Last good song you listened to?

I've always just kind of known them for doing quirky little tracks like Pretending To Be Drunk or I Wish I looked A Little Better, but this is next level:

Listening to this now, lost count of the number of times i've seen chan. She's awesome.
 
It's not often that you get a song about Joey Ramone...

wow, some good stuff here - I haven't heard the Last Poets song probably in ages (decades), though the lyrics were displayed a Black History Month exhibit recently and the Gil Scott Heron takes me waaaayyy back too, same with the Youngbloods - always was a big fan of Jesse Colin Young

my new favorite is another from a beer commercial, funny though that listening to the entire song and watching the video, it sure does not seem like it belongs in a Blue Moon Commercial

"you can walk your long legs baby right outta my life..."

makes me think of Oogum Boogum, the song in that Kia Commercial

why I am not more familiar with Mayer Hawthorne, he's a throwback who seems to be the genuine thing
 
yowzah, yowzah...

somehow I got on a YouTube string of oldies by The Specials, great stuff, starting with this one - - and now I've run through Gangsters, A Message to You Rudy, Do Nothing, and Poor Little Rich Girl - great stuff!

Oh, this is nice.

I got kind of randomly turned on to Benjamin Clementine a few months ago - I saw a picture of him, and wondered who he was, listened to some of his music and loved it. Like a modern, male, Nina Simone.

Dude Clementine is great, I've been into him for a couple of years can't wait for him to tour. He reminds me of Nina Simone too.

Saw Beth Orton on Friday night, she still has it.
 
Here's a woman who never got the recognition she deserved, at least not in the States:

wow, I'd forgotten all about her - and this song was my personal anthem at various points in my life (typically when I realized the end of a relationship was approaching)
