52 Songs #4: Ben Vaughn Trashpickin'

As you know if you listen to the podcast, I like Ben Vaughn. I've seen him many times and his music has been a soundtrack to crucial moments in my life. He's from New Jersey, just like me, and has made his own quirky and successful way in the world of music. I like Ben's serious songs, but my favorites are his silly, clever tunes like this one.

This week: Ben Vaughn, Trashpickin', released in 1988.

There will be more Vaughn in these 52 Songs. Stay tuned for Rhythm Guitar. Ben, I want you to know that I ducked out of my own wedding reception to see you at the Green Parrot in Red Bank.

52 Songs #3: Re-Flex The Politics of Dancing

And now for a REAL change of pace. I ran a record store from 1984-1989 and my musical tastes (and collection of vinyl) was entirely shaped by that experience. Consequently, I have a real fondness for this type of EXTREMELY 80s music. This one-hit wonder band was one of my favorites.

This week: Re-Flex: The Politics of Dancing, released in 1983. I don't I ever got to see them in person (which is quite something, as I saw a LOT of one-hit wonders back them, including Men Without Hats), but my best friend and I fixated on this album and listened to it over and over again. Like the best 80s synthopop, it's got a driving beat, overwrought vocals, and a fantastic hooky chorus. I'd give a a solid 10, because it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.

Info on the band here.

Does anyone have mp3s of Humanication?

52 Songs #2: Whaling (Finn Bros)

This week's song is the tune "Whaling", written by Dave Dobbyn, and here performed by Neil and Tim Finn. This version is from 1988 and was recorded at KCRW when the boys did acoustic performances of a bunch of songs. After many years of listening to Finn music, I can confidently say that I prefer Neil and Tim together over pretty much anything that they've done solo. They are each musical geniuses, but when they are together, it's magic. Just listen to the harmonies on this song, and how they make the words sway and roll to the wave-like rhythm of the song. Just magic, I tell you...
