Providing Musical Distractions for our Sick, Sad World
Song of Day: Ozark Mountain Daredevils – Black Sky The Real OMD is not some wimpy Synth-Pop band but, these lovable dirt hippies from back home! Black Sky is one of our favorite Ozark Mountain Daredevils songs, even if we can’t quite suss the meaning from the evocative puzzle lyrics. It’s from their classic, eponymous 1973 …

Song of the Day: Fleetwood Mac – Tell Me All The Things You Do There has been a band called Fleetwood Mac for a long time – it’s just not always the same band. This groovy guitar rocker off 1970’s Kiln House is from the Mac Mk II, say – from just after founder Peter Green …
Video of the Day: Peter Serafinowicz – Gravies of the Ancients What can we say? This just cracks us up. (This is from the guy who stars as The Tick in the new Amazon series, which we recommend.)

Song of the Friday: Bash & Pop – Friday Night (Is Killing Me) From the 1993 album, of the same name, ex-Replacements, Tommy Stinson’s Friday Night (Is Killing Me) is a bit, um, melancholy for a Friday Song but, it is still a good rockin’ tune, much in the style of his old band. We …
Video of the Day: Maria McKee sings Breathe on Night Music One of the most stunning performances ever captured live on TV from the late, lamented show Night Music (1988 – 1990). Maria McKee had just gone solo from her band Lone Justice when she appeared on the show and wowed everyone. We do …
