05-10-12: Is It Really Wrong That I Want To Be The BabyDaddy?

"The Same Love That Made Me Laugh" is a Bill Withers song that first appeared on his 1974 album +'Justments.  This week's mix features the original along with covers by Margie Joseph and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.

Previous mixes have featured the original version of Bob Dylan's "One Too Many Mornings" along with covers by Johnny Cash and Joan Baez as well as a live performance by Dylan in 1966. This week features a live performance of that song by Dylan in 1976 as well a live cover by Jerry Jeff Walker and Dylan performing with Johnny Cash.

The mix is bookended with the studio and demo version of Badfinger's "No Matter What".

One other song repeats: Frank Ocean's "Lovecrimes" with a cover by The Afghan Whigs.

The rest: Bo Diddley's teasing "Signifying Blues", Sparky D's vicious "Sparky's Turn (Roxanne You're Through)", Mike James Kirkland's orchestrated "Hang On In There", the Gang Starr b-side "The ? Remainz", War's percussive "Low Rider", a remix of the airy "Two Step Blues" by Little Brother featuring Darien Brockington, the shortest of the four officially released Village Vanguard versions of "Spiritual" by The John Coltrane Quartet and Chet Baker's iconic take of the jazz standard "Let's Get Lost".
