Daily Jam - Pleasant Street

So, i'm one of those people that likes the music of Tim Buckley better than the music of his son Jeff Buckley.  I don't think there's a lot of us out there, especially among people my age.  Anyway, here's the former with "Pleasant Street," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Spooky

Here's a classic from Classics IV.  "Spooky" was originally an instrumental written by Mike Sharpe and Harry Middlebrooks Jr.  Classics IV's version has the distinction of being the first with lyrics, written by James Cobb and Buddy Buie.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - With or Without You

I've never been super big on U2.  But i've always liked "With or Without You."  Let's listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Fooled Around and Fell in Love

My boys are getting older now and finding their own music that they're into, but when they were little, James Gunn and "The Guardians of the Galaxy" had a large hand in dictating their tastes, my boys getting into a bunch of '70s songs that came out before i was even born.  To be fair though, i got into some of them too, like Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Days

Celebrating my 17th wedding anniversary today with a love song from David Bowie that makes my heart sing.  Listen to "Days" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Ballrooms of Mars

Somedays it feels like this whole thing, whatever that might be or whatever you want to call it, might be winding down.  And whenever that may be, i think maybe T. Rex should play us out.  Here's "Ballrooms of Mars," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Tired of Waiting for You

Here's a cover of The Kinks' "Tired of Waiting for You" by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood that was unearthed a few years ago by Light in the Attic Records for their series of Lee Hazlewood reissues.  It's quite lovely.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Time

Here's a classic, melancholy tune from The Alan Parsons Project for your Thursday.  Listen to "Time" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - God

"God" is probably my favorite John Lennon song.  The lyric, "The dream is over," just sticks with me.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Success

Let's enjoy our Sunday with some music from the legendary and indispensable Iggy Pop.  Listen to "Success" below, our Daily Jam.

U.S. Girls

Maybe it's just me, but i swear that Meg Remy's U.S. Girls project almost sounds like a completely different band with every new album.  That trend continues with the upcoming "Scratch It" LP.  First single "Bookends" is a sprawling, at times almost sultry mix of soul, pop, rock, and psychedelia that's as good of a jump on point as any other track the artist has ever released.  It has a little bit of everything.  Dig on it below and pre-order the record here from 4AD.

Cory Hanson

Wand front man Cory Hanson is readying his new solo album (his fourth!) for release this July with the upcoming "I Love People."  That's the excellent album cover art above.  Dig on the classic folk and rock and country vibes of "Bird on a Swing" below and pre-order the LP here from Drag City.

Daily Jam - Goodnight Ladies

I vividly remember where i was when i found out Lou Reed had died.  I was at the annual Texas Book Festival held in downtown Austin, in front of the Capitol building at 11th and Congress where a lot of the tents are set up.  For some reason, HEB had a giant (possibly inflatable) shopping cart on site.  Everything felt surreal.  And the first song to pop into my head was the closing track from 1972's "Transformer," the jazzy and baroque "Goodnight Ladies."  It's in my head now.  Let's put it in yours.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Rocket

I think my three favorite cassettes when i was in 4th grade were LL Cool J's "Walking with a Panther," Weird Al Yankovic's "Even Worse," and Def Leppard's "Hysteria."  The '80s were a wild time man.  Here's a track from the latter to start your week.  Listen to "Rocket" below, our Daily Jam.

Sunnbrella

Here's some techno, industrial, and shoegaze-laced pop rock from UK band Sunnbrella.  New album "Gutter Angel" is out next month.  Pre-order it here from Music Website and listen to "Have Your Say" below.

Daily Jam - Here, There and Everywhere

Here's a classic from The Beatles.  Listen to "Here, There and Everywhere" below, our Daily Jam.

Motorpsycho

Next month brings us chugging new music from Norwegian rock n' roll band Motorpsycho.  Listen to "Stanley (Tonight's the Night)" below, chug a beer, pump your fist in the air, and jump around the room with zest and vigor.  And pre-order the self-titled LP here from the band.

Daily Jam - Brûlure

I need something pretty this morning.  Something warm.  Something peaceful.  Here's Francoise Hardy with "Brûlure," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Who Loves the Sun

And now for a classic from arguably one of the greatest bands to have ever existed, The Velvet Underground.  Here's "Who Loves the Sun," our Daily Jam.  Listen below.

Daily Jam - Simply Shady

Here's a little George Harrison on a Wednesday morning.  Listen to "Simply Shady" below, our Daily Jam.
