ALBUM OF THE WEEK: STREET MUSIC (REMIXES & SPIN-OFFS)
—A sequel to the I LIKE THE STREET album, “bicycle diaries” in song, culled from years of riding bike on the hard-boiled streets of San Francisco—filtered with film noir, “the dark sacred night,” and inspirations from David Bowie, Roxy Music, Erik Satie, and Velvet Underground, fashioned with flamenco, glam rock, power pop, and tango. STREET MUSIC contains 2 newer tracks + alternative versions/remixes. There’s a “stripped mix” of “If I Could Dress Like Clive Owen,” a “spy movie”/Yardbirds-influenced tribute to the British actor Clive Owen, backed by members of The Badlees + a Chris von Sneidern remix of “Kept on Walkin’” + a cover of “Lucky Old Sun” recorded by Robert Matthew Powell. This is music to get grounded with. Download yours today!
I like the street / I like the street
The hustle and the bustle and the people that I meet
The grifters and the star-struck, The poets and the drunks
The PhDs the jailbirds, The models and the punks,
The barkers and the preachers and the friends that I hold dear
Some will bring you aggravation, some will bring you cheer (beep beep)…”
