Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On (1957)

The Beatles - "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Anthology Version)

I'm on a huge Beatles kick right now...directly attributed to Greg Wilson introducing me to "The Longest Cocktail Party" and "How I Met the Walrus".

"Tomorrow Never Knows" has always been a favorite of mine, and here's a version that differs from the one on "Revolver":



And here's a short snippet that features Paul McCartney and George Martin talking about the making of the track:

Arrested Development - Mr. Wendal

Remember this one?

Sian & Funk D'Void - The Puppet Who Can See His Own Strings

Shakespear's Sister - Black Sky (Dub Extravaganza Part 2)

Released in 1992, Darren Emerson knew what was up:

Rhythm Controll - My House (Long Version)

Where Mr. Fingers lifted the accapella for "Can You Feel It?":

Unknown Artist - Feels So Good (Special Disco Version) - Moxie Records

Another day, another Moxie record. This one's a re-work of the super classic Donald Byrd - Love Has Come Around...

Fred Wesley - House Party

Craig Smith & The Revenge : The Soul Part II (Original)

Craig Smith & The Revenge : The Soul Part II (Original) by The Revenge

Unknown Artist - Transfigured and Tormented

Another hot release from Moxie Records, this one's a re-edit of Cerrone's "Strip-Tease":

Operation Ivy - Bad Town

They call it a scene I call it disaster
Down here the kids grow up faster
Scared they're scared to the bone
Like a pack of wolves they don't run alone
One on one they won't look you in the eye
But when the pack's together there's a battle cry
I saw it fifteen on one
When the crowd dispersed the kid was done

[Chorus:]
No (no more)
No (bad town)
No more bad town

Yeah down there you gotta have a label
Just like a cattle in a stable
Knee jerk reaction I call it violence
Why speak out when you could be silenced
Down there, out on the dance floor
Too much violence I don't want more
Down there, out on the street
I can see the air I can see the heat

[Chorus]

Iggy Pop - Nightclubbing (Baby Doc Remix)

Off of the movie soundtrack compilation Trainspotting #2 (one of my favorite movies with an amazing soundtrack), I've always enjoyed this down-tempo interpretation of the classic Iggy Pop jam "Nightclubbing":

Conan Announces Name Of New TBS Show!

Dos Equis by Kaws

So, who's got my case of Dos Equis Kaws for me?? I'll trade you 3 cases of night train for 1 of these jammies.

The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Probably after having looked up a couple of Beatles-related titles this morning and reading up on Apple Corps., a song would inevitable pop into my head. That song happened to be Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da...an undeniably catchy, pop-reggae-influenced tune. Whistle along...



Desmond has his barrow in the market place...
Molly is the singer in a band...
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store...
Buys a twenty carat golden ring...
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

Happy ever after in the market place...
Desmond lets the children lend a hand...
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face...
And in the evening she still sings it with the band...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,

And in the evening she's a singer with the band...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.


And if you want some fun...take Ob-la-di-bla-da (Thank you)

Agent 001 - Bubblebath (16B Remix)

16B aka Omid Nourizadeh (one of my favorite producers) remixes an Agent 001 jam(another one of my favorite producers), who had a string of monster hits during a brief two-year period in the mid-00's. If you ever see Eli "Wilk da Silk" Wilkie on the bill for a night at some club, don't miss out. Dude always delivers. Actually, for that matter, don't miss out on Steve Porter and Omid 16B as well.

GusGus - Purple

Played randomly on my iriver this morning...
