Music lovers, take note!

You've all heard the Zeppelin cover, but did you ever check out the original version of Dazed and Confused? In brief, it's genius and so is the album on which it was released. Jake Holmes' 1967 debut called Above Ground Sound of Jake Holmes never ceases to astound and excite me to the point where those vibrantly melodic songs reminiscent of both Tim Buckley and Linda Perhacs, yet altogether summery make my heart jump to my throat and my palms to my thighs, drumming out that little, naïve boy from inside of me. Though it clocks in at little more than 30 minutes, it's a well-rounded album that'll make you suckers beg for more posts. But for now, I'm out.

Oh yeah, and I'll post a song when the sun sets and my reptilian blood cools to a temperature that doesn't hinder sit-downs.

Edit: Dazed and Confused. Even if it's not one of the happy songs, it's a great one indeed, and it was already out there on the good ol' 'net. I'm lazy.
