Gee Baby- Joe & Ann
Joe and Ann are Joe Joseph and Cynthia Coleman...or are they? Rumour has it that what few southern sides there are of these two, some might just be Joe & Ann in name only. A great little record, whoever they are.
If I Don't Have You- NRBQ
As our friend Carl poimted out in the chat box, "one of the most perfect songs ever written." It certainly is one of the Q's poppiest.
Sad Girl- Supergrass
I came to Supergrass many years after their demise, and thanks to my trusty iPod, the band is a gift that keeps on giving.
Sugar Coated Love- Barbara Lynn
I would love to see Barbara Lynn get into the RNRHOF while she is still alive, kickin' and playing that damn lefty Strat. A hard sell, for sure, but man I love her records.
Strange Groove- World Party
A strange groove indeed from Karl Wallinger, the man who has been promising a new World Party album for what now feels like longer than the band has existed. This track works anywhere.
Trouble- Foxy
Don't know much about Foxy. Two singles and this is one of them. Found it years ago on a British "Lost Funk" CD.
Five Guys Named Moe- Joe Jackson
Hadn't heard JJ's "Jumpin' Jive" in ages. Still kicks ass.

World Party should of been huge. Got to see them in a small club sparsely attended a few years back. It was a 3 guys on stage but they played multitude of instruments and did a good job of playing the hits.
Funny you included World Party and referenced that he's going to release new music (eventually). Was just saying that to my wife earlier today as a track from Goodbye Jumbo popped up on my iPod shuffle this morning
Supergrass have reformed and are touring next spring. I believe they's playing a couple of shows in NY.
Nice one. Loved Supergrass when "Caught By the Fuzz" first roared out of the radio back in '93. Gaz was a suitably aggressive little protagonist & the aggressive brevity of most of the tunes on that first album kicked the proverbial arse. Many thanks for allowing us to unzip. Cheers!
Thx Honest Ed. Supergrass had a terrific run of albums and I'd love to see them again w something to prove!
Whoa! Strange Groove by World Party is one of the cooler tunes I've heard recently. I bought their mega-box-set of a few years ago, and don't believe this was on there... how have I missed this thru the years, as a World Party fan?
