Bob Dylan — "All Along the Watchtower"

The Club Blue pick from 11/30/2006. The live version I had has been yanked, so here's a fan vid to stand in.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings — "100 Days, 100 Nights"

Here's a nice retro video from this contemporary "old-school funk and soul band." Here's their Wiki entry and their Fresh Air interview. (The Dap Kings have also backed Amy Winehouse.)

Dido — "Thank You" (live)

The Club Blue pick from 11/23/06.

U2 — "Beautiful Day"

Happy Thanksgiving!

Neko Case — "Hold On, Hold On"

The backup vocals are more subdued in this mix than in the released track, where they work to greater effect (sorry, the sound designer in me). But this is still a good take, and a good intro to Neko. Here's her Wiki entry and official site.

Jimi Hendrix — "The Star-Spangled Banner/Purple Haze"

The Club Blue pick from 11/9/06.

Koop — "Koop Island Blues"

Camera Obscura — "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken"

The Club Blue pick from 11/2/2006. I have an earlier post on this song here.

John Lee Hooker — "Boogie Chillen'"

With Clapton and the Stones. Perfect for All Saints' Day, since if this doesn't get ya movin', you're already dead.
