All I Want

This is a good one, from probably one of the most underrated bands out there, Toad The Wet Sprocket.

This is their 1992 hit, All I Want.

I first heard this song back in 1992.  Jay Leno had just taken over for Johnny Carson and 'Toad' played it.  I was staying with my grandparents and I'll never forget how instantly I fell in love with the song, it just had a good vibe to it all.


I'm gonna see if the magic of the inter webs can help me find the same clip from the tonight show, please hold...........

The interwebs didn't disappoint!   Such a great song and fun memory for me.  

On the Bound

This sort of song is what happens when you get a rad production team, decent lyrics/songwriting, and an angry chick with a piano.


Here's Fiona Apple's "On the Bound" which is the opening track of her 1999 album "When the Pawn...." (fun fact, this album title is a poem that Apple herself wrote:  When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might so When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right.) 

I first heard this song when I saw a used disc of the album back in 2001.  I was curious and thought I'd give it a listen.  It only took 3 minutes and I instantly bought the record, which has gotten years of listening by both me and my wife. 

Yeah, here's the song y'alls.

Theme Song- Mr. Ed

This one came waaaaay out of left field today.

Here's the worst theme song to possibly the worst TV show of all time, the talking horse Mr Ed.

Do you remember this one?

If You Like It

Quickly, I'm going to share the song stuck in my head today, which comes from a local (Salt Lake City) band called The Brobecks.  Check them out if you're curious, they're pretty great.

Today's song comes from their 2009 album "Violent Things."  It's the opening track, the song is called "If You Like It."

If you like it, the song I mean, leave a comment, or whatever.

Hugs, Brady

Come Around

Gabe Dixon plays piano and does it well.

He started his career playing backup piano for McCartney while he toured and then ventured in to solo work.

The song stuck in my head comes from the debut album of The Gabe Dixon band, 2002's "On a Rolling Ball."  It's the penultimate track on the album.  The song is called "Come Around."  It's about a couple who is fighting.  The protagonist of the song is patiently waiting for his lover starts treating him better.

This is a fairly unknown song- I sort of like the intro, what I consider to be muffled piano- his voice is rad, the piano is great.

I dig the song, here it is.
