Walk A Thin Line- Fleetwood Mac
I was listening to the New Pornographers and recalled their version of this song, which was performed live for KCRW. I wanted to post that as a SOTD but couldn't find it, so I went with the original.
Don't Wait Up For Me- The Beat
My friend caught Paul Collins' Beat live last week and loved it. I played the album and loved it. This is a personal fave.
Helpless- ELO
iPod shuffle strikes again. I had no idea what I was listening to. This is an outtake from the "Flashback" boxed set.
Flower King Of Flies- The Nice
I picked up a Nice album from 1987 that was complied by Davy O'List under a pseudonym in an attempt to stick it to Keith Emerson. Great set, as it focuses on the shorter psychedelic songs, of which this is one.
Blang Dong- Dr. Feelgood & The Interns
It's a song called "Blang Dong!" Incidentally, this is the band that cut the original "Mr. Moonlight" which The Fab Four covered on "Beatles For Sale."
Ashes By Now- Rodney Crowell
Felt like hearing it.
God Bless The Girl- David Bowie
A leftover from "The Next Day." Might be my favorite overall and it kills me that it does not appear on the vinyl.

Heh. The awesomest thing about my 120GB Zune when I got it and loaded it up in 2009 was that stuff would pop up continually that I'd forgotten I had. (Never mind that actually putting it onto the device was an act of volition.)
The Beat should have done slightly better in the world than they did. At least half of that first record made it onto my player, and about half of their second one did also. Which didn't happen with too many of those acts. The Romantics were an exception. I actually prefer National Breakout to the Nemperor debut. (It sounds dirtier.) By contrast, I had high hopes for the Kings' "Amazon Beach" followup, which was on a twofer with "The Kings Are Here." It was sadly unlistenable. Not a single actual song to be found.
Hey Sal ... I'm having one of those
"404 Not Found The server can not find the requested page:" messages.
And I'm intrigued with that Pornographers live on KCRW track :-)
Sal it just may be be but I can't download the music.
This pops up instead:

Be well (and the invite to appear on "Lost at Sea" is always open!)

The link has been corrected. Sorry for the hassle. All working now.
Many Thanks!
Thank you, Mr N. Always a fan of the SOTW zips & good to hear Bowie's "God Bless...". Plus that Nice thing is unknown to me so I must explore. Cheers!
2 things - 1) I've been considering seeing The Beat live at their ATL show - this may push me over the edge!
2) Now I HAVE to hear the New Porno's version of Lindsey's song... and, have you ever heard the Blake Babies' wonderful version?
"Ashes By Now" is such a perfect song. It's so good that it makes me mad that Crowell sometimes seems to put his writing on cruise control.
