Being out and about, cocktailing, you hear things you haven't heard before,
you rediscover old favorites, and start to like songs you hadn't paid attention to
before. A few things that are at the top of my heavy iPod rotation after this weekend..

YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELING (LIVE) - Elvis Presley
Yes, the King. I maintain that, no matter how many lame-ass impersonators try, for the
rest of eternity, NO ONE will ever be able to accurately duplicate the sound of the King. He had a quality, a passion if you will, in his voice, that no imitator can quite get. I think it's because he loved music so damned much. But more on that at a later date. This track is from the CD ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS, and it kills. Kills. The bass and horns are worth the price of admission alone.

BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS -Mojave 3
The ultimate driving song. It's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Gotta find a way to get home strong, gotta find a way back home...

IT'S THE NIGHTTIME -Josh Rouse
Josh Rouse should be a star of epic proportions. His music is just terrific. Great lyrics, catchy hooks, killer riffs, with a cocksure attitude and tongue firmly in cheek.

POLKADOTS AND MOONBEAMS - Bill Evans
One of the best piano players of all time, Evans' phrasing just gives me a taste for a martini and a quiet conversation. Wait right here, baby. Let me slip into something more comfortable. Why don't you slip into something, well....less.
