Katie Herzig “Hey Na Na”
I’ve been aware of Herzig for at least 5 years, maybe even more. I’ve walked into a club and caught the end of a set in some tame setting. I’ve seen her in line getting a burrito. I’ve heard a rhythm section talking about her songs. I never thought much of it, but I did have an underlying suspicion that she was a badass and that it was just a matter of time before I had the opportunity to see her in action. Well, I just saw this and now I wish I had of put a little effort into seeking out the truth behind my suspicion way back when.
Gordon Lightfoot “Sundown”
I thought about “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot today. I have not leaned on this song for ages, but I used to have it on loop most days of the week. In fact, my iTunes says it has 3,243 plays on my computer and I don’t think that counts the plays on my phone, or ipod, or the CD that used to be on repeat in the car. At three minutes, thirty-six seconds, that’s about 196 hours of Sundown on the computer alone. Maybe I was addicted? Mr. Mead had a little intervention with me about it way back and I decided to wean myself off of it. Well, anyway, today I went there and the love was still strong; like Gordon had never left, and like I had never broken his heart. It was really nice.
My Morning Jacket “Evil Urges”
I am more than ready to have some fun celebrating great songs and the emotions that come with them. It feels like this blog has been coming down the pipe for a while. Lillie and I are both deep lovers of music. We meet in 2008, in Nashville, in the midst of known and unknown musical giants. In honor of my first post, I am going to go back to January 2009. Lillie had emailed about yoga, and brunch, and a handful of awesome items to add to the girl team agenda. I was kind of stuck in disbelief about a Facebook post Lillie had made earlier that week, she had mentioned she did not totally get My Morning Jacket yet. My schedule had not come together and I could not commit to any of the abovementioned events, so I wrote her the following reply:
Lillie, How is the My Morning Jacket listening coming? I am thinking that you need to listen to “Evil Urges” (just the song, not the whole album), like 3 or 4 times in a row. If you are not wet and ready for action after that, then maybe we need to send you to therapy or really have a sit down and talk about what certain guitar tones and vocal inflections imply? xoxo, Rachel
