Providing Musical Distractions for our Sick, Sad World
Song of the Day: Alex Chilton – Stuff Here’s a hidden gem from Alex Chilton‘s ragged and all too haphazard solo career. It’s a funky, slightly salacious shuffle from the 1985 Feudalist Tarts EP, perhaps Alex’s most solid post Big Star effort. Alex actually seems to be trying and even enjoying himself for once, and that …
Video of the Day: The Special Guests – Paul Cezanne, the Father of Cubism This educational little ditty is a special favorite of the Infinite Jones crew. It always causes happy bouncing about the room and joyous sing-a-longs with it’s catchy chorus whenever it comes on. The Cubistic animation of the guitar solo also provides …
Song of the Day: Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes – I Ain’t Got the Fever No More Steve Van Zandt wrote this answer song to last night’s Video of the Day song The Fever (by Bruce Springsteen, as noted). From the Jukes 1977 album This Time It’s for Real, it has the confident, relaxed …
Video of the Day: SouthSide Johnny And the Asbury Jukes Sing the Fever on SCTV The Jukes own this Springsteen tune on an episode of SCTV. Southside handles the acting with aplomb, too. Enjoy.
Song of the Day: Warren Zevon – Johnny Strikes Up the Band Let’s start things of right this week with this great first track from Warren Zevon‘s classic 1978 Excitable Boy album. Waddy Wachtel and Danny Kortchmar’s churning, chiming guitars and Warren’s tough but, tender vocals make this one an Infinite Jones favorite. Jubilation in …
Song of the Day: Tom Rush – Rockport Sunday A beautiful guitar instrumental to soothe your Sunday morning from Tom Rush‘s 1968 The Circle Game.
Featured Playlist: AlphaBetaGurl Order This was a fun little exercise. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. (Had to cheat a little for the “X”.) Bonus: The Three Stooges Swingin’ The Alphabet Just for the Heck of it.
Video of the Day: Willie Nile – Love Is a train We LOVE Willie Nile. If you have never seen him live, you are really missing out on something special. He and his band put on a show that rivals any performer you can name. Willie is small in stature but, has an enormous heart …
Song of the Day: Ducks Deluxe – Daddy Put the Bomp Today’s swampy, slinky little Song of the Day comes to us by way of original Pub Rockers Ducks Deluxe from their 1974 eponymous debut album. Enjoy the lazy, laid back groove.
Video of the Day: Steely Dan – Do It Again (Extended Rework Flying Mojito Bros Done It Again Edit) We don’t always enjoy these “disco” remixes of Classic Rock songs but, this one is kinda brilliant. And, a groovy Soul Train Dance Line for your viewing pleasure!
