The Guess Who
No Time



Great version of this song, I love the guitar and how the end is ripe for hip-hop cherry picking:)

The Guess Who
These Eyes



Sometimes your love for another person is so strong that you have to wear a turtle neck, and beat it out on a piano. This is exactly how my man was feeling that day, shoot, even the cleft in his chin was sad. Peep how he takes it to chuch on em @ the very end. Enjoy:)

Peace/Love & SouledOut

Free Movement
I'VE FOUND SOMEONE OF MY OWN



Believe it or not, I found this one in my Miss Paulette's (read: grandma) record collection!

Grass Roots
Let's Live For Today



I'm not sure what I like more...the fact that Jimmy Durante is in this clip or the song. Peep how homie is so sincere with his scarf and fly ass hair cut (i'm sure i've rocked that one b4).  This just proves that hipsters didn't create the look, they just copped it!

DONOVAN
ATLANTIS



If you dare to make it to the 1:49th minute of this song you will be greatly rewarded.

As a kid, I had the opportunity to become versed in Greek mythology, so that might have something to do with me liking this song.  Eh, perhaps I like this song because I dig Scorsese movies (GoodFellas).  Or just maybe, I like this song because it's probably the tambourines finest hour.  Or maybe I am 100% sucka for a great melody and piped-piper lyrics ;/

However, I can certainly tell you one thing...I want this song included in the movie montage of mi vida!

The Kinks
Waterloo Sunset



Loverly song...wonderfully sad and beautiful. Is it too late for me to join the band Mr. Davie?

The Kinks
Tired of Waiting




Classic Kinks!!! +who hasn't shared this sentiment before (I know anyone who knows me has).

Iggy Pop
i'm bored



You can't tell me that, @ the very least, this guitar riff ain't funky! What can I say I loves me some Iggy.
Come on, with lyrics like: I'm bored/I'm the Chairman of the Board/I'm a lengthy monologue...

+ the man's got awkward twigtastic moves for days in his shiny suite (gotta love the pageantry...we all know Iggy's a diva).  This song is from the album, Raw Power, undoubtedly one of his finest records to be cut on vinyl.

The Stooges
1969

Silver Convention - Fly Robin Fly



High-larious video from the 70's German disco group Sliver Convention.  I love this song for its simplicity, the hook + easy refrain = Awesome.  Redman/Method Man fans will recognize this song as the key sample for their 1995 hit, How High.

19 yr. old Prince Rogers Nelson
First national TV ...



I abSOlutley love how awkward/coy/+ strange Prince is @ 19 years old, appearing on Philadelphia's American Bandstand w/Dick Clark.

David Ruffin
Walk Away from Love



For the record, I'm not even a fan of the quality of this American Bandstand video. But, since my lil brother insists on playing this song in continuous intervals...I am compelled to feature this song on the blog. It is quite groovy after all.

Enjoy c/o the lil sib.
