Keep Happy- Papa Mali
The Friday before I took off, my friend Allen played this track on his radio show "All That Gumbo," which airs on Fridays at 4PM on WIOX from the Catskills. That drum pattern stayed in my head for days and I kept it up on the site until I returned. Great sentiment with a great groove.
Shadrach- Beastie Boys
From the "Revolver" of hip hop records, "Paul's Boutique," this Beasties track felt like a perfect follow-up to Papa Mali.
Mary (Alternate Take)- Robert Fripp & Daryl Hall
Terre Roche provides the lead vocal on this track from Fripp's "Exposure," while the Daryl Hall version sat in the vault for years. As much as I love Terre's vocals, I think I like Daryl's better.
Baby Don't Do It- 5 Royales
"Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it."
You Were So Warm- Dwight Twilley Band
But is it power pop? Who cares really? It's perfect pop.
Over My Head- Ray Davies
Arguably the best Ray Davies track of the last 20 years,
Guess I'm Dumb- Jules Shear
A great cover of Glen Campbell covering Brian Wilson.
