Sister Marie by Harry Nilsson from Ariel Ballet
A surprisingly edgy tune
with heavy beats and guitar effects that stands out from the rest off
this otherwise mostly pleasantly poppy album.
Led Zepplin – Irwin with the Hoof and Mouth Sinfonia
From the finale of WFMU's
2013 Fundraising Marathon, this group of middle-aged DJ's play this
tribute, originally by the group Carey's Problem, which was delivered
from the point of view of a swooning teenage girl (one of series of
songs portraying a contrived premature decadence that gets old fast)
over a tricky 5/4 groove. I'm intrigued by the absence of any
reference to Physical Graffitti, both in the verse that ticks off the
Zeppelin albums otherwise in sequence, but also in the list of song
titles that makes up the majority of the lyrics.
