Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 11

Cinco de Mayo – War  Once you hear the lyrics,  you’ll realize that this is not about the Battle of Puebla in 1862.   A Summer Thing – Cayucas  Indie pop from Santa Monica.   Salad Days – Mac DeMarco This Canadian rocker’s been called “rude, crude and obnoxious,” but he sounds like pussycat on this track.    (Give Me Back My) Bunty Bunty – The Bombay Royale Don’t be surprised if this band made it’s way into a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack.   The Jitterbug Waltz – Fats Waller The Fat Man at his creative best, this 1942 lullaby brought a little lighthearted respite to a nation at War.     I Got Stoned And I Missed It – Shel Silverstein  What else would you expect from the guy who wrote “A Boy Named Sue” and “Cover of The Rolling Stone?”    Sing A Simple Song – Sly & The Family Stone B-side to ‘Everyday People’ – could have been the A-side.   Highway Down – Black Bananas  Electric rock funk from Jennifer Herrema’s new outfit Black Bananas. Not like the Royal Trux at all.   So It Goes – Nick Lowe  Traditional pub rock from the master of pop – also the first single released on Stiff Records.   California Dreamin' – Bobby Womack R.I.P. Bobby Womack.
