Catch up.

The springometer hasnt jumped into the red yet. There’s some green on the trees, I saw an ant; but we’re still waiting for the other shoe to drop in the form of a late snowstorm. I’m not ready to say, FUCK YEAH SPRING! quite yet. Wait til th crab apple trees are blooming. Meantime tho, I have ideas.…

Monroe Brothers’ “Nine Pound Hammer”  ?
Björk’s “Venus As A Boy” (Maybe “Big Time Sensuality” too)
Big Bill Broonzy’s “How You Want It Done?”
The Kinks’ “You’re Lookin’ Fine”
John Hammond’s “Nobody But You”
The Magnetic Fields’ “When My Boy Walks Down The Street” (Fuck yeah.)
Bo Diddley’s “Pretty Thing”
Something by Reinhardt & Grappelli, surely
“Here Comes Your Man” maybe, by the Pixies? Havnt put that on a mixtape in a while.
Something by the Suburbs?
Big Bill Broonzy’s “The Real World” by Men Without Hats
St Etienne?
Definily defnilly defnly Stereolab! “Miss Modular” it might have to be…even tho sometimes I think I play that one to death.
Bird
Ray Charles’s “Hallelujah I Just Love Her So”
Bessie Smith?
Nina Simone’s “C Line Woman”
CC (EZ) Rider oh you rider
Oh, shit! The Talking Heads’ “And She Was”
Maybe Jerry Lee
Maybe Woody Guthrie (to follow the Magnetic Fields no doubt)
How bowt T. Rex’s “Jeepster”, huh? huh?
Laisse tomber les filles, laaaaaisse tomber les filles!
Ellington?
Hot Fives??
Belle And Sebastians’ “I’m A Cuckoo”

I’m running out of steam and I better not force it. We’ll see how this falls together…when it’s time.
