Just One More Late Night Radio Playlist ..... Yeah Right!

Really. really late, Thursday night, or if you prefer, really, really early Friday morning OPB Radio playlist. Because that's always been the best hours to listen to the radio. Sometimes you wish that your local record store was open at 3:00am. It's just too bad (and sad) that an aging wannabe hipster person eventually needs to get some sleep ....

• The Builders and The Butchers - Black Dresses .... A local band!! Heard of them and I have one of their records. (I think).
• Loch Lomond - Made of Ink
• Run On Sentence - Run To You .... Ever wonder where new bands get their names? I do. Was there just a instant where they all looked at each other and said: "That's it!!" Heck for all I know this band may have been around for fifteen years.
• Young Fathers - 27 ..... I was thinking that this was The Shins for the first sixty seconds of the song. Then I glanced at the online playlist.
• Animal Collective - Derek
• The Ponys - Deathbed
• Sufjan Stevens - Come On Feel the Illinoise .... I prefer him with his banjo. There's no detectable banjo on this one.
• Murder By Death - I Shot An Arrow
• Asgeir - Unbound .... It's like they set the drum machine and keyboards to make various five to ten second segments of random combinations of notes and sounds and then stirred it all up with a kitchen counter mixer and added the vocals. Different but interesting.
• Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears - Sexual Tension

Late Night Indie Radio Playlist

Late Sunday night, OPB Radio playlist. Remembering late evenings long ago, listening to 1960's radio, while everyone else slept. This could be a short playlist because these days, I just can't hang in there at odd hours like I could in the 60's. ....

• Midlake - Head Home
• Madness - That Close
• Goldfrapp - Anymore .... This sure isn't the music of my youth. But for tonight anyway, that's perfectly OK.
• The Ghost Ease - Gemini Rise
• Say Hi - Elouise .... A band that I have in my collection!! Though not this song. A different sound. Is it possible that there's two groups named Say Hi?
• BrakesBrakesBrakes - Hey Hey .... The 'British Invasion' band.
• Cloud Nothings - Internal World .... "I'm not the one who's always right."
• Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks - Baltimore .... The title of their album, Real Emotional Trash, cause for a chuckle.
• Frightened Rabbit - Good Arms vs. Bad Arms

Zevon Live Again!!

Found in the record store filed under used vinyl recent arrivals. The question must be asked: Who would part with a Zevon recording?

I've been hooked since hearing those first piano notes of Frank and Jesse James as he opened a show for Jackson Browne in 1976. Unknown to me at the time, I went out the very next day and bought his self titled album. This bootleg recording of a radio broadcast brings back memories of that night forty years ago. For a nostalgic Zevon fan, very bittersweet since those days of youth and Warren Zevon are long gone. Though still wanting to keep the music alive!!
