thad jones & mel lewis - for the love of money

my dad would be into this arrangement

the smoke - high in a room + waterfall

the band name and these song titles make it almost impossible to search for any info on them -- it's just pages and pages of weed message boards. but i have it on authority that they are a 60s garage pop band, that waterfall is a '67 b-side, and also that the drummer's son listens to them on youtube and gives shout-outs to his dad and his dad's old friends

della reese - someday (you'll want me to want you) (1960)

dominique young unique - going in hard (french fries remix)

dan deacon - true thrush

"'True Thrush' is from Dan Deacon's new album, America, out August 28...

The video co-directed by Ben O'Brien and Dan Deacon is based on a drawing game popular in the Baltimore art collective Wham City, which is in turn based on the game 'telephone.'

For the video, Dan and Ben filmed a simple 13-second scene. That scene was then shown to the next team. After seeing the video that team had 1 hour to recreate it -- characters, props, set, costumes, and actions -- as close to exactly as possible from only their memory."

the walker brothers/scott walker - orpheus

"Scott wrote this song in 1967, at age 24, for the Walker Brothers' "Images". With such a clear departure from the band's pop material, it's no wonder that a few months later he would leave the group and release his debut album."

todd rundgren - hello it's me (1973)

"Todd once said in an interview that his hair is colored the way it is because he wanted to replicate the way his hair looked under multicolored stage lights when he played live... He wanted it to look that way when he went anyplace around town in NORMAL light, so he put several different color dyes in his hair. Very creative."
