Night Shall Eat These Girls and Boys - "Where Did Our Love Go?"
This is a version of the song as performed when lost at sea. When slowly spinning in circles in a round little dinghy, with candles for atmosphere, and the supper of distilled salt water and dried seaweed having been joyously consumed. And when I say "joyously", please understand that it's all relative, this is as joyous, as raucous, as it gets for these men. But when the wind stops and the motion settles briefly, they keep on singing. An intention, a hallucination, being all they can claim as their own in this strange boiling air.
Luckily, they were being recorded by WCBN and were rescued instantly. They haven't spoken since. The band is still together, though. [Site]
The Dutchess and the Duke - "Mary"
I think this may be a misspelling of "duchess", unless this is a way of saying "a Dutch woman", and The Dutchess is indeed Dutch, in which case let's just listen to the song. A very certain period Jagger comes to mind, but in the same way hope comes to mind when you reach in the back seat and find a bagel. You eat the bagel and you feel nourished. It's delicious and keeps your mind on the road, and off the past. The nefarious, ungainly, mongrel, truant, restive, hideous past. [Buy]
