Constructed from bits and pieces of Pop ephemera, featuring Tarzan on vocals and a cut and paste Miles Davis trumpet solo, this is another slightly too long demo from 1999/2000. Hope you like it. The art work is by the Infinite Tina.
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 and the tight New Orleans style horn section make this laid back groove a real charmer. Enjoy.
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 much joy. We do not know much at all about this band. Googling “Special Guests” doesn’t turn up much useful info. But, we are sure that it is our favorite New Wave song about the Father of Cubism! So, dig this and you might just learn something, too!
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 groove of one no longer burdened by obsession and features some fine harmonica by Southside. Enjoy.
The Jukes own this Springsteen tune on an episode of SCTV. Southside handles the acting with aplomb, too. Enjoy.
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 the land, indeed!
A beautiful guitar instrumental to soothe your Sunday morning from Tom Rush‘s 1968 The Circle Game.
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”.)
Just for the Heck of it.
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 and incredibly generous spirit. He is the antidote for what ails you. He will renew your faith in Rock and Roll and, hell, Humanity in general. Seriously, go see Willie if you get the chance. You won’t regret it.

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.
