Uyama Hiroto ft. Golden Boy - Vision Eyes

This sounded like some old school yacht rock until some dude starting rapping.

Yacht rock.  This concept is intriguing.

That song mentions many places in NC and was like the theme song when I worked at summer camp. Now the recorded version sounds shitty to me, because I played it and sang along with kids and dear friends so many times that summer. That is still the first chord progression I play when I pick up my guitar. What a great song. Did you know the chorus was a Bob Dylan fragment that he never finished?

I try not to think about the last time we all sang it together, and then my coworkers all started telling horrific racist jokes. WTF guys. Way to ruin my opinion of you forever.

Some people call Steely Dan yacht rock but I think that it only is in the most surface of ways.

If you scratch the surface, Steely Dan's lyrics are often about how horrible yacht rock people can often be.

I like to imagine Steely Dan songs beating the shit outta Jimmy Buffet songs in a back alley after having to pretend they were friends in a bar earlier than night.

Is there anything more rich-white-guy than being an artist who plays slightly esoteric jazz-rock about how much you don't like rich people?

Sounds like the JD Salinger of jazz-rock.

I've no idea what you are talking about. Steely Dan sings about hating rich people?

Steely Dan sings a lotta songs about reprehensible upperclass types, certainly.

Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel

Lot of fiddle and down-strums lately and I'm liking it fine.

I love this video so hard.

Did you know the chorus was a Bob Dylan fragment that he never finished?

It's relatively easy to find a download of The Genuine Bootleg Series which contains this (titled Rock Me Mama). It's worth checking out if one is a Bob Dylan fan. Even better is A Tree with Roots, which is basically The Genuine Basement Tapes (which I think it used to be called). If you've listened to the I'm Not There soundtrack, you've heard the song by the same name that was previously only available on this bootleg. It's such a fuck*ng amazing song it's a wonder it never got an official release or a better recording, though I love the recording.

I ordered a Bonnie Prince Billy record from this label called Black Tent Press and now I guess I'm on their email list. I get tons of emails from bands and record labels because I ordered something at some point and I tend to ignore them. Anyway, I got an email this week from Black Tent Press about a new album from this band called Fist City. It had a link to a free download of the album along with a plea that you buy the record, so I checked it out. I like it quite a bit. This is my favorite song: http://fistcity.bandcamp.com/track/boring-kids (not the same recording as the one I have though, it's a bit noisier).

bang on the drum all day-live at daryl's house

i guess a bunch of people get together with daryl hall and jam?  anyhow, this version seems like the perfect song for an outdoor gathering in the backyard with your favorite dudes and ladies.
