I thought it would be a great idea to post some of the songs I'm converting. Every time I do a batch of albums, I will pick the tracks that just stand out. So, here are some tracks for your listening pleasure:
This first track is Ray Charles with the Raelets & Margie Hendrix. I've never heard this song before but it is a pretty good version and it's off of ABC-Paramount. The B-side is "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams. It was released in 1962 and I do not really hear this version on the Oldies stations so here you go. Also, I got it for 50 cents! What a bargain for a great song!
The next track is the B-Side of Otis Redding's "Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (sad song)." He really did die way too young. I often wonder what his music would sound like in the 70s. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - one of my all time favorite songs - really was a departure from his earlier recordings but you can only guess if that was reflecting some bigger move or if it was just a one time thing he was trying out. When I lived in Santa Cruz, my roommates and I would sit up on the roof (there was a door there because supposedly the owners were building a balcony) and blast Otis Redding's Greatest Hits, smoke cigarettes, drink beers and watch the boats in the harbor. It was one of those truly great moments that happened pretty frequently living in that small house. So here you go, "Good To Me" by Otis Redding.

Can I be any more obsessed with this album? Yes, I think so. A couple of nights after I bought this, I was house sitting at my friends' apartment in Santa Monica and I spend the better part of the weekend playing this album over and over and over again. I am sure their neighbors were pretty pleased with me.
We had a pretty intense discussion over this album and Rilo Kiley's maturity as a band. Personally, I think it is an amazing album. It's eclectic, Jenny Lewis' singing is incredible, it displays more of their talents as musicians. However, I still stand by my opinion about the track, "Dejalo." I cannot deal with that song. It's the chorus. It's her singing "Dejalo, Nuestra Cosa." It makes me cringe. Overall, the song has good lyrics but that chorus just rubs me the wrong way. Overall, I love the album. I think it is a good departure from "More Adventurous." I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me on that one.

Mister JT & I figured out that the beginning of "Dreamworld" reminds us of a Wham song. We had a good time trying to figure that one out. But I also love the fact that it's Blake Sennett singing.
"Breakin' Up" always need songs for that break-up mix cd. Just kidding. The harmony and joy in the chorus
just makes me happy.
Question: The Waters - does anyone know any thing about them? They are wonderful. (I suppose, as a librarian, I could look this up...but I find it's always best to ask people about music. That's how I get my knowledge and it's a lot more fun talking to people about music.)
SIDE NOTE: Ahh, thanks to Miss C, Miss K & Mickey for letting me crash at their apartment. Saved my life from the mad heatwave this past weekend. I heart them.
