“I live in the Twentieth Century
and you lie here beside me. You
were unhappy when you fell asleep.
There was nothing I could do about
it. I felt hopeless. Your face
is so beautiful that I cannot stop
to describe it, and there’s nothing
I can do to make you happy while
you sleep.”
—Richard Brautigan “I Live in the Twentieth Century”

I Want To Meet Him The Royalettes

“I Want To Meet Him”

The Royalettes

The Royalettes were best known for their 1965 hit “It’s Gonna Take A Miracle”, later covered by Laura Nyro to even greater success. “I Want to Meet Him” snuck onto the charts later that year but to much less fanfare. Despite the songwriting and production of Teddy Randazzo, who contributed his signature orchestral arrangements, they never achieved major success.

Oh It's Such A Shame Jay Reatard

“Oh It’s Such a Shame”

Jay Reatard

Over the years Memphis’s Jay Reatard, proprietor of balls to the walls rock n’ roll, wrote any number of awesome songs. It’s hard to choose just one, but at least for moment I’m doing just that.

Don't Pretend Bridge Club

“Don’t Pretend”

Bridge Club

The defunct Minneapolis trio, with my friend Mike Koch (a former little baseball teammate) on drums, never broke through to a wider audience. A real shame as they effortlessly combined the rawness of 60’s Garage Rock with the bombastic energy of 70’s Metal and Classic Rock (Sabbath, Deep Purple etc). Regardless this track speaks for itself. It has and will lead off many a mix.
