I love how mellow AND punked out Modest Mouse makes me. I chose them for rock and roll Tuesday because they're my favorite, if you want to hear why listen, esecially when the break down starts somewhere around 3:00.
This is Make Everyone Happy/Mechanical Birds off This Is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About.

Hell in a Bucket. Grateful Dead.
It's just one of those times that wont come again.
Like 1995 when Jerry died, and the weekend before it happened our downstairs apartment with the baby pool on the front step was open-doored and windowed, and we went back and forth between our place and the girls next door. The girls next door had the Dead going for 48 hours straight, Jerry died days from that. It was August, we all called ourselves the ladies of 6th street, there were vigils for Jerry all over the boards and up three streets where the old squatter house used to be. I still have the ring left from the colorful mushroom-shaped candle I burned.
Here is Hell in a Bucket--the clip is soooo cheesy!! But worth it:
It's the song that was just starting when I got in the car yesterday to leave Schank and Jotto at MR DUCKS on Talbot Street. Whaaaattt no way I laughed to myself when I heard the first few bars of the live version, and then, hellll yeaaa, bc really. High sun going down on the bay, south wind and going ASAP to see my grls after leaving the cute boy uptown, and of course each and every one of the grls have cute summer boy tales, too~
...Least I'm enjoyin the ride...

Romeo and Juliet & Pale Blue Eyes.
The serendipity in my life the past several months is absoloutely undeniable. It makes me feel so impassioned and alive!
On that note, I've heard this first song no less than four times this week. It's so darn pretty. Off Dire Straits "Making Movies".
This second song is Velvet Underground's Pale Blue Eyes, off their self-named album. I was humming it all morning on the beach and then got home today and it played on Pandora, right after Dire Straights....

Rock and Roll Tuesday. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Born on the Bayou.
Not sure if it's Fogerty's signature concrete-scrapey voice or the deep way I always need to move my hips to the incessant rhythm in this song, maybe it's the thick Maryland heat or tomorrow's full moon. But hot damn this song is dirty as it gets. And I'm gonna go ahead and say--wordlessly dirty might be my prime requirement--think ACDC here, shaking them all night long--of good, solid rock and roll.

Me'shell Ndegeocello & The Funk Brothers. You Really Got a Hold on Me.
So embedding the song I want to post about today is disabled by youtube, which made me investigate a little.
First, the song is Me'shell Ndegeocello's version of You Really Got a Hold on Me, which as far back as I can remember first ever hearing it when I was 11 or so has been one of my favorite ever love songs. It came on my contempo-influenced soul station on Pandora today. It's just so good, the contained passion of it. It's soo precise. Aghghhg god.
In the meantime what I discovered was a documentary about the band she is performing with, The Funk Brothers, which is what the clip is from, Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Now added to my summer queue.
