Sunday Evening Playlist

There's no telling where this may lead. Another late night playlist of things I'm hearing, enabled by having to be no where except where I want to be, in the morning .... 

  • Kurt Vile - Like Exploding Stones .... New one to my ears. Over seven minutes of far out and groovy, finger tapping melody.
  • Todd Rundgren - I Saw the Light .... Seemed like a natural follow-up or pre-cursor to Kurt Vile.
Out of town yesterday, on a afternoon vinyl hunting excursion and I had a record in my hand, some late 1960's, psychedelic rock album .... Kind of a spendy title with a cool cover photo, which I put back in the bins, cleverly hiding it among titles from another genre and it dawns on me now that someone else will quickly stumble upon my hiding place, which I likely won't recall shall I return, but I wanted to do a little research prior to purchasing, but can't recall the band or the title. That's how I apparently roll at 66 ....and one day. 
  • John Doe - The Golden State .... I picked up the album this is on at a public library used book sale several years ago for a dollar, came home and put it in the cd player and ran off to do something else without hitting play. A few weeks later, I was listening to whatever was in line before this on the cd changer, the album concluded and this album and song started. I was like: "What the hell is this?" (In a good way.)
  • Dave Alvin - Nine Volt Heart .... "Plastic silver nine volt heart, you click it on and let the music start."
  • Joseph Arthur - Mercedes .... 1996 I think. It was a Saturday night, I'm sure of. I put on the headphones at a Borders Books listening station with no idea what I was about to hear. 
  • Kelly Joe Phelps - Crow's Nest .... I seem to return to this song every month.
  • Mimicking Birds - Burning Stars
  • The Jayhawks - Comeback Kids .... I've sung along enough times at home that they may as well have had me in the studio helping with backing vocals. 
  • The Choir - In Loves Shadow .... From a youtube video that popped up on my homepage one day. A compilation of "Garage Rock" from the 1960's. Mostly stuff I've never heard before.
  • Danny and the Counts - Ode to Wind .... From the same 60's Garage Rock compilation, mentioned above. A great discovery!! If I came across either of these on 45's vinyl, I'd snap them up in an instant. Might not even check the price.

It would be kinda funny, if it wasn't sad in my eyes but for the records that I'm interested in, the used bookstore is turning out t...
