boz Scaggs [mm:ss]
\n"Lido Shuffle"
\nSilk Degrees
\nColumbia PC 33920 1976
\nSpeaking of ubiquitous songs from my youth. With Mr. Scaggs himself on the Moog riffs.
Sqürl [mm:ss]
\n"John Ashbery Takes a Walk"
\nSilver Haze
\nSacred Bones Records SBR-316 2023
\nJim Jarmusch and Carter Logan, assisted here by Charlotte Gainsbourg in an homage to the poet John Ashbery. There's a nice moody video to accompany this song as well.
Klaus Nomi [mm:ss]
\n"Falling in Love Again"
\nSimple Man
\nRCA Victor PL 37702 1982
\nA contemporary update of the Marlene Dietrich classic from the iconic Klaus Nomi's second album.
Kris Kristofferson [mm:ss]
\n"The Pilgrim - Chapter 33"
\nThe Silver Tongued Devil and I
\nMonument Z 30679 1971
\nIf I were Donnie Fritts (which I can only aspire to), I would have definitely had my name legally changed to Funky Donnie Fritts.
Nine Inch Nails [mm:ss]
\n"Sin (Short)"
\nSin
\nTVT Records TVT2617-1 1990
\nWhy it seems like 33 1/3 years ago that this album was released.
Frank Sinatra [mm:ss]
\n"When Somebody Loves You"
\nSinatra '65
\nReprise RS-6167 1965
\nThat is some bizarre stereo separation.
Frank Sinatra [mm:ss]
\n"Witchcraft"
\nSinatra's Sinatra
\nReprise Records R9-1010 1963
\nSome of Frank's big hits, recompiled here for his own label.
Dwight Twilley Band [mm:ss]
\n"I'm on Fire"
\nSincerely
\nShelter Records SRL-52001 1976
\nSome primo power pop kicking off Dwight Twilley Band's debut outing on the already-doomed at the time Shelter Records.

\nGetting very aloha with Hank's classic.
Glen Campbell [11:06]
\n"Lonesome Jailhouse Blues"
\nA Satisfied Mind
\nPickwick SPC-3134 1971
\nA repackaging of the Glen's Capitol Records 1966 album Big Bluegrass Special.
Bee Gees [14:28]
\n"Jive Talkin'"
\nSaturday Night Fever (The Original Movie Sound Track)
\nRSO RS-2-4001 1977
\nSometimes you just have to go with the hit. Oh wait, they're all hits.
The Hot Dogs [18:13]
\n"Feel Real Fine"
\nSay What You Mean
\nArdent Records ADS-2805 1973
\nA great little gem of a Big Star adjacent album. Digging this track by Terry Manning.
Tom Jones [21:12]
\n"Come to Me"
\nSay You'll Stay Until Tomorrow
\nEpic PE 34468 1977
\nThat's right, the theme song from The Pink Panther Strikes Again (Edwards, 1976). You know, the one with the castle in Bavaria? My brothers and I went with my mother to see this one in the theaters instead of staying home and watching Super Bowl XI (Raiders v Vikings).
Daniel Ocko [24:07]
\n"The Guitar Player"
\nGreat Ghost Stories
\nTroll Records 50-002 1973
\nOops... right genre, wrong cover. The record is Great Ghost Stories but the sleeve is Scary Spooky Stories.

\nA pretty solid demo from a compilation full of Who demos.
Scott Walker [38:34]
\n"Amsterdam"
\nScott (Aloner)
\nSmash Records SRS 67099 1967
\nAlright, so I'm cheating a little on this one too. The US release of Walker's first album, Scott, was titled Aloner. But I didn't have this album when we were running through Albums that begin with the letter A as in Alpha. It's really difficult to pick just one song to play here. My instinct wanted to go with "The Lady Came from Baltimore" but the atmosphere of his cover of Brel's "Amsterdam" is so good.
Siouxsie & the Banshees [43:21]
\n"Mirage"
\nThe Scream
\nPolydor POLD 5009 1978
\nThe amazing debut album from Siouxsie and the Banshees. A pretty remarkable effort front to back. The version of "Mirage" that appears on this album gains a little polish but still retains the energy of the Peel Session version the year before.
Judas Priest [46:11]
\n"The Hellion/Electric Eye"
\nScreaming for Vengeance
\nColumbia FC 38160 1982
\nOne of the greatest 1-2 punches in album opening history. You know exactly what you are in store for. Fourteen year-old me was completely enthralled with the sound of this album.
Hap Palmer [50:31]
\n"Sweetwater Springs"
\nSea Gulls... Music for Rest and Relaxation

\nWho doesn't love a good cover of "The 'In' Crowd"? This one comes from The Mamas and The Papas debut album.
Suzi Quatro [mm:ss]
\n"Breakdown"
\nIf You Knew Suzi...
\nRSO RS-1-3044 1979
\nWho doesn't love a good cover of "Breakdown"? This one is from Suzi's fifth studio album. If you haven't seen her documentary Suzi Q, you should check it out.

\n"Primitive Painters"
\nIgnite the Seven Cannons and Set Sail for the Sun
\nCherry Red BRED 65 1985
\nWhy yes, that is Elizabeth Fraser on backing vox. And yes, that is some Robin Guthrie production going on there. But no, it's not the Cocteau Twins. Why yes, it is the Deebank brothers. Actually, to my ears it sounds a bit like the Feelies. But who am I to say. Feelies? Felt? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

\nThe Immaculate Collection
\nSire W1-26440 1990

Yellow Eyes [mm:ss]
\n"Jubilat"
\nImmersion Trench Reverie
\nGilead Media RELIC93 2017
\nSome excellent New York-based black metal. Evidently this test pressing is one of 105 that were pressed for the band by Gilead Media for them to sell on their Euro tour, but the records were held up in customs and eventually returned to Gilead.

\n"Aimez-Vous Cha Cha"
\nGoodbye Again
\nUnited Artists UAL 4091 1961
\nI'll admit this was a new one by me, but evidently a well-received film by Anatole Litvak (Sorry, Wrong Number) featuring Yves Montand, Ingrid Bergman, and Anthony Perkins. I'll have to check it out.

\nOne of the many classics from this canonical lo-fi album on beautiful translucent blue vinyl. If you're the sort that digs the 33 1/3 book series, there is an excellent one on this album.
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra [03:39]
\n"Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67: Scherzo-Allegro/Allegro; Presto"
\nBeethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67/Egmont Overture Op. 84/Coriolan Overture, Op. 62/Overture "Leonore" No. 3, Op. 7a
\nMercury MG 50017 1953
\nWell, the cover says Beethoven: Eroica Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major, but instead, it's a completely different Beethoven piece by a different orchestra, on a different label. Ah well. Can't argue with free.
Otto Klemperer conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra [12:52]
\n"Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93: II. Allegretto Scherzando"
\nSymphony No. 1 & No. 8
\nAngel Records 35657 1958
\nSupposedly this is a parody of a metronome. Gotta love musical jokes. And yes, Otto Klemperer is the father of beloved actor Werner Klemperer.
Bob Dylan/The Band [18:38]
\n"All Along the Watchtower"
\nBefore the Flood
\nAsylum Records AB-201 1974
\nSome interesting items on this double live album. Some less interesting and chaotic things. All Along the Watchtower seems to be a solid symbiosis between Bob and the Band.
The Rolling Stones [22:01]
\n"Stray Cat Blues"
\nBeggars Banquet
\nLondon Records PS 539
\nA rockin blues number from Jagger and Richards, supposedly inspired by VU's Heroin. It also features Brian Jones on mellotron. The beginning of the end for Mr. Jones.
Cannonball Adderley [26:39]
\n"Spectacular"
\nBeginnings
\nMercury EMS-2-404 1976
\nRecorded February 6, 1975, with Nat Adderley on cornet, Junior Mance on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums.

\nBela Bartók Streichquartette Nr. 5 (1934) Nr. 6. (1939)
\nBarenreiter Musicaphon BM 30 L 1803
\nThis selection used to belong to the Djerassi Foundation in Woodside CA. I wonder which artist liberated this from their collection.
Stevie Nicks [47:23]
\n"Edge of Seventeen"
\nBella Donna
\nModern Records MR 38-139 1981
\nQuadruple platinum from everyone's favorite witchy woman, on the record label that Stevie co-founded with Danny Goldberg and Paul Fishkin.
Nadja [52:46]
\n"Skin Like Sand"
\nBelles Bêtes
\nBeta-lactam Ring Records 2009
\nThe first of many tracks you will be hearing from the transcendent duo known as Nadja. This track is a reinterpretation of a solo project by member Aidan Baker entitled Songs of Flowers & Skin.
Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy

\n"Downtown"
\nThe B-52's

Lunachicks [10:35]
\n"Cookie Core"
\nBabysitters on Acid
\nBlast First BFFP 52 1990
\nI mean really, who doesn't love cookies? I always loved seeing them live back in my NYC days. One of the best was when they played with L7 at CBGBs shortly after my 22nd birthday.
Camarata conducting the Kingsway Symphony Orchestra and Chorus [13:56]
\n"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"
\nBach Spectacular
\nLondon Records SPC 21078 1972

\nBallads
\nImpulse! A-32 1963 (1974 reissue)
\nA classic from the American songbook, written for an Abbott and Costello flick "Keep Em Flying" from 1941. Of course, it took Miles Davis to make it a jazz standard, and Coltrane and co to take it to the next level.
The Three O'Clock [52:19]
\n"Sorry"
\nBaroque Hoedown
\nFrontier FLP 1010 1982
\nFrom the frontlines of the Paisley Underground, we'll go with The Three O'Clock's cover of The Easy Beats "Sorry", because of course Angus and Malcolm Young's older brother George co-wrote "Sorry". How's that for a callback.
The Munich Bach-Orchestra [54:41]
\n"Concerto for Two Harpsichords and Orchestra in C-Minor"
\nMusic from the soundtrack of Barry Lyndon
\nWarner Bros. K56189 1975

\nA mighty fine cover of Dwight Yoakam from these Louisville Gal on the great Thrill Jockey label. The b-side is their bandmate David Wayne Gay Fun fact: Did you know there is a K-Tel compilation called "Alt.Country Exposed Roots". It's true. Do you remember Usenet? I remember Usenet.

\nIf you want a glimpse into the world of conflict that is The Police, Mssr le Sting wrote this song on a Casio and wanted to keep it entirely synth based but eventually let Andy Summers play guitar along with the synth. Compromise! And the b-side is, well, very jamtastic.

\nImperial Records 66259 1967
\nThat is one cool spooky groove. Fine cover versions can also be heard by Dusty Springfield, Jazz Butcher, and Daniel Ash. The b-side "Poor People" is a bit more sunshine-y, though in my mind pales in comparison of Alan Price's completely unrelated song "Poor People". And that's... my two-cents.
