• Song 391: DumDum Club
    I will admit I was never the biggest fan of The Clash.  I liked them fine, and saw them as one of the acts on a Day on the Green in the Bay Area, but I own one album by them.
  • Song 392: Do The Strand
    I’ve always liked Roxy Music, it was just different than the rest of the stuff out there, with some curious lyrics.  And I love the late albums by the group, but maybe my favorite song by them is “Do The Strand”.
  • Song 393: Life On A Chain
    So many of the songs I love from this millennia snuck by me without notice when first released. So is true for Pete Yorn’s “Life On A Chain” and I’ve only been enjoying it for the last five years or so.
  • Song 394: Happy Xmas (War is Over)
    You probably do hear Happy Xmas a bit this time of year. It’s one of John Lennon’s best, though.
  • Song 395: &Run
    Sir Sly isn’t a household name. I honestly don’t know if I ran across them from radio station WXPN or some other way. But “&Run” is an earworm, and the vocals are absorbing.
  • Song 396: Dizzy
    Dizzy is at the top of bubblegum pop created at the time, by Tommy Roe.
