I needed some live Leonard Cohen for this lazy Sunday morning (afternoon). This performance from 1979 tastes like a big fat chocolate cake, delicious, ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’:
Enjoy!

Strange Days Indeed
This was the first John Lennon song I remember hearing when I was a kid and I had it stuck in my head for weeks, ‘Nobody Told Me’:
Enjoy,

Lucille Come Back Where You Belong
Little Richard, one of the absolute rock-and-roll originals, showing us all how it’s done:
Enjoy!

MP3s Don’t Come With Posters
I found this vinyl treasure at Bop Street Records (thanks Sam and Catherine for the gift card!) and I’ve been in heaven all afternoon. Wings Over America, 1976. The lights are low, and the bass is heavy, and it’s a 3 disc set.
Heaven.
Since you’re not here with me listening to this record, here’s a video, it’s not the same, but it’s still pretty rad:
(however, Denny Laine’s vocal mimicry at :51 seconds is inexplicable and inexcusable. Stay away from cocaine.)
Enjoy!

Hold On, I’m Coming!
Damn, Eric Burdon just kills it here:
Being introduced by Otis Redding can’t be too shabby either.
Enjoy!

Fats
This song by Fats Domino must be hundreds (ok, maybe dozens) of years old by now, but still seems fresh as ever:
The video is out of sync with the audio in this live video, but the performance is so solid and I love the horns just cruising around his voice, nice and easy.
