This today

This. Today. This.

Random play pulled up the original "Let Me Go Lover" by Joan Weber, but all I could hear in my head was Homer and Jethro...

It's been sort of an unintentional Lorelei morning.

On this day in 1974, Duke Ellington passed from this world and ascended to a higher plain of existence. Have a listen and remember him. This number goes hard.

Happy 111th to Sun Ra Herein he & his merry band take on Strayhorn's "Take the A Train", eviscerate it and make a mobius strip of the entrails. Space is the place.

Saddest news I read today is that GbV will no longer tour. If you never saw them live, I'm sorry. Have an earworm

17:45 of reasons to reconsider where "Imperial Wax Solvent" sits in the Fall catalog. #FallFriday

This extended "musical striptease" was premiered at the Duke's 1948 Carnegie Hall concert and as was noted in Leonard Feather's original program notes involves a groom discovering his new bride has a previously unknown tattoo on the wedding night. #DukeEllington

The world needs more perfect pop songs. Written by Richard Lloyd of Television fame.

Take this with you. You may need it.

Before there was the Hold Steady there was Lifter Puller and they were awesome.

This is for me the definitive version. Peel Session March 21, 1983 #FallFriday

Here's your earworm for the day. You're welcome.

This is the sort of thing you need more of in your life.

Some days only the Mint Chicks are the only thing I want to listen to... This is one of those days.

98 years ago. #DukeEllington
