Augustus Pablo - Keep On Knocking [1974]

 

Leonard Cohen - Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye [1967]

 

The Fall - Put Away [1979]

 

So it’s a bit of a digression, but

Compare and Contrast

(I wish I could be like) David Watts

and

My Perfect Cousin

 

 

 

Cara Dillon singing the Joni Mitchell number

 

 

 

 

 

Is it worth going to Ohio?

 

City slick and country hick,
They came one and all,
The traffic-light girl and the down home kids,
Assembled in the hall.
Brute Force and Ignorance,
Yes, that`s the name,

Brexit supporters the lot.

 

 

 

 

drivin' home after another day of hard and dangerous labor in the NW woods with a quart of bud and this on the box and wonderin' 'am I doin' the right thing?'...just got back from a visit with friends in Venice CA and they said 'we got room fer you here a block from the beach and you'll be a fool iffen you don't come down here and join us...' get on home to you meant gettin' on back home to California...

 

they won...'work all day, drink and fight....no end in sight...' gets tiresome after awhile...

Breaking news! Americans never walked on the moon, it was some Norwegian guys .

 

 

 

Is it worth going to Ohio?
 

Well I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, o, oh way to go Ohio

Barbecue Bob - I'm On My Way Down Home [1930]

 

Reminds me of a Stevie Miller tune.  Someone done did this song but I can't place it.

 

Anyway, this one should be very recognizable.

the first one is a common riff, Cream put a nice twist on it on Wheels of Fire

 

 

'goin' up the country' referred to the migration to rural areas (especially in northern California) by young hip folks in the early 70s when recorded by Canned Heat and they included the the little penny whistle stuff as well...I had just got to SF and Berkeley in 1970 and wondered 'where's everybody goin?'...Neil Young captured a lot of this in his music about the same time...patched levis, flannel shirts and work boots were the uniform and they weren't leavin' nothin', they took the same problems with them that they thought that they were leavin' back in town...the problems with the VN war, imperialism and racism were still with us...nowhere to hide...

 

 

The Heartless Bastards with Mountain from a live show at Wealthy Theatre.

When I finally think of who did that tune I'll post it.  I can hear it in my head but I just can't put a name to it.  Drivin' me crazy now!!

 

Sounds like so many farang who come to Thailand thinking their lives will be different but then finding out that you can never leave where you came from without taking yourself with you.

 

Nice Cream number, tutsi.

 

And another Heartless Bastards tune.

 

 

Mogwai on Take Me Somewhere Nice from the 2001 Rock Action release.  Nice music when you feel like spacing out (puff, puff).

 

 

In A Bar by Tango With Lions from the 2010 Verba Time release.

 

 

Lola Marsh on She's A Rainbow from her 2017 Remember Roses release.

 

 

All My Tears by Ane Brun from her 2018 Leave Me Breathless release.

 

 

For all you Nick Cave fans this is my favourite, awesome version of Stagger Lee.  Just make sure the younguns are outta earshot.  And if a lot of French offends you then you best head to your safe space.

 

 

Due to the thunderous applause and shouts of Encore!!! Nick returns for another macabre gem.
