Source: Wikipedia
Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994) was an American songwriter, singer, pianist, and guitarist, most popular during the 1960s and 1970s. For most of his recordings, he did not use his first name, and was credited only as Nilsson. Despite some spectacular successes, including two Grammy Awards, Nilsson's tendency to make broad stylistic jumps from one record to the next and his iconoclastic decisions kept him from capitalizing on those successes. His most well-known ...Read More >

Such a great little New Orleans influenced bluesy number with a memorably sparse arrangement. I am not sure who wrote the original, but there is a much earlier version by Louis Jordan in the comments.

This one goes out to a Mog friend who says she doesn't know the song.
I wish she could hear the best version!

The idea of this post is to try to create a musical path or mix of certain elements (cover, sample, or auditory minutiae that can connect the tracks) of a song and see how far you can go with it. This is a test of your music geekiness, so rack your brains and see if you can add to the post.
For example I'm starting with Aimee Man's cover of Harry Nilssons One which will be followed by The Beta Bands Won which uses a crucial sample from that song to construct their song.... MORE

This is the song that brought Harry Nilsson to the attention of the Beatles (Lennon, really). A slight recording, it lacks the anger and bile of Lennon's version (w/The Beatles), and replaces it with a vulnerable whimsy. So How 'bout this one, then?... MORE

...is this place in Baja California just south of Ensenada where the ocean builds up in crevice in the cliffs and eventually the water shoots out of a hole in the top like a geyser. It's pretty neat and a fun local tourist destination in the Ensenada area - more so for the Mexicans than whitey (they don't tend to venture off much further south than the harbor in Ensenada). Every time my best friend and I go south of the border, we make sure we do a pit stop at La Bufadora (... MORE

Hello, my name is Kate and I am an addict. A vinyl addict. I first realized I had a problem when I was 16. I should have known it would be impossible to save money while working in a record store. As time goes on my addiction has gotten worse, and recently I reached an all-time low.
On vacation in the northwest, little did I know that I would almost go broke (my wallet and my back) buying records. Damn you Oregon and your incredible record stores! Why did I need to buy... MORE

Harry Nilsson was admired by The Beatles for his unique pop sense. I don't know much about him, but I absolutely love this song, which was sampled by Blackalicious on the Broken Arrow LP. The picture is Nilsson accepting a 1969 Grammy.
His work spans ballads, 60's pop, 70's rock, folk etc. The whole Anthology is a great listen. What's stands out to me the most is his sense of playful humor, and outstanding song craft. Each tune stands so well alone.... MORE

Preface: I originally was not going to post this because I did not want to ride on the coat tails of Ben Gibbard. I'm not wholly certain of the statute of limitations on "post overlap." Case law is fuzzy, as always, and the statute books are clearly _not_ up to date (still list "sodomy" as a felony and for some reason you can't park your horse in front of a synagogue or a supermarket on Thursdays)
So I walk to school most days. It's not too far, and it's a nice walk ... MORE
