The ONE reason I like Mondays
Today’s episode of Tom Petty’s Buried Treasure on XM40:
Pete Townshend – Rough Boys
Jimi Hendrix – You Got Me Floatin’
-break-
The Chartbusters – She’s The One (shameless Beatles imitation played from a slightly warped lp, which gives it a nice sound)
Little Eva – The Loco-Motion (could’ve done without this one)
Dave Clark Five – Any Way You Want It (trying to be psychedelic)
The Beatles – You Really Got A Hold On Me (now the previous three make sense)
Dee Dee Sharp – Mashed Potato Time (could do without this one too)
-break-
The Pyramids – Penetration (instrumental surf song. Tom related a story about them- the band members all had their heads shaved bald, but would wear wigs during their concerts. Halfway through the set, to the dismay of the crowd, they’d rip off their hair. The original surf-rock skinheads?)
The Rolling Stones – Money (deeper, dirtier, and grungier than the Beatles version. Never heard it before, and it’s great!)
The Rascals – You Better Run
Van Morrison – (Straight To Your Heart) Like A Cannonball
-break-
The Who – A Legal Mater (like me, Tom Petty seems to prefer Pete Townshend on lead vocals over Roger Daltrey)
Jimmy Reed – Bright Lights, Big City. (from the album “live at Carnegie Hallâ€?. Only problem… it’s not recorded live. Vee-Jay put a compilation together of songs that might have been played at Carnegie Hall at some point.)
Bob Dylan – Sweetheart Like You (Wow. Love this song! Produced by Mark Knopfler) Lyrics & Audio Clip
-break-
Gene Vincent – Be-Bop-A-Lula
The Yardbirds – Too Much Monkey Business
-break-
The Beach Boys – Cabinessence (nice way to end the show)

“Now the press is down / the boss ain’t here /
he’s gone north for a while”
at least those are my interpretations of the lyrics.
I remember finding “Infidels” on CD and feeling like I had found a gem I had to hurry up and buy before someone else in the used record store saw it and tried to take it from me. When I have had an exceedingly bad day, I come home, lay down and listen to that song over and over.
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris are in Chicago the last Sunday of June … There’s only one way down from here, baby, it’s called the land of permanent bliss.

Just how much abuse will you be able to take?
Well, there’s no way to tell by that first kiss.
