As you know we started off with a song off Choking Victim’s only album with a a song called Five-Finger Discount. Then came the Slits, shoplifting. Then was Jane’s Addiction’s most popular song, Been Caught Steelin. And finally we had To Catch A Thief by Lovage, off their only album. Do you remember that name from last time – World Day of Remembrance of Road Traffic Victims? 
Ya know, music is one of the only things I buy first-hand. And I try to give my cash as close to the band as I can. Hand it to them while their working their own march table at shows. Or see if they have a BandCamp page. Most everything else I get from rag-and-bone-shops.

Oscar Brown Jr

0:45:10 (The fourth piece of music Rev. ruins by talking over: First Track by Paper Tiger off of Made Like Us)

That was the: actor, poet, playwright, activist, songwriter, and singer, Mr. Oscar Brown Jr. from his flawless record Sin & Soul… And Then Some that was Rags And Old Iron. Before him we had a song that took me years to find, perhaps because I was looking under Ike Turner rather than The Family Vibe but eventually I found the Garbage Man. And immediately previous to that was Macklemore & Ryan Lewis preaching fiscal conservatism with Thrift Shop (featuring Wanz). And at the top we had The White Stripes with Rag & Bone.

Weather today you’re; cutting up you’re credit cards, going to something free, donating old stuff, or just staying home trying not to buy anything online, it can be tough. Greed is insidious and can grab ahold of your brain, and before you know it, for some reason, like The Magnetic Fields, you want a Zebra.

Rasputina

0:59:20 (The fifth piece of music Rev. ruins by talking over: Prelude by Bonobo off of Black Sands)

Those who just electro-swing danced their way through your brain-meats were Coco & Kike. I’m not sure which, but one was trying to get a Diamond Ring out of the other. Before that we had a song introduced to the world by the comedian and actress Carol Channing. That however was a spiced up take by Ms. Marilyn Monroe Vs. Swing Cats from the Psychobilly Box compilation. That was Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend. Prior to that there was Rasputina from their strangely beautiful album How We Quit the Forest. That was Diamond Mind. Now I’ll let Nina Simone take it as she bumps together 2 songs from the musical Hair. And counts what she Ain’t Got No of, then reminder herself that still, “I Got Life

1:13:35 (The Final piece of music Rev. ruins by talking over today: Mano De Mono by Corrosion Of Conformity off of Deliverance)

That was the one-of-a-kind voice of Howlin’ Wolf (accompanied by Bobby Bland) Goin’ Down Slow. Before that we had Dean Martin with I Got The Sun In The Morning And The Moon At Night from his Just For Fun record. Then we had some of my Favorite Things from Me First and the Gimme GimmesAre a Drag. And as I’ve mentioned there was the too-good-for-this-world Ms. Nina Simone with Ain’t Got No/I Got Life. 

Now friends, you can trust me when I tell you that I’m playing this next song because I love it and it fits perfectly with today’s theme. And It’s not just because I left out a syllable when I said their name in The 4th day of July show. This is Conor Oberst with his other band Desaparecidos.
