I’m over Alice’s Restaurant, now I’m all about Nina Simone’s Sinnerman, which is not heard until recently for some reason. It's everywhere right now because it's the ending theme music to Lovecraft Country on HBO

Wax Fang is a band I found out about from American Dad of all places. On the strength of the song they featured in an episode ("Majestic"), I bought their album "La La Land," and it was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. This, however, is my favorite track of the whole album. Love this guy's voice and just the style of his playing. Very creative songwriting, too. Can't praise them enough.

This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs (The Nylon Curtain is his best album IMO), and this version is actually a very sweet tribute to Alan Cumming and also devastating emotionally.

Its kind of a depressing day, Monday. Not going the whole Boomtown Rats route, actually an up beat song:

The story certainly adds to the song. I was old enough to have a draft card, but too young to go to Vietnam. Some of the older guys would start to talk about the war on drunken nights in later years, calling it innocence lost does not begin to approach the toll it took on their psyches. The russian roulette mention immediately brought The Deer Hunter movie to mind, one of the most powerful movies(MHO) that I have ever seen.

Say what you will about whether or not it's a "true" Blue Öyster Cult album, it's got some pretty amazing songs on it. I've always loved the lines "stories on land, storms at see, 'tween 1892 and '93" and this verse
Ships charmed and ordinary Sailed the glidepath to the sun And when the sun proved false As it always does Some of them would be lost And some would sail back home It was no star But a magna of illusion
