Gotta Go Go Go!
Song of the Day: The Paley Brothers – Down the Line The Paley Brothers one and only, eponymous album is highly touted in Power Pop circles but, we actually find it kinda wimpy. Even their minor hit Come Out and Play, while catchy, is a bit too childish and mild for us. The exception is …
OK?
Song of the Day: The Hitmen – OK Another deep dig into the Infinite Jones Archives dredges up this super bouncy little New Wave ditty. It is from the oddly titled Aim for the Feet album from 1980. All we can tell you about the Hitmen is that these are NOT the Australian Hitmen, who …
Lady Luck Drives a Pick-Up Truck
Song of the Day: Danny & Dusty – Song for the Dreamers Dan Stuart (“Danny”) of Green on Red and Steve Wynn (“Dusty”) from the Dream Syndicate along with several members of other L.A. Paisley Underground bands make up the super-group-of-sorts Danny & Dusty. They recorded the charming, shambling Lost Weekend in 1985 as a …
Ambient Guitar Jam
Song of the Day: Shuggie Otis – Freedom Flight A spacey, psychedelic, ambient slow jam from Johnny Otis’ guitar whiz son Shuggie. Perfect mood music for a quiet Saturday morning. This is from the 1974 album Inspiration Information, later reissued by David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label.
Make the World Go the Other Way Around
Song of the Day: Luc Van Acker – Feels Like Love Belgian Luc Van Acker was a founding member of Revolting Cocks. He also released several solo albums on Wax Trax! Records. This bellowing, banging, bruiser from his 1986 debut has always been one of our underground dance floor faves. Feel the Love. …
Real Gone Gal!
Song of the Day: Tav Falco – Tina the Go-Go Queen Today’s very special Song of the Day is a very special tribute to a Very Special Lady, the Infinite Tina. We collect “Tina” songs here at Infinite Jones (natch) and this is one of our favorites. Sung by the legendary and infamous, Memphis gonzo …
Searching for What Is Gone
Song of the Day: Electric Light Orchestra – Nightrider We know ELO were probably never cool. Even before they damaged their reputation with the machine-tooled Disco/Pop of their commercial hey-day, they were just not hip. But, we don’t care because we love them anyway. (We definitely prefer the pre-disco days though.) So, today, we are …
Mad Improv Skillz
Song of the Day: Tronzo and Gabrels – Not Gonna Happen From Dave Tronzo’s Bandcamp site: “All the music on this albums was composed spontaneously as it was being recorded. This was the first meeting between Reeves and Tronzo.” We don’t know about you but, that makes the stunning precision and almost telepathic interplay of …
Funky Space
Song of the Day: Marvin Gaye – A Funky Space Reincarnation Today Infinite Jones takes you “over to the Pluto-tarium to get Pluto-tized. We know ya’ll can dig that.” A Funky Space Reincarnation is the lightest song from this otherwise dark, and personal Divorce Album, Here, My Dear. It’s relaxed, irresistibly groovy beat and weird, hilarious …
