Honey and the Herbs – Croona Lumbago

This is a song by a local band which has been stuck in my head since I first heard it. Going to their album launch tonight!

Beautiful trumpet playing, excellent harmony singing and a laid back bossa nova groove. And to top that, an excellent video!

The Beach Boys – Breakaway

Very complicated backing vocals and harmonies on this one. Must have listened to it about 500 times before the performance!

Isaac Hayes – By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Full length version. Heartbreaking and sexy as hell at the same time. Some Hot Buttered Soul for a sultry Sunday morning.

They know the way to be happy.

Mansun – Wide Open Space

No idea why this popped into my head. Used to singing it with my old band though. I could do a better job now (with the acquisition of “twang“) though!

The Kinks – Lola

Probably the best pop song about a fling with a trans woman.
