I love listening to "Servo" by the band Brian Jonestown Massacre. My favorite version is this particular live track, available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwSXoTNVvNE, recorded live in 2007. I will listen to this on (automatic) repeat for multiple times. BJM is a 'modern' band founded around 1990 in San Francisco. Most members are eligible to be AARP members. They are way too young to have been around for the first wave of "The San Francisco Sound" of 1964-1970, but they have certainly learned this craft well.

I don't even need to listen to, or understand, the lyrics. I enjoy the vocals, their rhythm and tone (I enjoy a lot of non-English lyrics the same way). But it's the wall of sound, the guitars, bass, drums, et al, that carry me away on this track (it's 1967 SF driving rock and roll). I did some research on this phenomena awhile back and I am not the only one who enjoys this type of sound and not the only one who listens to songs on repeat. I especially like to do this when I am focused on a task.

@WebWiseWoman I remember PP&M well and faithfully. I hadn't heard of his passing, sad to hear of. ...off to blow the dust off some old LP's now.

Superstar, Carpenters

This beautiful song from 1971 is about a groupie

in love with a rocker after a one night stand. It was

written by Delaney&Bonnie&Leon Russell. Some

trivia: Karen did the vocals in one take with the

lyrics written on a napkin by Richard. She was a

supreme talent gone too soon. This is their best

and my favorite Carpenters song 🎶💜

A nice song. I'd forgotten it was Delaney & Bonnie (remember them and "Friends"?). I wasn't a Carpenters fan at the time but came to appreciate them.

One of the bizarre musical experiences is listening to the cover of this song by Sonic Youth, a much later band. The first time I listened (only a few years ago) I thought to myself "no, is that..., is that not...?" And it was. I've liked Sonic Youth for a long time but I don't like that cover. Though thinking about it, maybe its disturbing nature is more appropriate for the bizarro nature of the groupie's love infatuation.
