PJ Harvey [00:22] a side: "The Letter" b side: "Bows and Arrows" Island Records IS 861 2004 The first single from her 2004 album "Uh Huh Her", and a fine selection at that. Simlar to her 4-track Demos release, she plays all albums except the final mix drums. And she was the engineer, mixer and producer. What's not to love? The Castaways [07:29] a side: "Liar, Liar" b side: "Sam" Soma Record Co. 1433 1965 Another classic Nugget. Falsetto raving from Minneapolis' own The Castaways. If you're curious, check out their appearance in "It's a Bikini World". I dig the b-side too! Gene Pitney [12:48] a side: "Liberty Vallance" b side: "Take It Like a Man" Musicor MU 1020 1962 Classic theme from a classic Western, though it doesn't appear in the film. If you're a fan of Westerns, I can highly recommend The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (with all of its modern flaws). Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The b-side is an interestingly titled number written by Lieber and Stoller. Dick a Dee Dee [18:08] a side: "Life's Just a Play" b side: "All I Want" Liberty Records 55478 1962 The a-side is a bit meh, but the b-side! A mighty fine tune from Dee Dee Sperling and the improbably named Dick St. John. Joe Walsh [22:01] a side: "Life's Been Good" b side: "Theme from Boat Weirdos" Asylum Records E-45493 1978 Ah yes, the rock and roll lifestyle. Reached all the way up to #12 on Billboard's Hot 100. Fun fact for you audio enthusiasts: Joe Walsh's publishing company is called Wow and Flutter. Los Campesinos! [33:02] a side: "Light Leaves, Dark Sees" aa: side: "Four Seasons" Heat Rash HR #1 2011 The first of their self-released zine Heat Rash series, from Winter 2011. So nice. The Capsules [39:36] a side: "Light the Path" b side: "It Hangs Over Me" Isota Records sody008 2003 A lovely transluscent orange vinyl release for Isota Records' singles club. Some fine swirling post-punk. Nadja [48:51] a side: "Like a Hand on Your Brain/I Don't Mind If Your Hands Are Cold/Corrupting Host to Appease the Parasite" b side: "Freedom from Death Machines/Caught/The Smell of Bastards" Broken Spine Records BSP007 2014 Entitled "Tangled", that is a collection of the shortest songs you are likely to ever hear from Nadja. And yes, still super amazing and sublime. Music behind the DJ: "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'as performed by Les Brown and His Orchestra.
