bobkast: #20: Tangled Wood Vines Twine

"Rosin Smells and Turpentine Smells From Eucalyptus and Pine"

Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled wood vines twine
Trees held us in on all four sides so thick we could not see
I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me
- Woody Guthrie

Inspired by some of my favorite Woody Guthrie lyrics, and one of my favorite interpretations, "Bobkast #20: Tangled Wood Vines Twine" is a collection of live songs recorded around the world at legendary venues, radio stations, back seats, basements, theaters and beaches. A mellow treat for those adversely affected by day-light savings.

classic: Mazzy Star

"Strange You Never Knew"

It's a woolly day in Greenpoint and while the sun is certainly shinning, I can't get Mazzy Star's narcotic "Fade Into You" out of my head. I really really liked this song, and its accompanying album, So Tonight I Might See You, when I was an adolescent, which, in retrospect, makes a lot of sense considering my fondness for woozy, celestial psychedelia. One of the most stunning and surprising hits of the '90s. Welcome to October.
