Sorry...I had a somewhat busy weekend, and I slept in both days. I didn't feel like doing anything! Here's a song I played for my friends Brian & Shane on the way down to the Built to Spill show. It's called "Pistol Packin' Papa" by Jimmie Rodgers. It's a country song from 1930. It's wonderful.

I discovered this band on Left of Center (Sirius channel 26) as well. This song randomly came on my iPod today at work, and I thought it was a perfect song to post. "Broken Bones" by Howling Bells:

I actually don't even like this band...except this song, obviously. It features guest vocals by Tegan Quin (of Tegan & Sara)...whom I also don't like! Anyway...it's called "Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart" by Against Me! The truth is, if you don't at least like the chorus of this song, you're probably weird.

I just realized I missed yesterday too. Here's some more country-rock. Even better country-rock. LEGENDARY country-rock! "You're Still On My Mind" by The Byrds. This is after David Crosby was booted from the band and Gram Parsons replaced him. This entire album ("Sweetheart of the Rodeo") is fucking flawless. I hope you like it:

It's kind of silly for me to post this song, considering I don't smoke weed...but oh well. This is "(Down to) Seeds & Stems (Again)" by Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen. They were often called one of the first "country-rock" bands to ever exist. This song is funny, but somewhat sad...at the same time. Weird!

Since I missed yesterday, I'll post an extra song. This is a band I discovered on the "Blog Radio" show on Left of Center (Sirius channel 26). I don't know much about them other than they are Canadian. The vocalist reminds me of Nick Cave a little bit. Maybe even a little Jim Morrison-ish? Anyway...here it is. "Golden Son" by Crystal Moustache!

The best song the Butthole Surfers ever recorded. Here it is..."Suicide". Everybody remembers "Pepper", but this band was awesome in the early to mid-eighties. Craziest dudes...weirdest music. This one is kind of straight-up. The guitar tone rules so much. Love it!
