I like Nick Drake quite a bit, but this is not my favorite, by a long shot....

Squeeze - Take Me I'm Yours
(Feb 27, 2012 - 10:37)
A classic from college days...  GOD, I'm getting old!

Kate Bush - Love and Anger

Not a fan of Kate Bush at all.

Watch the movie "Once".  It is about them.


Willis Alan Ramsey - Ballad of Spider John

Buffett's is far better than the original, IMO.

The piano sounds like it is from "brothers on a hotel bed" from Death Cab for Cutie....  Interesting.

Theyre selling postcards of the hanging
Theyre painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
Theyve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad theyre restless
They need somewhere to go
As lady and I look out tonight
From desolation row

Cinderella, she seems so easy
It takes one to know one, she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette davis style
And in comes romeo, hes moaning
You belong to me I believe
And someone says, youre in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave
And the only sound thats left
After the ambulances go
Is cinderella sweeping up
On desolation row

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for cain and abel
And the hunchback of notre dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the good samaritan, hes dressing
Hes getting ready for the show
Hes going to the carnival tonight
On desolation row

Now ophelia, shes neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid

To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her professions her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noahs great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into desolation row

Einstein, disguised as robin hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On desolation row

Dr. filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
Theyre trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
Shes in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
Have mercy on his soul
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From desolation row

Across the street theyve nailed the curtains
Theyre getting ready for the feast
The phantom of the opera
A perfect image of a priest
Theyre spoonfeeding casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then theyll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words

And the phantoms shouting to skinny girls
Get outa here if you dont know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To desolation row

Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To desolation row

Praise be to neros neptune
The titanic sails at dawn
And everybodys shouting
Which side are you on?
And ezra pound and t. s. eliot
Fighting in the captains tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About desolation row

Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(about the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, theyre quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I cant read too good
Dont send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From desolation row

I was sitting in some random relatively dive-y bar in the flats in Cleveland, and a band of old, paunchy, square looking dudes limped up to the stage and strapped on instruments.

The Smithereens opened up for The Cult. There were probably around 150-200 people there. Both bands kicked ass although I must say that The Cult stole the show. I was in college when both of these bands came out. Early to mid 80's. It brought back all those memories of partying to the sound of these guys till the sun came up! The birthday boy has a little (lot) of cash so he has done this every year for the last five years. I can't wait till Halloween next year.

The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along.
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time.
Hi yo you got light in your eyes.
And you're standing here beside me
I note the passing of time.
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight

Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there.
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place.
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be

Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view.
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two.
Love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead.
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh

Her husband ended up being transferred to Germany, and when she left, "Island Fridays" went with her. Every time I hear this song, I think back to those times and smile.

PattonFever - "i love this song so much".
Consider that this quote is from a listener who, for better or worse, rated all Lucinda Williams songs 1. The clunkiest, sappiest, most heavy handed French horn part ever. Inexplicably, NPR uses it as a music break between news articles. I try to give Damon Gough a fair listen, because he is and has been capable of transcendence. This song, however, is base emotional pandering in my opinion. I expect more, a lot more, from such an exceptional talent. Still, a CD worth having.


i don't like lucinda, so i can't like this? please. a break is in order. if you have a problem with me, and what i like, take it to PM, rather than attempting to piously berate me in public, like a child, over something that isn't relevant. i see no correlation between lucinda williams and badly drawn boy. i didn't do anything to you. in fact, i don't think i've ever even seen your screen name before, so your attack on me came completely out of left field. please. take your soapbox, and point it somewhere else. you don't know me well enough to warrant giving me shit about my opinions, so i suggest you cease this petty garbage immediately. thank you.

as for this song, it's OK. but I really despise onions.


this is not their best. Overall Chutes too Narrow is much better.

I used to live and work in Birmingham, UB40's home town (I actually worked in their Abattoir recording studio a few times) and that album (Rat in the Kitchen) always reminds me of a funny story... about the time it came out, some members of the band went into partnership to buy a restaurant in the city, called "The Latin Quarter". When it was opening, the local TV station did an item on it on the evening news. Somebody in production must have said "just stick their latest single on the soundtrack in the background" without realizing what their current single was. So there was this lovely piece on the evening news about this great new restaurant, with "there's a rat in me kitchen, what am I gonna do?" playing in the background. I believe the restaurant closed some time ago... I'm not suggesting it was related to health and safety issues, but I know I could never bring myself to eat there after that!

Wonder how many of their fans (who somehow really believe they are really "punks") have any clue who ES is?

I like Greenday and all (sometimes)... but they destroyed the world with this crap they opened the door foor.

This... on the other hand... gets an 8.6 rounded up to a 9.

I can't figure out if she was under the weather at this performance, or what, but compared to all the other recordings I've heard, on here her voice sounds thin and scratchy, and her accent and phrasing are weird.
