one of my favorite songs

brenda holloway - all i do is think about you

i listened to brenda holloway over and over again in the spring/summer of 2010. beautiful voice with fantastic motown production. i love the chord progression of this one, it really gets under my skin

since you been gone - little janice

the days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer!

+ the guy at the beginning that says “shut up al green”

“i want a boy for my birthday” by the cookies

the cookies are really fantastic and it’s hard to find stuff by them or about them, and that’s a shame. i think i’ll do a post about them at some point

the three degrees “maybe”
