ain't no love

Just cuz, y'all.

barbara george - i know

I really love New Orleans soul and I really LOVE ladies from New Orleans singing soul. Check out Barbara George. She's rocking a cross necklace and some bling bling on her ring fing. This lady WROTE and sang her hit in 1961, "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)," which was covered by many people later. All of these are slightly different than Barb's version, but all super tight. Also, CHER.

let's have a help viewing party!

Help!, the amazing Beatles movie, is in my top 10. DUH.COM. I really love the movie, the album, the men in general. I hate when people dismiss the Beatles just because it seems awesome to not like them because everyone does. THEY ARE FANTASTIC. Deal.

Anyway, I love this part of the movie. Mostly for the casual blue jean Friday look that is happening. Beatles on the beach! Stoic Ringo stroking a guitar! John Lennon silliness factor set to 11! So tight.

happy sunday, y'all.

I'm back home after a great summer of travel. One week left until I am back to work. How does summer always go so fast? It makes no sense to me. Anyway, here's a Sunday song for you. Hope you all relax and have a nice drink today to get your week started.

tight people of the day: maurice and mac

Once again, I must give props to my iTunes. Besides being my secret boyfriend, it constantly supplies me with treasures I forgot I even had. Don't get me wrong, I love digging for records and discovering great things. But putting my iTunes on shuffle will often satisfy my soul.

EXAMPLE: Today it totally played a baller track, "You Left the Water Running" by Maurice and Mac. About a year ago, I was into researching duos. I compiled a bunch of songs by dudes like Sam and Dave, Sam and Bill, Eddie and Ernie, and Bob and Earl. (All ballers, by the way.) Maurice and Mac were a part of this search and I wound up really liking some of their tunes.

Maurice and Mac were both members of the Radiants in the mid sixties when they left the group. They released some super tight songs, including the one I'm sharing today, in 1968 on Checker but never really found the fame they probs desired. An LP was never released by these guys!

Tonight, I will toast my wine to Maurice and Mac.

trip to bill's

This weekend, I took an adventure to Dallas. We stopped by Bill's, the well-known record store, to search for some vinyl. Let me tell you right now, I was covered in dirt and left with a heightened sense of panic. That store is nuts! There is literally no organization in the 7-inch section.

Doesn't that get your heart rate going? Where do you even start? Anyway, after a while of digging, I managed to find some good things. There are tons of 45s just hanging out without sleeves, and lots and lots of damaged 45s. But I found some diamonds in the coal mine.

Oh, don't forget this guy:

nick drake - from the morning

So this song has been playing on that AT&T commercial where they drape orange curtain thingies on all the buildings AND THE OCEAN. Every time I hear it, I pretty much drop what I'm doing and lock into it like a newborn. It's such a dog whistle for me. Good thing I already own this album.

Here it is for your listening and downloading pleasure.
