@kichigai Hope I'm not being ageist or whatever here, but I can pretty much do without an elderly woman singing to me about her "jelly roll" You can keep it, honey!
A very different side of Muzzy Marcellino: 1935 Ted Fio Rito - On The Good Ship Lollipop (Muzzy Marcellino & The Debutantes, vocal)
A li'l more whistlin' Touching the President, by Tall T & the Touchers Discovered this tune in an odd, long defunct blog with a name that isn't exactly accurate no matter how you interpret it: all whistling songs
These ladies often spirit me away to other realms, great stuff! Saw them live a few years back, and they were just phenomenal
An observation from a friend of mine: Do you think the "metal under tension, begging you to touch and go" danger zone and the danger zone where "the dancer becomes the dance" are close to each other? Obviously the first one is right off the highway, but the other one somehow involves turning movement into light, so I'm not sure. He continues: Looks like it was an especially troubling, but also frequently visited place between about 1978 and 1990.

^ What a grin maker! Thanks. Brought this to mind, for some reason: Can't quite figure why, but here we are. A different flavor of lazy, maybe. Swirlies - House of Pancake
One of my favorite bands from Boston. Swirlies took the shoegazing thing to a crafty art noise level stateside in the 90's. I saw them in Philly once. Great band live- love House of Pancake (Pancake with a house beat). I'll see your Swirlies and raise you Drop Nineteens and some House of Love:
Yeah, Swirlies were great. They rode the line between bendy pop and sweet, sweet noise just perfectly. I managed to catch them a couple of times when the lady who's name I can't remember was still in the band, once in Detroit and once, by a stroke of luck, at the Black Cat in DC. Good times. Here's some more Bostonian classics that I don't believe have been covered here yet: '77 '82 '91 Real Kids - Reggae, Reggae; Mission of Burma - Secrets; Magnetic Fields - 100,000 Fireflies
Boston in the brain... '76 '84 '90 Nervous Eaters - Loretta; Salem 66 - Pony Song; Buffalo Tom - Birdbrain
