Junior Kimbrough

10 full minutes of mean ass blues. I think the Junior's wife was right, the Keys did it right.

Effigy

Uncle Tupelo's blazing cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic. I first heard this on the No Alternative compilation sometime around 1993-4. Just a solid song from the quiet start through to the destructive ending when the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

You're A Winner!

Sweepstakes! by Gorillaz, feat. Mos-Def



Just an awesome layering of details and color. One of the best tracks on the album, by far. Just try and not shake your ass.

Keys on Leno

Man, it's hard damn work sitting through an entire Leno show...

Mother Nature's Son

Jack White performs the Beatles classic in front of President Obama and Sir McCartney at the recent Library of Congress Gershwin Prize event at the White House. Full show will air on PBS July 28th.

Watch the full episode. See more In Performance at The White House.

I love this song and love White's note-perfect rendition. From Paul's occasional nods, it seems he approved as well.
