Valentine's Day hearts tend to spill into Spring. Blossoming, new beginnings - everyone needs a few favorite love songs. I'm sharing mine with you - for your listening convenience you can click the playlist and listen all in one go ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Velvet Underground could have ruled this list easily.

Sample lyrics - I'll do anything for you, I'm sticking with you.


Sweeter than Jethro Tull.



But sometimes the best love songs aren't about skipping down the street arm-in-arm with someone you love. Sometimes they're about shrugging your shoulders and admitting you have no idea about love.



Relationships with un-dateable people.

Sample Lyrics - In the spring it was nice, We made love on your bed twice.

Finding that 'special' someone.

Like how he misspells Girlfrand.

Love songs not actually about love rule.

Sample lyrics: If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,

I'd put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.

Long intro that's almost another song. 

Stick with it for two minutes. That's all I ask.

Does it matter that you don't know what she's saying?

Unless you do and that's awesome.

If this were a 'real' playlist here's where the transition would happen.

Sample lyric: I met her at the Burger King we fell in love by the soda machine.

And finally something to slit your wrists to - 

✝✝✝✝✝ Hope you enjoyed it ✝✝✝✝✝

[[Paul Collins]] [at] [the] ]bishop[

Last night I attended one of the best shows I have ever seen in Indiana. I had never visited the Bishop before. The venue was decent-sized, an all ages show, and well attended. 

Free tickets. That's right.

Tasty Beer. My first time to try 3floyds & I was happy with my $3 pint.

It was the Anniversary show for Landlocked Records, and they did it big. There was even cake -

Charlie &; the Skunks played first and totally rocked my socks. They have kinda a grimy, psychobilly thing going on. Their myspace says they're from Bloomington, but a few of the people at the show said they hailed from the same north Indiana town as The Half-Rats, Lafayette. The Half Rats sounded really tight, a melodic surfy, old R&R vibe. One of their former members is now in CoCoComa and they recently toured with Shannon & the Clams.

Dancin' shoes.

Before PC came on, a random chick told me to come up front and dance since "Paul likes it when girls dance," so I stood mere inches from the band and even got to flash them in the face with my camera phone.

If you don't already know, Paul Collins Beat, his previous band, wrote Blondie's breakout single Hangin' On the Telephone, which Paul delighted us with. I recorded a couple short videos - uploaded on my youTube if you'd like to check it. Please excuse my camera skills :)

Sneak a peek at the set list.

After the show I got the chance to talk to Paul and some of the guys from the Half Rats. Paul is a nice, sweet guy, who has been making good music for awhile. He seems really excited about the current revival of garage rock, and promised to return to Indiana someday.

get lost!

After the show some friends and I went to a bar I'd never been to before and played skee-ball and a random game where you skate little discs across a wooden table covered in sand. Kind of like mini-curling over sand.
Such a fun night! I will definitely be back to The Bishop and can't wait to see more of what Bloomington music has to offer.

Normally I don't go in for that artsy, trippy, type of jam but for this one makes me jump outta bed and greet the day.

Don't hate, appreciate.

Back home in Indiana

While researching tracks from the newest 'House of Wild Delights,' I discovered a trove of music from my home state, called Indiana45s. This is why I love you internet. I haven't had the chance to extensively investigate but Indiana45s is 'A resource dedicated to documenting and preserving the music and history of Hoosier artists.' The first gem is from swaggin' 60s group called the Torkays.

 

Karate seems to be their only single, but you can check it out here - 

If you know of any resources for 45s, ellebeezy needs to know xoxo

It means Merry Christmas!

coochie,coochie,Christmas!
