This live performance of [Richard Elliott doing Stiletto Heels](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXPFXIZl--s)won’t get out of my head, it’s SOFA KING good … not that I want it out … so bouncy and right … I’ve also been listening to the background music of Playboy Fantasies videos … nice, jazzy tunes that are very good for getting work done … so long as you don’t watch the videos, which are … distracting. Sorry, can’t provide any links, as the Playboy Fantasies are not floating around anywhere on the Web that I know of, and I don’t know who did the music … wish I did. ---

[Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears - Boogie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yjo4c5doxM) I DARE you to sit still while listening to this song! I recently re-discovered how much I love this song - [U2 - Seconds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28z5aTiN4UI) (from the “War” album). It’s from back when U2 was awesome. ETA: Why you people post songs you love but not a link to a video? Why I gotta do your work for you? ---

L’Agonie du Languedoc, not exactly on your top 40 list. and sorry, no videos. Blondebear comment made me think of this because it seems to be recorded in a church, and at the end of one tune (vinyl, yes, it’s that old) a bird chirps while the music fades. ---

I’m a nerd. I’m listening to Tchaikovsky’s [1812 Overture](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8). Heck, sometimes you can’t beat the classics though. They asked him what percussion he wanted and he said “Cannons.” ---

Just discovered **Lucius**. Well, actually, I’ve heard them for about 8 months now, but just found this performance: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/8Pk_2dVPjms/maxresdefault.jpg "Lucius: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pk_2dVPjms) It opened my eyes to how talented the girls are, and I appreciate how they do a lot with little at this venue. At ~ 9:00 the song, _Turn it Around_ comes on… one of my favorite earworms these days. But stay tuned after that for the percussive freelance that shows in Genevieve. ---
