“Then she’ll carelessly cut you and laugh while you’re bleedin’â€?
So here we are at the start of my third week walking to work (although last week I only walked twice) and the Shuffle seems to be getting attuned to my brain patterns (an unadvertised bonus feature). Picking up on the fact that I was late for work this morning it gave me a more up-tempo trip than usual and eased me in gently for the return trip this evening.
There:
- “Bad to the Bone” - George Thorogood
- “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” - The Firm (Not the guys who did Star Trekkin’ but the ‘80s supergroup featuring Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers)
- “Silver and Gold” (Live) - U2
- “Tangram (Future Part)” - Tangerine Dream (This makes surprisingly good walking music)
- “See You in the Next One (Have a Good Time) - The Verve
- “Mexican Cantina” - Fabio Frizzi, Franco Bixio & Vince Tempera (From Carambola a 1974 spaghetti western)
- “I Still Miss Someone” - Johnny Cash
- “Siamese Twins” - The Rainmakers (It’s a shame Bob Walkenhorst hasn’t released any new material since his 2003 solo album The Beginner but at least many of Bob’s live shows, plus several vintage Rainamkers gigs, are available for download at Internet Archive)
And back again:
- “She’s Got a Way” (Live) - Billy Joel
- “She’s Always a Woman” - Billy Joel (The Shuffle was obviously in the mood for some lurve on the way home)
- “Whiskey Burnin’” - Larry Crane (Crane sounds surprisingly like John Mellencamp, though perhaps not that surprisingly given that the song is from Mellencamp’s film Falling From Grace )
- “I Love You” (Live) - Ocean Colour Scene (I’m partial to OCS’s retro pop/rock but this dirge sounds like Roy Orbison on a three week bender)
- “Twenty One Years” - Marty Robbins
- “Too Many Ways to Fall” - Arc Angels (Charlie Sexton + Doyle Bramhall II + Double Trouble’s rhythm section, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon + Little Steven on production = classic blues rock album)
- “Motorcycle Driver” - Joe Satriani
Today’s post title comes from Billy Joel and “She’s Always a Woman”.
