Spooooky.

Today a friend IMed me and asked if I ever listened to the doves. By coincedence, I was listening to "The Cedar Room" at the very moment when they asked me. It's the only song that I've ever really listened to by this band and my phase of listening to it all the time ended back in my freshman year of college. So yeah, it's kind of odd.

"The Cedar Room" by the Doves

The ensuing conversation led me to seek out some more music from these British fellows.

"Black and White Town" by the Doves

I feel like I've heard this before...

"(Love is like a) Heatwave" by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas

Ah, yes there it is. So maybe they had a little help with that chord progression, so what? They picked a great genre to jack from. Up the Girl Groups.

Heat Wave!

So I have my two cents to drop about the Takeover / Ether post and I have a summation of Sunday's show in Central park, but Shit man it's fucking hot out and I worked 21 hours over the past two days. So fuck it, I'll share my thoughts later. For now though, here's some weather relevant music.

"(Love is Like a) Heatwave" by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas

and... an irrelevant track by Martha and her girls that I'm just putting up because I love it, even if it kind of sounds a lot like "Heatwave".

"Jimmy Mack" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas
