What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

The sounds of silence, broken by one of my computer fans going wonky every little bit so I have to wack the case every once in a while. :mad:
 
You Can't Get What You Want (If You Don't Know What You Want) - Joe Jackson (his best work, I think)
Long Hot Summer - The Style Council
Poor Girl - John Doe (acoustic cover of the song he wrote for and first performed with X)
Forever For You - John Doe
Do Right Woman, Do Right Man - Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham (Dan Penn co-wrote this and just kills it live, not that Aretha didn't)
Crazy Arms - Marty Stuart (featuring Ralph Mooney, who wrote it, on an instrumental version featuring Ralph on pedal steel)
CC Rider - Nashville West (featuring the great Clarence White cutting loose much more than usual on his pre-bender tele)
The Sadies with John Doe live at Sonic Boom Records in Toronto, April 2009, with Dallas Good playin' his ass off on a b-bender tele like the one Clarence White co-invented:
Stop The World and Let Me Off
Husbands and Wives
I Still Miss Someone
Dawned On Me (John Doe co-wrote this with Exene Cervenka and first performed it with X -- now I want to learn it; oh happiness, I recognize the voice doing Exene's vocal part on the studio album: Kathleen Edwards!)
The Have Nots (another X redo in a different venue, this one a bit less country and more true to the original punk vibe)
Are the Good Times Really Over for Good (different venue)
Kathleen - The Blasters (that closing back and forth between Gene Taylor and Dave Alvin -- a frequent John Doe collaborator -- oh my)
Speaking of Gram Parsons:
High Fashion Queen - Chris Hillman & Steve Earle (vastly superior to the original, IMO)
Blue Eyes - Uncle Tupelo (vastly superior to the original, IMO)
Send Down An Angel - Allison Moorer (with a very skinny fellow walking around Joshua Tree wearing Gram's original Nudie suit)
Speaking of Kathleen Edwards:
Back To Me (with John Doe as her much older boyfriend in the video and a special appearance by Gram Parsons' daughter Polly as a policewoman in Joshua Tree)
I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory (featuring Marty McSorley in the video, who she mentions in the song; this video makes me so happy)
Goodnight, California (live versions are best IMO; great slow groove and guitar solo by Kathleen's then-husband)

Yo Zeb...

I like your playlist, but I wouldn't call Demi Loves Auto or Knuckledrag "Oldies".
