Taught By Experts- Paul Kelly
(Another new Paul Kelly record means another great Paul Kelly record. Here's a fave from "Fever Longing Still.")

Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand (Mirasound Version)- The Who
(This one features Al Kooper on organ.)

To My Own Devices- Soul Asylum
(I still haven't checked out the new Soul Asylum album "Slowly But Shirley." Have you? Is it worth it? Is it as good as "Let Your Dim Light Shine?" 30 years later and I still play "Dim Light" regularly. Here's one from that.)

Heard It On The X- ZZ Top
(Heard it on the iPod. Sounded great while riding the subway.)

Final Peace- Jeff Beck
(This was the first song that my brain went to after waking up to the horrible news on Wednesday. It's a beautiful piece of music that usually has a calming effect over me. It didn't work this time, but that's not Jeff Beck's fault.)

Cities In Dust- Siouxsie & The Banshees
(A favorite, thanks to that opening drum fill.)

Walkin' - Paul Weller

Baby, don't be slow
The world ain't gonna go
'Til we're out walkin'
Leave all the baggage at the door
You won't need it anymore
'Cause we're out walkin'

Take that hate
And turn the world around
Get some faith
And plant it in the ground
The flags don't cut it anymore
The same old lines we've heard before

Leave your baggage at the door
You won't need it anymore
We're out walkin'
It takes nothing to be kind
It's just another state of mind
You ain't used to

Take that hate
Turn the world around
Get some faith
And plant it in the ground
The flags don't cut it anymore
The same old lines we've heard before

So, baby, don't be slow
The world ain't gonna go
'Til we're out walkin'
(Walkin')
