Beck “Go It Alone”

Things have gotten a bit crazy today so it’ll be a short one. Here’s “Go it Alone” by the multi-instrumentalist, weirdo, hip hop/folk blending mastermind...Beck. This song comes from, in my opinion, one of his most underrated albums, “Guero”.

Jr. Walker & the All Stars "Shotgun"

Sometimes the old jams just can't be beat. When they come on I just can't help but dance along and be in a good mood. This one from Jr. Walker and the All Stars is one of my favorites. I first heard this song in the Circa Shoes skate video, " It's Time ".  It was Adrien Lopez's song for his part. I was immediately stoked on the song and had to get it however I could. 10 years later and it still remains on playlists that I create. In fact, in that same video is a song by Sam and Dave called "Hold On" in Windsor James' part ; another great old classic jam.  From that loud shotgun sound (which is supposedly an amp being kicked) and the moment that dirty saxophone hits you know it's a groover. "Shotgun" is actually a dance and it's hard not to be compelled to dance to this thing.

Lee Michaels "Heighty Hi"

Sometimes we hear the best music when we least expect it. Do you ever do that? Start searching for "new music" because your sick of all the stuff you've been listening to lately? I still find myself sometimes cruising through websites, videos, top album lists, etc. because I feel like I've worn out all of the music I've been frequenting. And it's funny. Because nine times out of ten...I don't normally come up with anything. At least anything that piques my interest enough to delve further into. About a month-or-two ago I was at Mill's Record Company; this killer record store in the midtown area of Kansas City, MO. I was perusing through the latest used records that had come in and was eventually going to pick up a Comets on Fire record. From the moment I walked in I couldn't help but dig what was being played throughout the store. So I did what any normal millennial with a smart phone would do...act like I was trying to remember certain rec...

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks "Baby C'mon"

I'm going to try and make these posts a little bit shorter from here on out. I can get carried away. Have you ever heard a song somewhere and wondered what it was or who it was by? Maybe you were in a store or a watching a movie and a song pops up that you started diggin'. You keep singing it or humming it in your head until you realize, "Damn, I need to know what this is!" But you never found out... This happened to me with one song in particular. I remember back when I was maybe 16 or 17 there was an "indie music" channel on Sirius Radio called "Left of Center". This song popped on and I was really diggin' the guitar riff in it. For whatever reason I didn't look in time to see what song it was. The only thing from the song that I could remember was this dude singing, "Baby C'mon!" I kept listening day-after-day and keeping my ears (and eyes) peeled for this song. But I never heard it played again. I was bummed. I rem...
