XTC, “One Thousand Umbrellas”
I love the way it follows “Ballet for a Rainy Day” on the same album. Two very different songs that go together very well, especially during a very rainy week.

Dixie Chicks, “Lubbock or Leave it”

Swamp Dogg,”Resurrection”
A new song! First heard on KPOO radio 89.5; Swamp Dog specifically asked that this song be debuted on March 6th, 2007. Beautiful Stax Volt feel on the verses with passionate righteous, but never clopying, testimonioal vocals before its more hip-hop chorus kicks in to then give an award to Carrie Underwood.

Bill McKibben on The Thom Hartmann Show
McKibben’s organization, “Step It Up, ‘07,” may prove to be an ally. I like that he appeals to the feeling (however he uses spurious statistics to back it up) that more people in America are unhappy than they were in 1956, and attributes it to the fact that more people have fewer friends, because of the acquisitive material ‘progress’ that is sold us at the expense of basic trust and grassroots community building. Ah, nomad nation, etc….

K.C. And The Sunshine Band
Because sometimes you just have to…(well, maybe YOU don’t…)

Totally agreed on the XTC song(s). It’s necessary to include both on any mix that attempts to include one of them.

I think that a big part of why it’s almost impossible to separate those 2 tracks on Skylarking is because of the Abbey Road-esque way it ties together. That was producer Todd Rundgren’s idea, BTW, which like many of his ideas Andy Partridge initially rejected. However, once the album was finished, recognized that Todd was right. Furthermore, one of my favorite songs on that record, “That’s Really Super, Supergirl”, was initially supposed to make the album since Andy didn’t want it on there, but fortunately Todd overrode that decision, too.
