Great Albums- Workingman's Dead

This is BY FAR my favorite Grateful Dead album.




1. Uncle John's Band
2. High Time
3. Dire Wolf
4. New Speedway Boogie
5. Cumberland Blues
6. Black Peter
7. Easy Wind
8. Casey Jones

Great Songs- Eric Clapton Revolution

I've been grooving to this one since it came out. E.C. hasn't had a catchy tune in a long time, (at least I can't think of one) so it's good to hear him on the radio with something new again.

A Classic- Arlo Guthrie Alice's Restaurant

In honor of Thanksgiving, with the circles and arrows and the Group W bench.
If you don't have this, go get it.

Great Lyrics- DMB Joyride

I absolutely love this lyric from Joyride, which was a bonus song on the album "Stand Up"

If you're lost
I got a bobblehead Buddha
Legs crossed
But he is in the groove


A friend of mine tells a story about being at a Phish concert and overhearing a couple of people in front of them talking. One of them wasn't dancing to the opening act at all and his chum asked him why.
"I'm saving up, man. I'm saving up to get my groove on."

Go, Buddha, go

Great Lyrics- Watching the Detectives

I seem to think this is about getting no attention from the significant other because she's watching the detectives... which makes it a brilliant, brilliant song.

Watching the Detectives by Elvis Costello

Nice girls, not one with a defect cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs, She looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives, ooh - "he's so cute"
She is watching the detectives when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
They beat him up until the tear-drops start.
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

Long shot of that jumping sign Visible shivers running down my spine
Cut the baby taking off her clothes Close-up of the sign that says "We never close"
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette. She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake She is . . .

You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.
Now your fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit.
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit.
Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
it only took my little fingers to blow you away
Just like watching the detectives. Don't get cute
It's just like watching the detectives.
I get so angry when the tear-drops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart. Watching the detectives. It's just like watching the detectives. Watching the detectives. Watching the detectives.

Great Lyrics-

Lately I've been listening to Dave Matthews Band Live at Red Rocks.

I Love the version of "Seek Up" on there:

Some lyrics that speak to me:

Oh, Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, Take a look again, take a look again,
Things you have collected,
Well in the end it all piles up so tall
to one big nothing, one big nothing at all

Late at night with TV's hungry child
his belly swells
Well, for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungy eyes
Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again
Everyday things change,...basically they stay the same

Great Albums: Learning To Crawl

While the rest of my classmates were listening to the songs on the list from the last post, I was rocking out to Zep, the Who, AC/DC and all the rest of the classic rock canon. One group that wasn't exactly classic rock and was also popular with the mainstream in the 80s that I really liked were The Pretenders. I liked their old albums a lot, and still think a few of their songs (Mystery Achievement, Message of Love, Brass in Pocket, Kid) should be on the all time great rock song list.

I put this album here, commercially huge as it was, to make my apologies with the mid 1980s after tearing up that list of songs from 1985. This was a great album that still rocks.



1. Middle of the Road
2. Back on the Chain Gang
3. Time the Avenger
4. Watching the Clothes
5. Show Me
6. Thumbelina

Great Songs-Graceland

Graceland by Paul Simon
From the album Graceland

This song came onto the iPod the other day while I was listening with the little iPod headphones. I've heard this song so many zillions of times that I was a little disappointed, but I kept working at whatever I was doing and not very long later I was totally sucked into the song. Maybe it's the immediacy of hearing it on headphones (which I normally don't use) or the fact I haven't heard the song in a while, but I was again impressed by Simon's offbeat stories. The Man's a genius.

Great Songs- Dean Moriarty (On the Road)

"The Persecution and Restoration of Dean Moriarty (On the Road)" By Aztec Two-Step is a song I wish more people could hear. It's one of my favorite songs, and if it got a bit more play on the radio I think it would be a favorite of a lot of people. Written in the early 1970s, it really should have become more of a hit than it did.

We just went to see Aztec Two-Step in a tiny little movie theater, and it was a great, great show. Guitarist Neal Shulman is especially impressive and I'm a big fan of Rex Fowler's vocals. My family noted that these guys could have been really big stars, but their lyrics are a little off to be a bid hit with the mainstream music fan, which is a fair assessment. On this particular song, however, they nailed it, especially for us fans of jack kerouac/ dean moriarty/ neal cassady.

The version of the song on this particular album is good, but I actually prefer the original, which is available on iTunes.
