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.
So many bastards, so little time.
Not loving this new fraud based economy.
There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.
Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.
Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.
One way or another, he’s a liar.
An almost top 10,000 blog!
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
This blog will pay for itself.
We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.
They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.
You cannot love your country only when you win.
Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…
“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!
Giving up is unforgivable.

Why did the Little Feat cross the road?

@redshirt: You didn’t show your work.
Adam L Silverman
@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.
