New songs for August 7th, 2023

 here they are:


"Every Chance I Get" by Dan Auerbach: Imagine, if you will, a cross between Canned Heat's "On the Road Again," The Doors' "Love Me Two Times," and Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky." The Black Keys frontman has just released a song that is pretty much that. You'll swear you stepped into a time machine to the late 1960's after hearing this psychedelic blues-rock number! In case the song itself didn't sound "sinful" enough with its slinky, seductive vibe, the music video for the song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8baM8oySjqw&t=115s) features a (presumably) female skeleton doing what appears to be a striptease for a bunch of (presumably) male skeletons. As skeletons are already stripped of their skin, I don't see how this is even possible, but apparently, it is! It's like watching a more risqué version of the "Skeleton Dance" cartoon that Disney did back in the day! 


"Evicted" by Wilco: Our only other song of the week also starts with the letter E, and it is also influenced by psychedelic rock, but more the whimsical side of it than the blues-y side. "Evicted" brings to mind groups like The Beatles and The Beach Boys in a similar way to how Wilco albums like their widely acclaimed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot did. They do not mean "evicted" in the literal sense either, but rather in the sense of ending a relationship. "I'm evicted from your heart" Jeff Tweedy sings during the chorus, following it up with, "I deserve it." Using a word like "evicted" is an interesting way to describe the end of a relationship, but such is the magic of Wilco!
