Over the last week or so, I've had several friends here in Nashville mention the strange activity of our local avian population. As a fan of (and one scarred for life by) Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece, I am intrigued. Is it the above average temperatures or does it foretell some darkness to come... Who knows... we have gaggle of songs so let's get to the shuffle...
After the JUMP!
1. Come 'N Go by Bleu from A Watched Pot (2009)
Boston-area singer/songwriter. Was in a band called L.E.O. with Nashville rock legend Matt Mahaffey of Self. In-demand pop songwriter.

L.A. via Chicago Power pop band known for their intricate videos covers one of the most well-known alt-rock songs of the late 80s/early 90s.

4. Strange Kind of Woman (2002 Remix) by Deep Purple from Deepest Purple (30th Anniversary Edition) (2002)
British hard rock legends with a song released a single in 1971. The song later appeared as a bonus track on a reissue of the band's 1971 album Fireball.
5. Happy Death Day by Drunksouls from Revolution (2011)
French Indie, Reggae, Rock band with a song from their 16 song release Revolution. Devastating hooks b/w emotional/political lyrics.
A Different Drunksouls song...

These are the guys who powered the Motown sound. Dig this...

Rattle and Hum is not my favorite U2 album by any means, but I've always liked this song. "With a red guitar...on fire"
