DIG IT

Los Feliz

Consider time
It comes and goes
And you're left wondering just where it went
You're its slave
You're its prisoner
It leaves you in forever torment

Tomorrow

To the lonely and invincible of the earth
To endure and then endure
Tomorrow and tomorrow
Dear God

DIG IT

Low Down

I can laugh and I can cry
I can ask myself why, why, why
I can live a life that's as real as it gets
Pick myself up when I'm blown to bits
I can be good as good as can be
But will that be better
Better for me

Pisano & Ruff

A groovy set of bossa-inspired tunes from guitarist John Pisano and French horn player Willie Ruff, and produced by Herb Alpert.

DIG IT

Ghosting

I am not here
And you are not there
Nobody is anywhere, anywhere
I thought that I knew you
A humble boast
I thought that I knew you
But you're a ghost

Cover girl: Susan Gil, whereabouts unknown

Wolves

I stand accused
Of a wrong I did not do
And I sound nervous in my deposition
You see, innocence's a trick of paperwork
Whereas guilt is the human condition

Rare record from Canuck band.

DIG IT

Western Daylight

That summer by the lake
There was a boat house and a pier
We sat around a fire
Told some stories and drank some beer
One day you swam too far
We didn't hear you scream
I still wonder if it was real
Or something from a dream

Eastern Standard

I scream at you but you don't hear
You flash an evil grin
"I am Henry the Eighth," you say
"And you're my Anne Boleyn"

20 Golden Greats

Rare comp collecting songs from A&M/Mayfair.

DIG IT

Something Strange

Never fit in here
Never fit in there
No matter how I tried
I never fit in anywhere
Did what I could
To accomodate
But all of my efforts were in vain
And that's how it always will remain

Jimmie Haskell

Completely bonkers record from the recently departed Jimmie Haskell. Features Joe Walsh on a few cuts.

DIG IT

Trouble

Poor old Fred
He passed so young
No more pearls
Will fall from his tongue
Woe is him
But more woe is me
I gotta a big ol' hole
Where my heart used to be

DIG IT

Harpo's Blues

This girl of mine
Has blue-y blue eyes
She pulls at my heart
Each time she cries
I never knew
I wouldn’t have guessed
She holds my hand
And I feel blessed

The Friendship RIng

The past is filled with peculiar ghosts
It’s best to let them all go
'Cause when you start to really stir things up
You find out stuff that you don’t want to know
Like how much you don’t matter
Or how much your ex got fatter

Also known as Memphis Black.

DIG IT

Wild Blue Yonder

Putting out the last of the garbage
Sam says, "I'll see you next year"
I'm about to say I won't be back
But Sam went to get a beer
And I'm left here to ponder
Over the wild blue yonder
