Supreme Beings Of Leisure "Never The Same"

Here's another Weekend Post:

Well, I've officially been doing this so long, that I think songs from the early 2000s qualify for weekend posts, as throw-back tunes you (and I) may have forgotten about.

In fact, I had this song in my head yesterday, but I could not come up with the name of the song or the band.  I was stuck on the fact that it samples The Turtles.  It's probably been a decade since I've actually listened to it, but it still sounds good . . .


Hear the song on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Afghan Whigs "Going To Town"

Back in my 20s (in the early 1990s), I was dating a woman who worked for an Oldies radio station.  I accompanied her to a station event, at some kind of fair.

A reconstituted version of The Turtles, with a few of the original members and some other hired hands, were trotting out the classic hits of 25 years prior.

I was young, but I knew the music, via my parents.

The song "Happy Together" now crosses my mind any time a long-defunct band reunites.

Are their guys in their 20s, who now regard the early 90s alt-rock explosion here in 2012, the same way I regard the hits of the late 60s?

Is "Going To Town" an angry, alt-rock "Happy Together"?

The Afghan Whigs have reformed and are touring again.  And they've even recorded some new music.

You can refresh your memory of the very awesome songs "Going To Town" and "Gentleman" plus hear the new track.  And if you like it, you can get a free download at the Afghan Whigs website.
