Like Leon Redbone unique.

One of my favorites and one of the songs on the playlist in my head.

Their whole album is filled with great music.

I remember hearing it just as I drove up to my family’s home on Christmas Eve 1999. I was living in NYC and had flown in to California, driving a rental car and listened to the CD on the way. I think it was the last song and it ended right before I went into the house. 😊

Chris Whitley (from Living with the Law)

...because it's old
and so am I...


Older than despicable dipshit Don...

He said he knows every word to every song on that album and has been spinning it since it came out in the early 90's, and that's one of his very favorites on it

…and now we’re listening to it

and I am transported to my beloved peaks...

Corny but twue lol, best sound quality video I could find.

From Hedwig and the Angry Itch

When Stephen Trask wasn’t even *nominated*, that’s when I was officially done with Grammys, over and OUT

“Wig In A Box”, “Wicked Little Town”, “Sugar Daddy”, “Tear Me Down”, “Origin of Love” - perfect songs, all

And dammit, a great GREAT movie that never gets talked about, you know? I do not comprehend the lack of adoration for this film, like, on an international/intergalactic level!! w e i r d

Thanks for your post, g70!!

Yeah, Leg! I'm happy someone else shows some love for Miss Hedwig!
The musical is definitely a cult hit, so not surprising the mainstream does not award it. In 2000, the original Off-Broadway cast was nominated for Best Musical Theatre Album, and the Broadway revival was nominated in 2015.
The blu-ray of the movie has some cut footage of Yitzhak that is really fun. See it if you can!

Everyone will laugh at me.

I posted a musical theater song, you can post yours!

Here's 3 that immediately came to mind: what they all have in common are the super cool, extra clean guitar soubds.

It's from the Beat album. It was the period with Adrian Belew & Tony Levin.
I'm going to see Belew, Levin, Vai, & Carey who are going to play the songs from these 3 albums.
They're doing this tour with the complete blessing of Fripp & Bruford who just can't tour anymore.
I've got VIP tickets, too.
Beautiful small venue. (1,850 seats). Have to wait until early November, though.

and in fact every song on that album.

None Of My Jelly Roll

This whole album.

Lost this song for fifty years, was sooooo happy to hear it again in 2022 - like comin HOME!

performed by Eugene Ormandy and Philadelphia Orchestra.

And I decided that it was not a great idea to do so.


Anyway, hopefully I'll make a better decision tomorrow morning. 🌅🤪


We shall see.

And how interesting that it is, allegedly, Bill Clinton's favorite song.

yeah, that's the name of it, by Real Estate.

I just love how it kinda has just an escapist kinda groove. I think I heard it when watching Weeds a few years ago, was like, 'what is that?!' and thankfully Shazam came to the rescue. Hope you all like it:

Yeah, it's sad. And even more so if you know a little history. But it's so gosh darned beautiful.

By Shawn Phillips


Let's Dance
Bowie

It's older than I am, but a gorgeous song.

The sincereity and poignancy can't be beat. Lovely. Thank you.

I can't remember where or when I first heard it, but there's something about the Way Huston talks the song that is very appealing. The lyrics are by Maxwell Anderson and the music Kurt Weill for a 1938 musical "Knickerbocker Holiday".

By the Chambers Brothers. The live album version.

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley

I just heard it on the radio a couple of hours ago. Great song.

nerve.


I'm happy that I'm not alone in liking it!
