That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #24
He Was Really Saying Something by The Velvelettes (1964, Motown/V.I.P. single)
This inexplicably brilliant Motown track really has an energy and a verve to it that always spoke to me at a young age.
That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #23
“Once Around the Block” by Badly Drawn Boy (The Hour of Bewilderbeast, 2000)
This track, from a jaw-droppingly perfect debut album, has remained one of my all-time favorites.
That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #22
“Merry Go Round” by The Replacements (All Shook Down, 1990)
This track is ballsy, straight-ahead-rock-form. In some alternate universe this gem is on classic rock stations everywhere.
That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #21
1968’s Beggars Banquet was a return to bluesy-form for the Stones off the heels of their underwhelming “Satanic Majesty’s Request” and had some of their very best and well-known songs. While “Jig-Saw Puzzle” isn’t nearly as well-known or celebrated as most, it’s always been a personal favorite of mine.
Featured Artist Favorites – Portishead
Like we tend to do every Tuesday, here are our favorite songs from the artist we’re featuring this week. Here are our Top 10 Favorite Portishead tracks ever.
That Dandy Classic Track of the Day #20
On their 3rd LP “Check Your Head” the Beastie Boys incorporated live drumming and played their own instruments. “So What Cha Want” is a great example of what they were going for during the early 1992’s as they were establishing themselves as career artists and making a bid for long-term relevance.
