Firstly, here's my portion of the "Song of the Day" project for 05/07/13 (Tuesday).

Dresden Dolls - "Girl Anachronism"



I was reminded of a homeless man I spotted on Alvarado Street in Monterey, CA when this came up in my shuffle last night. He was singing this, for whatever reason, and it was beautiful.

Glenn Frey - "You Belong to the City"



Another nighttime favorite ahead: check out the brilliant lyrics. Who else could compare a person's skewed mental state to "the mechanized hum of another world"? Gorgeous stuff.

Steely Dan - "Don't Take Me Alive"



I was so obsessed with this song back in '07. I was obsessed with Pat's entire debut album in those days. This song remains a comforting staple in my summertime night listening.

Pat Benatar - "If You Think You Know How to Love Me"



I remember when I had this as a ringtone that year:

The Human League - "(Keep Feeling) Fascination"



A few years later I learned to love what The Human League sounded like prior to their commercial success; this track in particular really stands out -

The Human League - "Being Boiled"



Which brings me to another point. I never imagined (and I was getting into this next song around the same time I discovered "old" Human League) DEVO once sounded like this:

DEVO - "Mechanical Man"



Though I must admit, I went out of my way to buy the "Freedom Of Choice" LP just because I really liked this song:

DEVO - "That's Pep!"



Which reminds me of another LP I worked my tail off to find, just because of a few particular songs, such as this weird song about pot brownies



This bizarre tune about Chief Kamanawanalea (Come on, I wanna lay ya)..



This super retro/groovy pre-freakbeat number -




And lastly... who could forget ...

The Turtles - "Elenore"



But wait, there's more.

The Turtles - "You Showed Me"



I feel a Turtles binge coming on.
