McQuade & McQuade - Moods
Got to thinking last night about the album justapoorboy and I (never) made two years ago. Realized I never shared it on Tumblr and today felt like the right day. Here’s the tracklisting. (Sounds like this mixed with this.)
Ladies, form an orderly queue.
I’m willing to bet that more than a few of these guys would be willing to go to a Todd Rundgren show with me.

Mom and I spent last night combing through her old college scrapbook. She had all sorts of memorabilia from a Simon & Garfunkel concert she organized, and a little note saying that Leon Bibb bought her her first drink. And then we came across this.
“Who are these guys? I guess I saw them.”
“MOM, that’s THE YARDBIRDS.”
“Oh.”
“That one there, that’s Jimmy Page? He went on to be the guitarist in Led Zeppelin? And Jeff Beck? He was on SNL with Mick Jagger the other night?”
“Oh yeah.”
“Oh my god, Mom. YOU SAW THE YARDBIRDS. IN 1966.”
“Apparently I didn’t like them; I wrote ‘Ichhh!’ on the back of the program.”
(Maybe it was cool to say Ichhh! to the Yardbirds?)
HAUNTED - Mad EP feat. Lady Grew
Y’all, this is my SISTER. Isn’t she terrifically terrifying?
I couldn’t even begin to guess what the other song was going to be, no idea where they would start, what would be the first song of Afghan Whigs Opening Day 2012, and without the smallest musical cue they careened straight into “I’m Her Slave,” like they had never stopped playing it, like they had been playing it regularly over the past 10 years. I was listening to some older Whigs shows after the past few weeks and last night especially, wondering and worrying if it would be like I remembered, if it would be real and true enough to be more than nostalgia, if it would stand on its own merit enough. I should know better than to doubt Greg Dulli, because the band roared forward in fifth gear, no holds barred, a finely tuned machine and the tour hasn’t even started yet.

COME TO CINCINNATI!!!!1!!1!!!!!!!1!
(Related: Whigs’ bassist and Cincinnati resident John Curley is my favorite Instragram photographer. This one he took in New Orleans ended up being the cover for “See And Don’t See.”)

Charles Bradley performs “Why Is It So Hard” live on KEXP from the Bumbershoot Music Lounge. Recorded 9/5/2011.
Photos from this session at the KEXP Blog.
If you’ve never heard of Charles Bradley (as I hadn’t until a week or so ago, nor had most of the world until a few years ago), do yourself a huge favor and go listen to No Time For Dreaming. This man IS soul. When he performed this song at Nelsonville, I was cracked open with heartbreak for his story. If you have the chance to see him live (and you should: he’s touring the heck out of the world right now), don’t even hesitate.
