Neither are close to being rarities, but Mercy Mercy Me and Changes still sound pretty great.

And without Changes, Flight of the Conchords would lose half their act.
Let's get right to it.

Hey Mike, in your NYC days did you ever get to The Levee, or was already gone then?

Having a whiskey and rye there would have been a pilgrimage for me.

I have no idea what you're referring to. A bar?

Yes, "I went down to The Levee, but The Levee was dry", meaning out of hooch.

BOS to Carly Simon, "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be."  One of the most haunting records I've ever heard.

Take me down, Little Susie, take me down....

There's a local musician who goes by the name Little Sue who is completely bankrupt in the talent department, but somehow always manages to get asked onstage whenever the Minus 5 play. Driving me crazy, I tellya.

Another great nugget from Carly Simon, which DM has played to great effect in the last year or so.

Mike, did you see my question on Wed's April 1 KWSD thread?  Just curious.

ETA: I see you already did.

And one for the Gaz-man: Never Been to Spain.

DM's played a good share of 3DN, but I don't think he's Been to Spain either.

ETA: I'd forgotten that this, like Joy to the World, is another Hoyt Axton comp. They sure boosted his bank balance in '71--two HUGE hits both from his pen.

"In the Summertime" is a cruel joke to hear as I watch sheets of rain outside my window before a slate-grey sky.  I think Friday Funtime will be an all-"rain" set today.

It's also in the wrong year -- it's from 1970.
