Had to drive over to The Brick early this morning to let someone in for a rehearsal, and had a nice set of songs come up randomly on the iPod for the drive there (great traffic, quick trip) and back (jammed roads, construction, took forever), so I figured I might as well put them down here, as a change:
FROM GRAVESEND TO WILLIAMSBURG (direct way, 35 minutes):
1. "Do You Love Me?" - The Sonics - !!!Here Are The Sonics!!!
2. "I Took Your Name" - R.E.M. - Monster
3. "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" - Wanda Jackson - All the Hits and More
4. "Don't Turn Me Down" - Ray Mason Band - Don't Mess with Our Routine
5. "The Rumba Jumps!" - Glenn Miller & The Andrews Sisters - Chesterfield Broadcasts
6. "Inter-City Kitty" - The Monks - Bad Habits
7. "Amapola" - The Spotnicks - The Best of The Spotnicks
8. "The Look of Love" - Isaac Hayes - Blaxpolitation
The last song was particularly long (11 min. and change), so that's fewer songs than would be normal. There was still 1:08 of that one to play at the start of the ride back:
FROM WILLIAMSBURG TO GRAVESEND (roundabout way, around an hour):
9. "Homeward Earth" - Jimmie Haskell & His Orchestra - Countdown!
(aborted after a few seconds - not right for the mood I was in . . .)
10. "Le Fermeture Eclair" - Delphine - Rato's Nostalgia Collection 17
11. "Shticks of One and Half a Dozen of the Other" - Allan Sherman - My Son, the Greatest - The Best of Allan Sherman
12. "Harley Davidson" - Shocking Blue - Shocking Blue
13. "New York Woman" - The Kasenatz-Katz Super Circus - Bubblegum Classics Volume 4
14. "Lover's Rock" - The Clash - London Calling
15. "Come In Stranger" - Johnny Cash - The Best of Sun Records Volume Two
16. "Jazz Along Alone" - John Barry - Soundtrack Gamut, Vol. 3 - I Spy with My Little Eye
17. "Seeing Is Believing" - Bizarros - Bizarros
18. "Mes Reves De Satin" - Patricia - Foreign Language Fun, Vol. 2
("Nights in White Satin" en francais - really good, too!)
19. "Room with a View" - Wall of Voodoo - Seven Days in Sammystown
20. "Calvary Cross" - Richard & Linda Thompson - (guitar, vocal)
(and then after this 13-minute long track played, I played the first two or three minutes another four times - I love the intro to this -- and I just discovered this morning, that after being overjoyed about having the chance to see RT live for free this Summer, and even blogging about it weeks ago, I missed the show - it was last night -- oh, well, everyone got rained on anyway . . . shoot . . .)
21. "Archimede Pitagorico" - Pino Donaggio - Tutti I Successi Di
22. "Ooohhh Baby" - Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby
23. "I Bombed Korea" - Cake - Motorcade of Generosity
24. "Questions in a World of Blue" - Julee Cruise - The Voice of Love
And only a fragment of that last, as I pulled into the garage here. Then back here, to relax with the little fuzzy monsters:

Back on duty at The Brick tonight. Need some rest first now . . . tired, for no good reason.
