No Fish Today- Kid Creole & The Coconuts
Mega Bottle Ride- Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

Uptown Top Ranking- Althea & Donna
What'll I Do For Satisfaction- Johnny Daye
I'm Where I Should Be- Paul Weller
Your Way- Paul McCartney
No Fish Today- Kid Creole & The Coconuts
(Kid Creole at The Ritz, early 80's, sometimes on sneaker night Mondays for $2- couldn't get better! This is from "Wise Guy," which might as well be a greatest hits record.)
Mega Bottle Ride- Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
(First round is on me if you can tell me what this song is about. I love it, anyway.)
When I Get It Right- Joan Armatrading
(Between 1982-1986, I saw Joan Armatrading live on every NYC stop. That string of albums was solid. Here's a fave.)
Uptown Top Ranking- Althea & Donna
(With the passing of Sly Dunbar, I could have chosen one of a hundred tunes. I saw this listed in a tribute, so I went with it.)
What'll I Do For Satisfaction- Johnny Daye
(A killer cut from Steve Cropper and Johnny Daye. Janet Jackson did an okay cover, but it can't hold a candle to the original.)
I'm Where I Should Be- Paul Weller
(From this week's favorite Paul Weller album "Saturns Pattern.")
Your Way- Paul McCartney
(Like much of Paul's solo work of the last 30 years, "Driving Rain" did nothing for me upon release, but slowly unfolded over time. Now, I can't say enough about how smart and wonderful it is. It could use a snip or three, but the chunk of seven or eight songs in the middle absolutely kill me. This is one of them. Dig that "Mother Nature's Son" tag!)
There is only one zip today, as I am now officially locked out of my original host with all my files, claiming I am being "rate limited," whatever that means.
It never ends.

Never heard of that. Weird sounds like an expense account restriction
Thank you - big fan here of McCartney's Driving Rain album.
Always appreciate a Kid Creole track. According to their website, KC&Coconuts are headlining a 5-day, disco-themed cruise out of Miami next month. (Um...no.) Otherwise they still play only in Europe.
Come back, Kid!
