"Rambling Man" Laura Marling

 















This album that I first saw on BT's Best Albums of 2010 has been a lasting favorite.

"County Fair" Mel Tormé

 
















I do apologize for my regular use of 40s-50s music, but I just love it so. Today's the Demolition Derby at the Bedford County Fair, so I'm getting warmed up for the excitement.

"The Nursery" Clint Mansell

 
















Clint never disappoints. Neither does this under-seen masterpiece.

"Life Is A Song" Patrick Park
















If I had ever watched the O.C., I probably would have heard this song sooner.

"Stay With Me Baby" Terry Reid

 














So much passion in this track. Bonus: the verses and the choruses sound like two entirely different songs.

"One Hundred Ways" James Ingram

















Don't even try to tell me you forgot this song, written by the great Q. Jones.

"Poison & Wine" The Civil Wars
















Using the logic of this song's lyrics... I don't enjoy this song, but I always will.

"You're All The World To Me" Fred Astaire

Not only do I love this song, but it's the soundtrack to the most inventive method of special effects of the 1950s. Enjoy the song, and phenomenally creative dancing, while seeing how the scene was made.

"Stranded in the Jungle" The Cadets


















One of the most ridiculous songs I've ever heard. It's hard to believe I didn't hear it before yesterday.

"Drop to Hold You" Matt Nathanson

 
















A few of the singles off of this recent album seem like departures from the Matt Nathanson I've loved on past albums. Fortunately, there are enough tracks, like this one, that hit just right.

"Rock And Roll Part 2" Gary Glitter

















My favorite motivational sports song goes out to Team U.S.A. Show France what's up.

"Too Beautiful" He Is We


















A moving song, reminding that domestic violence is never justified or deserved.

"Bump 'N Grind" R. Kelly

 















The hilarious glory of this song is summed up in the first thirty seconds.

"Safe and Sound" Capital Cities


















Nothing quite like a mammoth wearing sunglasses while being transported by a zeppelin.

A wholehearted and wholevocalchorded ballad of grandeur.
