Barbra Streisand [00:20] "The Christmas Song" Seasons Greetings from Barbra Streisand... and Friends Columbia Special Products CSS 1075 1969 Babs takes things in a particularly saccharine direction, but I suppose not every version can be the Nat King Cole Trio. Rockpile [04:25] "Heart" Seconds of Pleasure Columbia JC 36886 1980 The iconic album from the band that until this point has backed solo efforts from Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds knock it out of the park on their only release as Rockpile. Guitarist Billy Bremnar steps up to take the lead vocals on this snappy number. Pavement [07:00] "Frontwards" The Secret History, Volume 1 (1990-1992) Matador OLE-1064-1 2015 A compilation from a few years ago of early Pavement material. This one is a live version of one of my favorite Pavement songs, performed at Brixton Academy in London on December 14, 1992. Years later Los Campesinos! would win my musical heart with their version of this song (https://youtu.be/DnEa4ES7ep4?si=WeB_oCdOz73gNL0E). The Fresh & Onlys [10:21] "Do You Believe in Destiny" Secrets Walls Sacred Bones Records SBR-056 2011 Always love that big spacey sound Wymond Miles brings with his guitar. Peter Gabriel [14:53] "Shock the Monkey" Security Geffen Records XGHS 2011 1982 If you ask Peter Gabriel what this album is titled, he will likely say "Peter Gabriel", like his previous 3 solo efforts. If you ask Geffen Records what this album is called, they will say "Security". The more you know. The Seeds [20:16] "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" The Seeds GNP Crescendo GNP 2023 1966 A top notch side 1, track 1 from these garage rock progenitors featuring the one and only Sky Saxon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQWVHvjdfZw). Eigenlicht [23:19] "There Lies Already the Shadow of Annihilation" Self-Annihilating Consciousness Gilead Media Relic94 2018 Blackened metal from up Olympia WA way. A brief intro into this epic album. If it sounds like something that you might be interested in, definitely check out this release. The Who [25:13] "Odorono/Tattoo" Sell Out Decca DL 74950 1967 The third studio album from The Who and easily my favorite Who album. I made this one a twofer to give you, the listener, a better feel for the album. Bernard Gunther [33:08] "Face Slapping" Sensory Awakening: Relaxation Esalen Institute 1968 Evidently there is a follow-up record for this... Sensory Awakening: Couples. Yowza. Mitch Miller and the Gang [35:32] "Singin' in the Rain/All I Do Is Dream of You/Toot, Toot, Tootsie! (Goodbye)" Sentimental Sing Along with Mitch Columbia CS 8251 1960 Not sure about the last part of that medley, but the first two are solid selections from the titular film. Luna [38:57] "(Walkin' Thru' the) Sleepy City" A Sentimental Education Double Feature Records LP-DBL-0013 2017 A fine collection of covers from one of my favorite bands. This Jagger/Richards number orignally appeared on the Stones compilation album Metamorphosis (https://youtu.be/fRDtVsAvM-8?si=wyGkrescNCIU4vWd). The Parting Gifts also do a great Spector-esque cover (https://youtu.be/P903W_tJNi0?si=Fyw8WEIcJidDI4Ga). Frank Sinatra [42:42] "September Song" September of My Years Reprise Records FS 1014 1965 Frank handles this Weill number pretty well. For my money, the Lou Reed version (https://youtu.be/dHVqWRxpqXk?si=Jop71rSbI5jTlzXF) that appears on the Hal Willner project "September Song: The Music of Kurt Weill". Serana-Maneesh [48:22] "Drain Cosmetics" Serena-Maneesh Playlouderecordings PLAYR 4LP 2006 Another great side one, track one. Some mid-aighties shoegaze goodness out of Norway. Saw them perform an amazing at the Bottom of the Hill on this tour. Kermit the Frog [52:03] "Green" The Sesame Street Record Columbia CR 21530 1970 Sing it,œœ Kermie. Rosanne Cash [54:27] "Seven Year Ache" Seven Year Ache Columbia JC 36965 1981 This song has been stuck in my brain since it was first released, due in large part due to the synth lines courtesy of Booker T Jones. This was a number one album on the country charts for Rosanne, and made it to number 26 on the Billboard 200 that year. _Music behind the DJ: "Make the World Go Away" by Lawrence Welk

Glenn Yarbrough [00:32] "Each of Us Alone" Each of Us Alone: Glenn Yarbrough Sings the Words and Music of Rod McKuen Warner 1736 1968 If you weren't depressed when you started this episode, you are now. Sorry about that. But the harpsichord is pretty groovy. Eagles [02:41] "Take It Easy" Eagles Asylum Records SD 5054 1972 If you're not a fan of the Eagles, just pretend this is a Jackson Browne song. The Fresh & Onlys [06:10] "Sunglasses" Early Years Anthology Castleface Records CF-059 2015 An excellent compilation of early recordings from the band on lovely translucent yellow vinyl. Jefferson Starship [08:23] "Skateboard" Earth Grunt Records BXLI1-2515 1978 Skateboarding! It's a thing! You heard Grace correctly, she'd drain the pool for that fool. Love and Rockets [13:07] "Mirror People" Earth Sun Moon Big Time/Beggars Banquet 6058-1-B 1987 Time goes by so slow when time has no meaning any more. Although, I guess time does have meaning, otherwise I wouldn't be cranking out one episode a week. Huh. I guess things are looking up. Wymond Miles [17:09] "Temples of Magick" Earth Has Doors Sacred Bones Records SBR-070 2012 More sonic wonderment from the Fresh & Onlys guitarist. Blondie [21:21] "Dreaming" Eat to the Beat Chrysalis CHE-1225 1979 Side one, track one. Almost went with "Atomic", but again, sometimes you gotta go with the hits. Eight Belles [24:25] "The Right Light" Eight Belles Saint Rose Records SRR-1976 2015 More Bay Area goodness from Jessi Phillips and Henry Nagle and friends. And whoah dude, that's like song number eight in this episode. Dick Hyman and his Orchestra [29:04] "Mack the Knife" Electrodynamics Command Records RS 856SD 1963 Dick Hyman and his amazing electronic Lowrey Organ! Jac Holzman, K2VEH [31:36] "Alphabet, numbers and punctuation" Elektra Code Course Elektra CC-1 1956 Useful information to use after the information apocalypse. Also, kind of sounds a lot like Dick Hyman. Doc Watson [33:34] "Freight Train Boogie" Elementary Doctor Watson! Poppy Records PYS-5703 Doc and family and friends recorded at Jack Clements studio. The Stone Roses [36:35] "Elephant Stone" Elephant Stone Silvertone Records ORET1 1988 How about some peak Madchester produced by Peter Hook for you? Come [42:31] "William" Eleven : Eleven Matador OLE-45-1 1992 Thalia Zedek, Chris Brokaw and crew recorded at the famed Ft. Apache in Cambridge MA. Emmylou Harris [47:01] "Amarillo" Elite Hotel Reprise MS 2236 1975 Side one, track one on this album brings us a tune co-penned by Emmylou and Rodney Crowell, with backing vox by Linda Ronstadt. A jukebox and a pinball machine sounds pretty good to me about right now. Ella Fitzgerald [50:04] "Blue Moon" Ella in Hollywood Verve Records V6-4052 A contemporary classic performed by the one and only Ella at the Crescendo in Hollywood. I think Ella has a pretty solid sense of humor. Elton John [53:24] "Your Song" ELton John UNI 73090 Another side one, track one. I think pretty much only Elton could get away with a down tempo lead off, and a song about a song no less. Music behind the DJ: "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" by Les Baxter and his Orchestra.

Connie Francis [00:49] "Heartaches by the Number" Country Music, Connie Style MGM E 4079 1962 A little Guy Lombardo-esque, but not bad. Lawrence Welk [03:34] "Slow Poke" Country Music's Great Hits Dot Records DLP 25725 1966 Some pretty great tic-tac baritone guitar going on with some fine accordionship. The Decemberists [05:36] "O Valencia!" The Crane Wife Capitol Records B0025706-01 2016 Quite an epic 10th anniversary release on translucent red vinyl and a blu-ray featuring a live performance at the 9:30 Club from 2006. And a great song (https://youtu.be/BK5860DP78E) to boot. Spike Jones [09:22] "Holiday for Strings" The Craziest Show on Earth G&O Records MF 205/4 1977 Who doesn't love a good singing chicken impression? Pylon [13:21] "Crazy" Crazy DB Records DB 61 1981 Pylon was a bit of an intriguing mystery to me as an REM fan in the 80s. Once I saw Athens GA: Inside Out however, I was hooked! King Woman [16:34] "Manna" Created in the Image of Suffering Relapse Records RR7363R 2017 So heavy, so transcendent. If live performances are ever a thing again, definitely take to opportunity to see King Woman live. Pat Benatar [22:46] "Wuthering Heights" Crimes of Passion Chrysalis CHE 1275  1980 Well of course she would cover Wuthering Heights. And not too shabby either. The Partridge Family [28:08] "One Day at a Time" Crossword Puzzle Bell 1122 1973. Great Wrecking Crew back up here on this number co-penned by the guy who brought us "Talkin' Baseball (https://youtu.be/cZuCxUd9n5w)". The original owner of this album helpfully filled out the crossword puzzle on the cover. In ink! Bananarama [31:05] "Cruel Summer" Cruel Summer London 810 291-1 1984 Yes... yes it is. The Bobbyteens [35:59] "Jenny" Cruisin' for a Bruisin' Screaming Apple SCALP 154 2004 Fantastic Bay Area garage rock from Tina Lucchesi with Russell Quan on drums. Orchestral Manœuvres in the Dark [38:04] "Bloc Bloc Bloc" Crush A&M Records SP 5077 1985 This track is oddly sort of like a mashup between The Smiths and The The. Canseides Ser Sexy [42:31] "Alala" CSS Sub Pop SP 717 2006 The sound of 2006. Ok, a sound of 2006. Bonnie Prince Billy [46:29] "Cursed Sleep" Cursed Sleep Drag City DC316 2006 Oh hey, another sound of 2006. Wymond Miles [51:56] "Passion Plays" Cut Yourself Free Sacred Bones Records SBR-106 2013 Excellent second solo outing from The Fresh & Onlys guiarist. Let's Active [55:18] "Waters Part" Cypress IRS SP70648 1984 Seems like a pretty solid tie-in between the last track and the Pylon track. Classic jangle stuff form Mitch Easter, Faye Hunter and Sara Romweber. Music behind the DJ: "Wichita Lineman" by Joe Reisman and his Orchestra.

Albums and All That, Starting with the letter C as in Charlie From Cabaret (Original Sound Track Recording) to Castlevania (Trevor Morris) Joel Grey [00:42] "Two Ladies" Cabaret ABC Records ABCD 752 1972 Deedle Eee Deedlee Dee indeed! Caetano Veloso [03:54] "O Leãozinho" Caetano Veloso Nnonesuch 79127 1986 Recorded in NYC with translated lyrics by Arto Lindsay. Mizmor [06:14] "Desert of Absurdity" Cairn Gilead Media RELIC114 2019 This release was easily in my Top 10 albums from 2019. Wymond Miles [17:15] "Devil's Blue Eyes" Call by Night Sacred Bones Records SBR-153 2016 Sonic guitar wizard from the Fresh & Onlys in fine form on his 3rd solo album. Stephen Malkmus and Friends [21:22] "Spoon" Can's Ege Bamyasi Matador OLE 1030-1 2013 Recorded in 2012 in Köln to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Can's landmark album. Barry White [25:10] "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" Can't Get Enough 20th Century Records T-444 1974 Every day, someone is born who has never heard "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe". This album topped the Top 200 and the single topped the Hot 100. Elvis Presley [29:40] "Snowbird" A Canadian Tribute RCA KKL1-7065 1978 One for all you Anne Murray fans out there from a post-humous Elvis compilation dedicated to the Great White North. Siouxsie and the Banshees [32:38] "Candyman" Candyman Wonderland/Polydor SHEX 10 1987 Some excellent mid-period Siouxsie, topped out at 34 on the UK charts. Jerry Goldsmith [36:22] "Main Title" Capricorn One: Original Motion Picture Sound Track Warner Bros. BSK 3201 1978 From the man who brought the Planet of the Apes original motion picture sound track comes some very dramatic music! Captain & Tenille [39:10] "Love Will Keep Us Together" Captain & Tenille's Greatest Hits A&M SP-4667 1977 Sedaka's back... as interpreted by The Captain and Toni Tenille. There's some pretty fun keyboard things going on throughout the whole song. Great work Cap'n! Men at Work [42:34] "Overkill" Cargo Columbia QC 38660 1983 While this album may lack the novelty impact of Business as Usual, I'd say the song craft is much stronger on this one. Case in point: Overkill. This triple-platinum album peaked at number 3 on the Top 200, as did this single. Benny Goodman [47:22] "One O'Clock Jump" Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert Columbia OSL-160 1963 A Basie classic, from a classic 1938 jazz concert that included the likes of Benny Goodman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, Cootie Williams, Johnny Hodges, and Lester Young. The Cars [53:57] "My Best Friend's Girl" The Cars Elektra 6E-135 1978 Gotta love that Muswell Hillbilly riff. This New Wave multi-platinum smash hit has so many great songs it's hard to pick just one. Plus it's an example of Roy Thomas Baker at his finest. The Decemberists [57:40] "The Legionnaire's Lament" Castaways and Cutouts Jealous Butcher JB-052/Hush Records HUSH 049 2002 Released on my birthday way back in 2002. Trevor Morris [01:02:23] "Main Title" Castlevania: Music from the Netflix Original Series Lakeshore Records LKS35056 2017 Splatter red and black vinyl, known as "Belmont Blood". If you are at all interested in anime and/or the video game franchise, this series is definitely worth your time. Music behind the DJ: "Sarah's Song" by Krzystof Komeda

Booker T & the MG's [00:34] a side: "Over Easy" b side: "Hang 'Em High" Stax Records STA-0013 1968 Whoops... guess I got those sides flipped around. Of course "Hang Em High" would be the a-side. Oh well. Reached #9 on the pop charts and #35 on the R&B charts in 1968. Pigbag [08:35] a side: "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" b side: "The Backside" Y Records Y10 1981 Some groovy early 80s post punk from Cheltenham. An obvious play on the hardest working man in show biz, who we will hear in just a little bit, coincidentally enough. Art of Noise [17:21] a side: "Paranoimia" b side: "Paranoimia (with Max Headroom)" Chrysalis Records VS4 43070 1986 That's right, paranoia plus insomnia equals Paranoimia, with the b-side featuring illustrious mid-80s cyberpunk Max Headroom. Interested listeners can shake the internet to find the Channel 4 tv tilm Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future, or The Max Headroom Show, or the Gibsonian US tv series Max Headroom, and even Mr. Headroom as spokesentity for New Coke (no really). DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince [25:28] a side: "Parents Just Don't Understand" b side: "Parents Just Don't Understand" Jive Records 1099-7-JAA 1988 Parents, amirite? The JB's [31:50] a side: "Pass the Peas" b side: "Hot Pants Road" People PE 607 1972 Funk yeah! James Brown's backing band from the 1970s with two killer tracks. Pass the Peas reached #29 on the R&B charts. Wymond Miles [38:10] a side: "Passion Plays" b side: "Batwing" Sacred Bones Records SBR-108 2013 Fresh & Onlys guitarist Wymond Miles bringing us some fine solo atmospherics, and flipside cover of New Zealand band The Terminals. Will Oldham [44:59] a side: "Patience" b side: "Take However Long You Want" Drag City Records/Palace Records DC118/PR16 1997 Oh hey, remember last episode when I mentioned that Will Oldham briefly recorded as Will Oldham between Palace and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy? Pink Lady [52:00] a side: "Peppaa Keibu" b side: "Kanpai Ojousan" RCA Victor SV-6097 1976 Debut single from Mei and Kei aka Pink Lady, singing about Inspector Pepper. In case you are wondering, Peppa Keibu is in the key of D Major. Thanks again to loyal Vinyl-O-Matic listener Trane for this one. Music behind the DJ: "3rd Man Theme" by Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass.
