People are agitating for music. And something to do with small tootsies. So here’s some Little Feat:
I’m going to bed.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.
The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.
It’s the corruption, stupid.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.
“woke” is the new caravan.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.
The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.
Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
Innocent people don’t delay justice.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.
We still have time to mess this up!
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.
You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.
Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Why did the Little Feat cross the road?

@redshirt: You didn’t show your work.

@seaboogie: @redshirt: You all let it go or I’m posting the video from Frozen!
seaboogie
A current instrumental fave….Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn
seaboogie
@Adam L Silverman: He started it! Heh. Sleep tight, Adam.
redshirt
@seaboogie: It’s about 1000 meters.
Dog Dawg Damn
@Adam L Silverman: Frozen is anti-Semitic.

@redshirt: Don’t be coy, boy – tell me how I was “horrid”.

Ah, Caligula, Deservedly gone, but still not quite forgotten.

A lovely piece of syncopation. I play it once every couple weeks when I need to make my soul sway.

Little Feat hooked me into Balloon Juice. I thought nobody else remembered them until I read John’s effusive praise of Goodbye Columbus.

I honestly don’t think I’ve drunk as much alcohol in my entire life as I have this year. 2016 is sucking.
DivF
@Mary G: I came upon Little Feat via Bonnie, Linda, and Emmylou.
It’s been icing on the cake To find congenial musical tastes here.
Steeplejack
Small tootsies? How ’bout some “Popsicle Toes”?
seaboogie
@Steeplejack: Thank you hugely, Steep – that brings back some fond memories…

@DivF:
Lowell George and Little Feat did a lot of work on Robert Palmer’s (excellent) early albums (and also toured with him). “Give Me an Inch.”
DivF
@Steeplejack: +1. Haven’t heard that in a few decades.
Steeplejack
The Meters also worked on Robert Palmer’s early albums, and this is one of my favorite late-night songs by them: “Stormy.”
DivF
@ruemara: Also, haven’t forgotten you just commenting on my phone is slow.
Hang in there, you’re among friends here.
DivF
@Steeplejack:
When I get in A Mood, the late 60s early 70s set looks like
Meters
Booker T and the MGs
Santana
Tower of Power
And a few others- you get the idea.
Steeplejack
@DivF:
Oh, yeah. Maybe a little El Chicano? “Tell Her She’s Lovely.”
DivF
@Steeplejack: nice.
ETA: off to bed – gnite all.
Steeplejack
Malo, “Suavecito.”
Steeplejack
@DivF:
One of my favorite early Santana songs: “Treat.” I used to be able to play the guitar solo, but that was one time, on my best day ever, with a following breeze.
Steeplejack
@DivF:
Night-night.
Steeplejack
@DivF:
Okay, I don’t know why, but somehow Joe Jackson needs to be in there too: “You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want).” I think it’s the strong horn section.
seaboogie
@Steeplejack: And from that era…Fine Young Cannibals
seaboogie
@seaboogie: Okay…sometimes the computer supplies an older link to the new thing...anyway,
Steeplejack
@seaboogie:
LOL, still getting Joe Cocker. “She Drives Me Crazy”?
Almost the same beat: Cameo, “Candy.”
seaboogie
Fuck me to high heavens…this is what I get for tweaking redshirt…
seaboogie
I’m going in for one more try
This better fucking work. And finally….
Steeplejack
@seaboogie:
Success! (Apparently. If that’s what you were going for.)
seaboogie
@Steeplejack: I know. Upon review its kind of lame, but nostalgia, and Roland Gift was pretty hawt back in the day. Heh.
seaboogie
@Steeplejack: What I don’t know about music is absolutely everything, and I admit that without reservation. But I did want to get a late night musical thread started for you and Omnes, so please pardon my lack of taste and credit the intention. You all will educate me musically…. Really hope this link works….
Steeplejack
@seaboogie:
Great song! One of my favorites.
Here’s one I’ve been watching a lot lately: an incandescent performance of “Fine and Mellow” by Billie Holiday.
And I’m off to bed shortly.

Why wait for Mardi Gras to listen to the King of Funk?

@Steeplejack: Man, the looks exchanged between Billie and Pres in that clip are just wonderful.
