Six Songs That Kill You

[karlophone]

Dave Van Ronk "Green Rocky Road"

Daves well known but some of his songs are just so intense - yet light at the same time. it literally sounds like morning in the woods or something.
Francoise Hardy "There But For Fortune"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN6E8RyHby8
off one of her WB albums. spooky.
Justice Department "It Could Be More Beautiful Than Life"
from a random 45 i found. i think this is a gospel group but this is one of those great soul/gospel/doesnt matter songs. the echo efx on the vocals bring this into lightly psychedelic soul land.
Sammi Smith "Lonely Street"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Dha5VgQp4
anyone looking for strongly produced very emotive early 70s country, dont sleep on Sammi...
Shopping Trolly "Bring Back The Mary Hopkin Days"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBk-URObays
late 80s UK band, heavenly vocal gal. Weird... beautiful...Mesmerizing!!!
Talk Talk "After The Flood"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrS5ztAJ5xw
the closest thing to a LSD trip this side of 1975. check that beat! the sax "solo" is a mindfuck. apparently they recorded about 200 takes on 128 tracks and it took months to edit it down, dropping tracks in and out of the mix. this song defines 'epic' to me.

This is a late night/insomniac/we don't need another woebegone song post made up entirely of "weird looking dudes with beards" b/w "(dude, i'd fuck her) sweating girls who sometimes wear lipstick and frilly shirts, but always deliver ruggedness, just check their pipes."

The dudes with beards? They will likely get the collective ehhhh from the soulstrut intelligentsia. "Not funky enough." Well, here's something... I'm not doing this for you, see, I'm doing this for me. So, when you're listening to these songs, please don't think of you, think of me. (Like my man says: Leave me be/ I was in love once, too/ And I know what it's like/ And I don't need this/ Shit from you/ I don't/ Listen to no one/ So why should I?/ They're all LIARS! --[instrumental refrain]-- So now you wanna talk/About what we claim to be/ I'm not thinking of you/ I'm thinking of me/ If that bothers you/ Then leave/ Leave me be/ 'Cause it's all shit/ And you should know...). And besides, the killing songs exemplum is not geared towards getting open on breaks or crucially classic slept-on shit, it's about what's killing you, that is, me (These songs ain't cherries. You can't pick them. They picks you. That is, me), and what's killing me (remember those what's killing you? threads lily used to make over there?) is some dudes with beards and warbly voices. Oh, and some sometimes lipsticked chicks.

About the chicks. Sure, they're quite possibly cute or blappable or worthy of more attention than you've given Anna Nicole Smith, but that's not the point, either. Think of them (her) like a hotrod convention at the coliseum. You and your dudes standing around looking at the engine--hoods up--on some greasemonkey shhh-rude-ness. "Check out the pipes on that one!" The pipes, man, the pipes. That's what's killing me. (And that Fender with the duct taped strap.)

There's something to be said for the time (currently 3:09 am) and the amount of bird references in this post (insert JRoot's: "If the wedding goes awry, there's always birding"), but that birdcallingcode is, as of now (currently 3:10 am), indiscernable. Suffice to say, birds mean something right now. Ask her.
