[Demo 24,303]

Was in a mood to look for re-worked versions of great songs and found this. From Peter Gabriel’s 3rd album, which I love. Maybe my favorite track on the record. Incredible song.  Re-done by a truly great creative artist with a giant catalog of fascinating alternative versions. Literally yelped when I found it. Couldn’t turn it on fast enough, and…..

it blows. Seriously, it’s bad. How did that happen? Hate the vocal so, so much. Unvelievable.

Currently watching season 4 of The Bear. Feels like they’re still struggling to thread some stuff together but, man, whomever picks their music never, ever, misses.This is from a Dion 1975 solo album called Born to Be with You and it’s freaking awesome. Just a perfect song. Wow, love it. Didn’t know that guy was even recording at that point. Now I gotta break out the full album.

Here's a Peter Gabriel cover that doesn't blow, although it songs COMPLETELY different than the original.  It's a live version of "Shock the Monkey' covered by Local H, although just the drummer and guitar/singer.

Local H is plain cool. Scott Lucas is great. They also did a great version of Wolf Like Me and a lot of their catalog is just fun.

They showed up and played halftime of the Double Doink Bears/Eagles playoff game and absolutely ripped. A group of guys sitting next to us that would’ve been in the age group to be big Local H-in-their-heyday Chicago guys thought it was simultaneously random as hell and awesome.

For something a little different and chill, been listening to Billie Eilish on and off, so talented

Whatever you are currently listening to, I ask you to consider listening to “The Original Texas Groover” Doug Sahm instead.

Dude from San Antonio who, upon the British Invasion, decided to snarky name his country, soul, Tejano, Vox organ-touched band “The Sir Douglas Quintet.” 

Music that constantly delivers; simple yet better every listen.

Sir, outstanding call. That album is an absolute pleasure. Will have to blow through that discography this week. And the name Doug Sahm is deep in the attic of my memory for something and I can’t pull it. Annoying

You being a St Louis guy, let me venture a guess: The iconic Uncle Tupelo boys of Bellville, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, ‘kinda sorta’ covered Doug Sahm’s “Give Back the Key to My Heart” on their Anondyne album. I say ‘kinda sorta’ because though it was a studio Uncle Tupelo album, the vocal duet on that track is Jay and Doug Sahm himself. When Doug dives in for the second verse the song explodes.

RIP John Michael "Ozzy" Osborne.

Could absolutely be a piece of it. Also broke down and looked at Wikipedia, HATE having to do that, and saw he was part of the original Texas Tornadoes with Freddy Fender and those guys and I used to listen to that stuff once in a while.
