You can thank Last Chance IPA for this, hey, it’s for a good cause. They donate some of the profits to animal rescue. Not a bad beer, but glad I also got some of my latest favorite, Saga.

It’s no secret to most of my friends that I thought the 90’s for the most part, sucked for music. Last Splash, however, is a shinning gem in my ears to this day. The 20th Anniversary edition contains the same album, un-remastered (thank god, it is perfect as it is) but with so much bonus candy, I may need musinsulin. Here’s a little bonus track with J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, hence the addition to the title. This was originally a bonus track on the Divine Hammer single. Lots of demos/live versions on this 20th edition. Check it out.

Live and Let Die

This is an alternate take/version of McCartney’s contribution to the James Bond library of music. I’m not sure if this is the version from the One Hand Clapping documentary, or just some obscure outtake. It is from a CD I have, titled, Paul McCartney “Unsurpassed Masters” with very interesting demos and such.

“What does it matter to ya? When you’ve got a job to do, you’ve got to do it well.” What I tell my family and friends when they tell me I’m too much of a perfectionist.

Procol Harum- A Whiter Shade Of Pale

I once read something about John Lennon playing this song to someone in the back of a Limo or something like that. How impressed he was with the song/organ arrangement, how it’s classical-like, something like that… I’ve read too much, literally and into things. And this is a beautiful song.

I’m dating myself.

“where would you like to go, Juan” 

“oh, I don’t know, some high end French restaurant with fine cheeses and buttered lobster”

But seriously, I saw this band when this album came out, right before Brass In Pocket became a big hit. It was at a 1500 seater, Historic Theater in downtown Miami, about 200 people were there. They played as if the house was full. Lucky moi.

I loved this album since it came out. Nice vibes all around.

Think Twice (X Version)
Lavern Baker & Jackie Wilson

Artist: Lavern Baker & Jackie Wilson
Track: Think Twice
Album: 45 rpm?
Year: 1966

The Theme Is: Expletives

I love Lavern Baker, as well as Sugar Pie Desanto for their gutsy vocals and R&B roots.  So, yes, back in 1966 this song was recorded, not played on the air, except for the version with the clean lyrics. This is as raunchy as anything by any fringe artist today. Listen to it through and through, this is 1966!!!

Fuck You
Lily Allen

Artist: Lily Allen
Track: Fuck You
Album: CD Single (yes you heard right)
Year: 2009

The Theme Is: Expletives

I dedicate this song to the stupid fuck (whom I’ve since unfollowed and blocked) who posted some Hitler glorifying post recently. Grow up and educate yourself!

Hot Burrito #1
Belly

Reblogged from bonus-tunes

Tanya Donelly with her group, Belly, did this beautiful cover of The Flying Burrito Brothers song as a bonus track on one of her CD singles. I’ve always loved her music probably more so than the average person. Her melodic sense and vocal tone has always appealed to me. The original Flying Burrito Brothers version of this song always sounded so so so sad to my ears. On this cover, the lush production, guitar work, and especially her vocal track really sweetens up this beautiful love song. Dare I say, I prefer this version to the original.

For those of you not familiar with her, she and her step-sister  Kristin Hersh are the founding members of Throwing Muses.

I’m your toy
I’m your old boy
But I don’t want no one
But you to love me
No, I wouldn’t lie
You know I’m not that kind of guy
