Why am I suddenly sure I am going to be saying groovy the next time I see JZ?
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The verb and gerund form of "groove" don't bother me at all; it's only "groovy" and "grooviness" that cause the pain.
Hey, that's totally groovy cool.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Because it's entirely possible that Teppy was right all along and in fact you SUCK.

Wait, that's been done.

Boing Boing linked to a mashup project of Xmas songs, so I downloaded, then zipped them up into two convenient YSI links:

Yo, musicistas.
I am working on a frankenmix and I need some ideas for songs that feature good harmonica solos. Any thoughts are appreciated.
At the moment, all I can think of are artists that use the harmonica a lot - Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, a bunch of bluegrass dudes. But no individual songs.
I did think of "Middle of the Road" because I love that Hynde plays the harmonica herself - but I don't know if I want to put that on the mix. Anyway. Thanks.
edit: While I am asking, does anyone have an mp3 of "Sometime to Return" by Soul Asylum? My long-neglected copy of the CD is totally scratched and it fits another category perfectly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Anything with Little Walter should work. He's the best.
Also, Magic Dick with the J. Geils Band was a bit of an underrated genius on the instrument.
Bob Dylan plays the blues harp, of course.
Anything by Toots Thielman. He did do a version of the Sesame Street Theme that's pretty rocking.
Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" has a great harmonica solo by Stevie.

Anybody have a good version of "Carol of the Bells" they want to post at BR?
I nabbed a nice brass version from the Pittsburgh Symphony, but I'd like a choral version with, you know, bells.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmmm, I organized all my xmas songs together and changed their genre to "Christmas" on iTunes and then made a smart playlist of it and put it on random.
Which is making me hear a bunch of songs I'd missed or overlooked before. So let me report:
"Blow Northern Wind" by Mediaeval Babes is gorgeous.
"Surfer's Holiday" by Annette is a catchy tune.
"Toyland" by Leon Redbone is dreamy.
"Precious Child" by Tony Trischka is fantastic bluegrass. Actually, I know that one, and I think I posted it with Wintergrace.
