I've been there. I've spun the flip (BUZZZZZSAWWWW) several times, too.
Now: Pavement - Grounded
You know the last song on that record... Earth Song or some shit like that? That song kills me. Its really good. I would repeat that to death if I had it on me right now.
The last song I listened to twice in a row is by some rock band and the song is called New York Kiss (I think) and he's all like "Turn On The Bright Lights". If I remember correctly I don't like any of that band's other songs, but that one is really nice and does something for me.
particularly the way he sings: "but there's just one little thing...that I DEMAND of you...just be true...to me!" Did you hear that! "That I DEMAND..."
Last night: shrimp in tomatillo sauce with rice and a lot of red wine, fire in the hearth and these songs on repeat were hitting the spot:
Freddie Scott - Hey Girl - One of the sexiest good-bye songs ever. Perfect balance of sweetness and force. Another gem from Carole King. Hey, girl, now sit yourself down I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
The Techniques - You Don't Care - Beautiful soulful vocals, but it's the sparse recording that keeps you wanting more.
Laurel Aitken - I Got To Have Your Love - Fine, but I got to have your voice in my life.
Plant and See "Witches Brew" wow! Heavy! Been needin a couple more songs to finish my stoner mix Volume 2 and I think I found the centerpiece! Like the Wool track but better!
The Beatnuts "Let Off A Couple" - Dope and too short
Not even 2 minutes... did the same back when 'Street Level' came out, matter of fact I remember having that album on repeat... when that track came on though I'd always flip it back at least once...
got Eddie Holland's S/T LP the other day(raer son, although there is a chip in it that renders the first songs on side one and two unplayable , otherwise its mint)
anyway the facemelter for me is the last song on the album, "Gotta Have Your Love"...
NWA "If It Ain't Ruff" - MC Ren could kill it when he wanted to
Hell yeah. I was thinking the other day that Ren is seriously underrated. Like he's kind of the unsung hero of that group, yet (IMO) if it weren't for him N.W.A. wouldn't have the same magic.
I just cleaned then played my copy of Syl Johnson's Sock It To Me/Try Me 45 about 5 times in a row, hoping I could coax some last bits of life from it's thrashed grooves, I really love this record but it is beyond dead. I am hunting ebay for a replacement copy

because i was learning it. tough tune. listened to it enough to hear that he actually makes a small mistake at one point on the guitar

Upsetters "Congo Dub".... bout the one and a half minute mark the track ignites on
For maximum effect, intersperse with "Row Fisherman"... could listen to a 90 minute mix solely outta these two tracks...

The Lost Generation:The Sly,The Slick,The Wicked

Last song on repeat: Jay-Z "Roc Boys"

"and I aint got shit to say/ to people who aint got shit to say/ except don't rap/ don't sing/ just match your shoes to your trucker hat"
