John Coltrane - "My Favorite Things"

In honor of Coltrane's birthday on the 23rd...

Ladytron – "Destroy Everything You Touch"

In honor of the GOP…

Dixie Chicks - "Travelin' Soldier" and "I Believe in Love"

Both seemed appropriate...

John Lennon - "Gimme Some Truth"

Boy, after all the lies at the RNC, a certain song comes to mind... (The video volume is low, but much cleaner than the other version I found.)

Travis — “Selfish Jean” (live)

The Club Blue pick from 8/30/07.

This post concludes my retro project for older picks, unless I find new versions of yanked videos or videos that now disable embedding.

James Brown and Marvin Gaye

James Brown – "I'm Black and I'm Proud"



Marvin Gaye – "Let's Get It On"

We've already featured "A Change is Gonna to Come," so here's something to mix it up a bit. Here's to history, and to all those who made it possible, with a tune for the fighters, and one for the lovers. We need 'em both as we march to November, and beyond.

The Shins — “Australia”

The Club Blue pick from 8/23/07.

The Beatles - "I'm So Tired"

Just the track here, but a great one, which goes out to all my fellow insomniac bloggers...

Jorge Drexler — “Al Otro Lado del Rio”

The Club Blue pick from 8/16/07.

Tilly and the Wall – "Pot Kettle Black"

With the increase in conservative mudslinging, swtifboating and smears, this seemed sorta appropriate...
