Wreckless Eric, "(I'd Go the) Whole Wide World"
Like probably 2 million other people, it took Stranger than Fiction (which I highly recommend, if you haven't seen it) to introduce me to this delightfully punky, weird and sweet song. Enjoy!

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Lead Belly, "Goodnight Irene"
While the devious lady of the hour has been getting plenty of attention from the "lamestream media," what she really craves is the approval of Tuna Day. Well, she ain't getting it. She found a loophole, though, with my soft spot for Open Request Sunday, which she has defiantly abused to serenade herself. Never again!

OutKast, "ATLiens" (Explicit Lyrics)
Cooler than a polar bear's toenails... the album of the same name was released 15 years ago today, and it sounds fresh as ever. For the video, go here (the sound is better on the one below). Enjoy...

Uncle Tupelo, "Moonshiner"
Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy and Mike Heidorn, performing the traditional folk song, sung earlier by Bob Dylan...

Carole King, "I Feel the Earth Move" (Live)
Looks like I'm not the only one to seek this one out (thanks to a message from Wade) after Tuesday's minor shiver on the East Coast. I think I might have been the only one in my office who was completely oblivous to the building shaking and the lights rattling. As Hao Duong noted, it is obviously a sign that I am hyper-focused and dedicated to my job. Just like Carole King. Enjoy!

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: King Missile, "Sensitive Artist"
This week's ORS arrives by way of DARLA, who--even by New York standards--has come across more than her fair share of these folks. Enjoy!

Ann Peebles, "I Can't Stand the Rain"
So just as soon as Maura suggested this song as a fitting soundtrack for the weekend, we woke up and it was sunny. I don't want to jinx it, but maybe Mother Nature is open to reason? Happy Saturday!

The Lovemongers, "The Battle of Evermore" (Led Zeppelin Cover)
The Lovemongers (née Heart), performing live in 1992...

Maximum Balloon f. Karen O, "Communion"
When Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio) teams up with Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)... I don't stand a chance. This is from the first album of Sitek's pseudo-solo project, Maximum Balloon. Enjoy!

The Spinners, "One of a Kind Love Affair"
Today is my parents' 38th Anniversary, and I think this Spinners' classic from 1973 says it all. Actually, I take that back... it almost says it all. For the whole story--and how I choose to picture their wedding day--take a peek at this version, recorded in 1976. Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
UPDATE: So I guess I didn't listen to the lyrics that closely... probably not exactly appropriate for an anniversary. Regardless, it's a good song, with great choreography (in the linked video).

Muddy Waters, "Rollin' and Tumblin'"
Blues standard later recorded by Cream, among others, and re-worked by Bob Dylan a few years back... Enjoy!

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, "Janglin'"
Even though it's been less than a month since TD has featured a song from Mr. Sharpe (actually Alex Ebert)... TD's editorial staff is of the opinion that you can't have too much of a good thing. So without further ado, VIOLETTE wants you to know that:
...we’re out to blow the trumpet
To wake you all from bed...
...we’re out to blow the trumpet
To wake you all from bed...

Slow Club, "It Doesn't Have to Be Beautiful"
I like Bright Eyes, and I like Tilly & the Wall. So it follows that I would like what sounds like a joyous hybrid of the two. Enjoy!

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: José Feliciano, "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson Cover)
A long distance request from... MARI in Prague! Evidently she and Bryan have smoothed their transition from the States by listening to something called "World Music." Whatever works. Regardless, this is some sick guitarin'. Enjoy!

My Brightest Diamond, "Lucky" (Radiohead Cover)
My Brightest Diamond (a.k.a. Shara Worden) digs into Radiohead for Stereogum's OKX: A Tribute to OK Computer, released 4 years ago on the 10th anniversary of OKC.

The Grass Roots, "Midnight Confessions"
From 1968, originally recorded as a demo by the Evergreen Blues Band...until I went to find this song, I had no idea that a founding member and the original lead guitarist of the Grass Roots was none other than... Creed Bratton! He's on the left side of the frame, and doesn't get much face time. But who's laughing now, Warren Entner?

Prince Conley, "I'm Going Home"
From 1961... quick step, but mournful...
