PS It’s cool to see a Ronson post Foreigner

Fucking excellent songs suggestions, everyone! It’s a little embarrassing that I don’t already have many of those in my library… a Gwen Stefani song pops up in my iTunes search before Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, or Neil Young does? C’mon Bill, don’t go out like that! I will say the search becomes a little splintered as I have two machines, my main desktop, which has one library on it, and my laptop, which has a separate library which I DJ from… If the hardrives were larger I might completely mirror the libraries, but that would add up to about 100gigs of music!
Yeah, Matthew… I was wondering about that Ronson post myself! And another fine list - I remember your suggestions from the ‘police’ post too.

Thanks Bill….

Waiting On a Friend is probably my favorite on the list. A few cool things about it (that you probably know):

-The saxophone is played by Sonny Rollins.

-In the video, Mick and Peter Tosh are sitting on the stoop at 96-98 St Mark’s between 1st and A.  That building was also used for the cover shot of Physical Graffiti.  There was a vintage store called Physical Graffiti in the bottom.  Keith shows up and they go down the block to the St Mark’s Bar (RIP) on the corner of 1st Avenue.  (But you know all this cause the Swish store used to be there)

Peace

I never knew that was Peter Tosh. I haven’t seen that video for years… I’m heading to YouTube now. Thanks, Matthew!
