Mystery Song 025

…is now posted. Last week’s Mystery Song was "Let Me Play With It" by a wonderful kooky old band called Hartman’s Heartbreakers.  I can’t decide whether they’re jazz or western swing, or if I’m lookin’ at the birth of rockabilly…!?

Mystery Song 024

Last week’s Mystery Song was Johnny Buckett’s "Let Me Play Wit’ Yo’ Poodle".  One song always reminds me of another one…!

Mystery Song 023

…has now been posted. Last week’s mystery song was "The Rib" by Jeannie C. Riley.  Ripped it from the vinyl, sorry for the pops ‘n’ hiss.

Mystery Song 022

I think the very best mystery songs are the ones I rip from my own vinyl collection.  I was lazy last week and posted a song I’d gotten off the internet somewhere, probably back in the Napster days.  It was "Huggin’ and Chalkin’" by Hoagy Carmichael.  An exhibition of terribly poor taste, and this week’s song isn’t much better.  But I shan’t be talking about that until next week.  :-)

Mystery Song 021

I posted a new Mystery Song. Last week’s song was "A Thing Call The Jones" (sic), a funky jam by Chico & Buddy, and I certainly hope you enjoyed it.  I don’t even have the vinyl; I had to rip it off an old mix cassette.

Mystery Song 020

…is now online.  Last week’s mystery song was "Split Personality" by Smokey Joe Baugh with Clyde Leoppard and his Snearly Ranch Boys.  That’s a mouthful!

Mystery Song 019

…is now posted. Last week’s mystery song was "Horns Or Halo" by Sweet Eva Lena Chenault.  I ripped that off an old LP that Jason Molina gave me.

Mystery Song 018

…is posted.  Last week’s mystery song was "Flowers Of My Heart" by Sparkle Moore.  I really hope you got a chance to download that one!  But if not, this week’s song is pretty special too.  :-)

Mystery Song 017

…is posted.  It’s a little late so make sure you get it before Wednesday when I (supposedly) post the next one!  The last Mystery Song was "Don’t Judge Me" by Girls With Attitude.

Mystery Song 016

…is posted.  Last week’s mystery song was "Never Ever" by Liz Anderson.  Liz is (was?) a country crooner of the Fifties, and the mother of Lynn Anderson, of "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" fame.  (I have several of Liz’s records, and none of Lynn’s, because I’m just a contrarian.) If you thought "Never Ever" was looney, you should try to find another song Liz did called "Mama Spank".  That one’s truly perverse.

Mystery Song 015

…is good to go.  Last week’s mystery song was an old favorite that I ripped from my (not very impressive) collection of weird 45s.  It’s "The World Owes Me A Living", from the Grasshopper and the Ants record / book on Disneyland Records, (c) 1968.  There’s no artist credited but I’m sure June Foray’s in there somewhere!

Mystery Song 014

…is now posted for your enjoyment. Last week’s mystery song was "The Alphabet Song" by Floyd Robinson.  Wow, what a surprise!  ;-)

Mystery Song 013

… has just been posted. Last week’s mystery song was "Kaettekita Yopparai" by the Folk Crusaders, and I certainly hope you enjoyed it.

Mystery Song 012

… has just been posted.  The last mystery song, which I ended up leaving online for the past month, was "The Best Individual Song On The CD" by The Fucking Pigs. I hope you enjoyed it.  :-)

Mystery Song 011

… has just been posted.  It’s a very small file, but very smelly.  Last week’s mystery song was "Stoned Again" by the lovely miss Norma Jean, a singing starlet of the classic country persuasion.  I hope you enjoyed it, as I hope you enjoy the current one.

This particular Mystery Song will probably be staying there until I get back from Europe in the middle of November.  That is, unless I can find both the time and the energy and the material to change it whilst traveling, which isn’t entirely likely, but is still within the realm of possibility.  So you should probably just grab it now, lest you be surprised by an early switcheroo.
