Donald Fagen - "IGY (What a Beautiful World)"

Howard Jones covers this on his Greatest hits, and I got all confused. I could have sworn it was a Steely Dan song. I was close.

Deceptively cool song.

Stands for "International Geophysical Year 1953-54." A 1950's kid's view of the future done as affable lighty whitey r & b.


Song of the moment for me: Lush "Ladykillers." Put it on a mix for my wife's truck and it still slays.

I'm terrible at song titles. Is this the first track of the 'The Nightfly'? If so that's a pretty good track considering it's LA session musician produced cod-reggae cheese.

What I mean is it shouldn't be good but it is.

My track of the moment is Al Simmons' 'Old Folks Boogie' which is on Radcliffe's Konstantimix and which I will send him just as soon as I stop listening to it.

"The Purple Bottle" by Animal Collective. This is my favourite song of the year.

Also, this morning, if you really want to get in the moment, I was touched by Mike Watt's "Burstedman".

I purchased several new records this week and haven't even removed the shrink wrap yet. Been revisiting a month-old mix and playing TVOTR's 'Dry Drunk Emperor' really, really, really loud. No shit.

My latino employees think I am insane for owning Ry Cooder's Chavez Ravine. They want to play "Chinito Chinito" really loud when any of my asian clients come by.

"Picture" by Our Lady Peace off of Healthy in Paranoid Times

They have been opening their shows with this lately and it is the perfect slow building concert starter.

Shit yeah.

Today is "Soul Deep" by the Box Tops. I've listened to this song 3-4 times already today.

for some reason I cannot get the Gorillaz "Dirty Harry" out of my head as of late. It keeps reminding me of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's "The Mesage" and Blondie's "Rapture" - so I guess I've got an amalgamation of the three synth lines spooling off ad infinitum in my crainium. And it just feels right.
