|C| Eric Clapton - Motherless Child

Get this one on tape.

|S| The Stone Foxes - I'm A King Bee

 "The Weekend is dead. Long live the Weekend." ... Just a response to a friends post. Killer version of this classic!

|B| Band of Horses - Neighbor

... as I get into the car, my friend starts hassling around with his IPod. We make it down to the bottom of the hill, around the curve and out towards the city. He tries to get the soundtrack for our ride going and some grumpy expressions arise through his beard... Still silence... Then... "THE WIND BLEW A PATH THROUGH THE FALLEN LEAVES" ... And you feel it, the sun is suddenly brighter, the air lighter and everything around us just flies and flows. The beard is now worn by a smile.


Sometimes you remember the moments when you heard a song for the first time. One of my favorite things to happen. Yesterday.

|P| Michel Polnareff - La Poupée Qui Fait Non

Some weeks ago a friend of mine showed me this audio blog Aquarium Drunkard. And alongside some very interesting musical treasures on there site, it made me reconnect with an almost forgotten tune that has been around my house since the days of making mixtapes, and probably before.

Read the article that inspired me to post this at http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2011/06/13/michel-polnareff-polnareffs-1971/

|P| Dottie Peoples - I Believe In You

This version of Bob Dylan's "I Believe In You" is from the award-winning documentary "Gotta Serve Somebody - The Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan". Among some other outstanding moments of this spiritual journey, this song, performed by gospel great Dottie Peoples, is the highlight of Dylan's crusade. It's gonna make you rattle n' shake, pray and clap even in your own cathedral.


Check out the trailer for "Gotta Serve Somebody".

|S| Spooky Tooth

Spooky Tooth  lays down their music with such a sincerity and soulfulness that it gives me goosebumps every time I put them on. When I found my dad's vinyl collection in an old closet in the back of my Uncle's garage this LP was probably my biggest finding. Among all the greats and the forgotten Spooky Tooth sticks out with their British roots-rock, stirred together with heavy blues stuff and a bit of outer-space... just good music.

These two takes are from their 1969 quintessential album Spooky Two.

|K| Kings of Leon and The Presets - Closer

Released on Kings of Leon's recent LP Come Around Sundown, this remix of their 2008 Closer is a real surprise and a half. Stripped down to the bare bones and underlined with ... well just listen!
