02-25-10: In My Head, The Weather Never Changes

This week's mix features Sam Cooke's hit "Good Times" as well as a cover of that song by a very young version of The Rolling Stones.

Also repeating on here is "Rich Woman": the original by Li'l Millet & His Creoles as well as the recent cover by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss as well as two versions of Bob Dylan's "Honey, Just Give Me One More Chance": from his second album and from a studio rehearsal several years later.

Other stuff: the sweet "Love Is Here" by The Futures, the melodic "The Good Thing" by Talking Heads. the Afro-centric rap of Two Kings In A Cypher with "How U Figga?", a version of the Burt Bacharach standard "Walk On By" by East Of Underground, the airy "Feel Good Factor" by The Hermit Crabs, the poppy Jesus & Mary Chain b-side "Rocket", the original version of Barry White's "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra with vocals, April Stevens' pleading "Don't Do It", Ted Taylor's funky "Somebody's Gettin' It", the bouncy "The Fuzz" by Diane & Caroles With The Latin Whatchamacallits, the Buckwild remix of the spacey "Rock On" by Funkdoobiest, the dazed "Astro Travellin" by Quasimoto, the innocent "Now That School Is Through" by Cindy & The Playmates, Grant Goodeve's cheesy television show theme "Eight Is Enough", Cal Tjader's mellow "Nao Diga Nada", the rhythmic "Morning Sun" by Al Barry & The Cimarons, the hopeful "I Know There's An Answer" by The Beach Boys, the spiritual "Go To Me With That Land" by Blind Willie Johnson with female backing vocals by Willie B. Harris and the dreamy "Clear Day" by Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions.
