  • Witch Doctor - David Seville

    Posted on Sunday November 8th, 2009 at 16:18 in misc.

    Sometimes, how I got to a song makes as good a story as why I like the song in question. In today's case, I took my youngest to the clinic because of an earache (H1Nothing, thank you very much, just your basic ear infection). I failed to find a son...

  • Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan

    Posted on Saturday November 7th, 2009 at 19:19 in Rock

    I have been debating what song to share with you all, today, but it finally dawned on me that what you need is to know the story of the Saturday Night Fish Fry.For those of you unfamiliar with the rock-and-roll pioneer, Louis Jordan, one of the inven...

  • Around the Bend - The Asteriods Galaxy Tour

    Posted on Friday November 6th, 2009 at 11:59 in Alternative

    I thought I'd posted this one long ago, but a quick search of The Not-Pop Jukebox brought me no joy. I'm frankly surprised, because I've been enjoying Around the Bend for months, now. It's a bouncy, slinky, quirky little tune, sung by Mette Lindber...

    I'd like to thank CRPitt for introducing me to the Golden Silvers several months ago. While some of the songs on "True Romance" languish a bit more mellow than I'm wont to enjoy, you can find enough bouncy, synth-heavy, well-crafted songs to make th...

  • Watermelon Man - Various Artists

    Posted on Wednesday November 4th, 2009 at 12:42 in jazz, Versions

    I think it's about time for a groovy little jazz standard. Today, let's enjoy Watermelon Man, from such diverse sources as Sly and the Family Stone, Woody Herman, Herbie Hancock, and Dave Benoit. Certainly, such a list would be incomplete without a...

  • Mash Me Amadeus - DJ Schmolli

    Posted on Sunday November 1st, 2009 at 09:28 in free download, mash-up

    While reading the Mashuptown interview with DJ Schmolli and I realized both that it's been far too long since I shared a mash-up with you folks and that I've never posted my admiration for his Falco-based tribute album, Falco re:loaded, which you can...

I wish I'd visited yesterday before we went out for the day. I'd been singing 'Saturday in the park' and was shushed. Your log makes me want to sing it all over again and proudly.
