You can get into all kinds of crazy physics (e.g., quantum mechanics of Higgs bosan and the respective fields).

Or...you can think that deja vu is some form of mystery magical thing that just happens.  

So...no sleep for me tonight.

I cannot overstate how much you have improved my Radio Paradise experience with that simple tip. The animated GIFs drive me crazy, I always have to close the comments when one is showing, it makes it impossible to work with something flashing in the corner of my eyes.

Not sure what is going on, but currently the lyrics for Loser by Beck are displaying instead of the lyrics for this song. 

This is just not getting old. Volume up.

Ha.

I just got out of the shower and singing, and could have been harmonizing to this song. If I do say so myself. 

I love the easy, laid-back, slightly lazy drumming -- perfect. Looks like it's Carla Azar, who I saw live with Autolux many years ago, and she was fantastic. She's also played quite a bit more recently with Jack White and many others.

the production is thanks to T-bone Burnett. This song is heaven to me.

Smells of….snow

This song has been on RP forever (seem to recall hearing it back in the early naughts...) and it's really grown on me. Love the simple arrangement and vocals.

That's a very interesting point: Everly  Brothers.  Yeah.... I hear it.  

I am probably on my 75th revisiting of Gilmore Girls (or GG in my house), and we call this the "la la" moment of pretty much every poignant episode.

I'm sorely in need of a new series that comes CLOSE to GG in quality. Except season 7. That one wasn't good (but they lost their writer sooooooo).

It seems to me that there are several nice songs on RP that evoke the sound of the Everly Brothers -- this song, for instance, and several Alison Krauss / Robert Plant songs, including a few covers of Everly Bros songs; yet I don't think I've ever heard the Everly Brothers played here.  

Maybe that's just random chance, though.

Happy for anyone who finds something enjoyable... but to me Gilmore Girls always comes off as a failed attempt to mimic the Moonlighting (and His Girl Friday) dialog formula.

such a great song  cause you can sing along, make a harmony

even do it, walking up to the grocery store

I wish these GIFs and memes posted in here would disappear the next time the song appears on the RP playlist. Very annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying...

Love the show and this song....

Just what I needed right now

Back from the Spotify Wilderness in these times of turmaol for a little eclectic paradise.
Thank you for doind what you do and sorry for being away so long. The calming effect was almost immediate.

Cool vibes, just needs a little tweak to get the instrumental (especially drums) to chillax,

From the Gilmore Girls soundtrack: I never heard the full song before today!!

Flows beautifully. Nicely done.

I did the same thing today, though I might have done the 7 to 8 to 7 to 8 a few times now...the opening of this track is great and then it seems to falter a bit to my ears.  So....7.5ish and I'll leave it at 8 for now...till next time....Long Live RP!!

This song has a kind of East Indian feel to me, but I can't figure out why.

I used to love Sam and then I made it through 4 seasons (so far) of Gilmore Girls and I really can't stand hearing the la la las any more.

Good song!

7 to 8. Good Sam music.

Gilmore Girls :) 

Love it.  More Sam Phillips please, RP! 

Was.

Love that show—I'm working through it on Netflix now, although it can get a bit treacly at times. But hey, it's a great contrast to all the murder mysteries with detectives behaving like emotional zombies because of everything they've experienced. Great acting, good-great plots about nice people in a nice town. A lovely way to wind down at the end of the day.

Unfortunately the eaglets damaged the cable and wiring for the camera and it doesn't look repairs are going to happen in the near future.

My daughter and I used to watch Gilmore Girls together, it was our "date nite" every Wednesday, a chance to sit and catch up. She's now in medical practice, far away, and I only get to see her once or twice a year.

Hearing this gave me the farm fuzzies, I will admit. And I don't mind admitting that I liked that show.

Someday I hope they make a movie that is like Alien vs Predator, except instead of those two, it's KT Tunstall vs Sam Phillips, and they are both zombies. I think it would be a big hit and wouldn't be a stretch for either of them.

Perfect.

Lauren Graham rocks... BTW the Parenthood role was originally to be played by Maura Tierney, who had to pull out because of her breast cancer diagnosis.

I just came on to say Thank You, Parenthood for giving me back my (almost) Lorelai

Have never heard of this artist, but it's a lovely little number...

Good stuff.  Thanks B & R!

Au contraire!  I think this is a lovely, peaceful, simple song from a talented artist.  RP's greatest asset is its diversity of musical genres.  I'm glad to hear songs like this one. 

This is the kind of music that drags radio paradise down.

Big fan....great song!

Fleetwood Mac-ish

As cheesy as it sounds, I really like hearing the themesongs from various TV shows every now and again.  I remember when BSG came through, there's a little bit of "Aww, I remember how much I enjoyed hearing that..."  This makes me feel the same way.  Ok, it's embarassing to admit that I both like hearing old TV show theme songs and admit that I watched the Gilmore Girls...  ;)

Where are the Lorelais now?

Lovely voice. Really like Sam.

dmn they need to make a show equal to this one

I totally missed Gilmore Girls at the time the show was on regular TV, but I've been Netflixing it for the past few weeks. Now I really understand the whole GG thing — not to mention the beauty of Sam Phillips!

Is it wrong to love Sam Phillips... and by extension Gilmore Girls? How about the other way 'round?

Ditto everyone else on the Gilmore Girls. Oh the memories. :)

Love the minimalist production - such a beautiful song doesn't need a lot of adornment.

jenakle wrote: ditto. and jess.

Sounds like a demo,I would not listen through.

awww I want my Gilmores back :(

cjh7d wrote: yup, me too. "The Turning" is still one of my favorite album. Timeless.

I may be one of 20 people in the universe that has followed Sam from way back, from when she was a very mainstream Christian pop singer named Leslie (think slightly edgier version of Amy Grant) straight through to now. Then (1983?), I was a pretty straight-laced 14 yo fundie in small-town Indiana. Now, a less straight-laced 37 yo Episcopal. Probably oversimplifying to say that my journey paralleled hers, but there's some truth to it. The only piece of her Christian recording career worth checking out is "The Turning," her first T-Bone album, and last album before leaving that industry . . .

DULL. I didn't know it was possible to play drums that slow. What's the point?

abbefaith wrote: How do you figure that? Checking through the last 24 hours she's been played all of twice. Would that all the Clear Channel stations overplayed songs that way...

she is really overplayed on here...

You know what would sound great on the Gilmore Girls soundtrack? "Gloomy Sunday" by Heather Nova. She's so in touch with all that sort of thing and stuff. Blah blah blah blah I love Heather Nova. She rock the casbah, whoo-hoo.

mem_313 wrote: Wow! Great to hear someone else has had bizarre dreams after a breakup (thought I might have been alone, pardon the pun, on that one). Also, nice, simple way to explain why most relationships don't work out, even if it is a harsh reality.

I bought a Sam Philips CD at a shop in LA, and the clerk was really glad that someone else knew who she was. I proceeded to tell him all about RP

When Homer Simpson was asked about his kids, he said he loved Bart and Lisa. Then, when reminded that he forgot about Maggie, he said, "I got nothin' against Maggie." I got nothin' against this song. It's nice and soft. Hey, kinda like Maggie!

I am all for people candidly expressing opinions, and this is quite a nice tune, IMHO. What I am not for, is people disrespecting each other for their opinions. Opinions are opinions, not reflections of character.

On the guitar part in the very beginning, it sounds like Neil Young's "Pocahontas". Anyone else hear that?

Everybody is entitled on his/her own opinion. If someone doesn't like this quite nice tune, he/she stand in his/her right to use the puke icon. I think this is enjoyable music, but I'm very glad there are numerous other songs where I use the puke image not enough as it is.

DavidCarrico wrote: Wrong again, buckwheat.

Listening to Sam Phillips takes me back to 1992, and Cruel Intentions. I had just broken up an 8 year relationship, and living by myself for the first time. I kept dreaming about vampires.... She has a unique voice and i love her lyrics. Martinis and Bikinis is one of my all time favorites! Baby i can't please you...the eternal mantra of my relationships. I have stopped wanting to!

When it comes to the discussion of tunes here, I certainly don't subscribe to the "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything" mindset. However, I sure wish the puking emoticon would go away forever.

They use this song in the show \"Gilmore Girls\" every so often... never knew who it was until now... nice to hear it in its entirety.

If that were to happen half the people who love her now would say she USED to be cool, sold out, etc. Blah blah blah. Nice Neil Young/Beatles vibe I like it...

She gets absolutely NO play up here in Canada that I know of -- I think the so-called "alternative" station in Toronto played some stuff years ago, but that's it. That said, I have no idea why she isn't bigger, as everything I hear on RP sounds fantastic. Am going to go out and get Fan Dance as I gather this is a good "intro to Sam" album. Any other suggestions from her fans..?

Wonderful song. Had to buy the album.

Isn\'t this like the 3rd time in the last two days that this song\'s been played? I like it, but not *that* much:)

With all the behind the mainstream exposure her music receives, why hasn\'t this artist become more front line

Whenever I hear the opening bars of this one I think it's a Niel Young song. In fact its got a N.Y. flavour throughout. I hope he's getting a cut of the action.

Another great track from Sam Phillips. She really knows how to set a mood, musically. First heard \"Fan Dance\" on RP and ran out to get the CD, and have been a big Sam Phillips fan ever since.

This was very nice. Evocative, as Sam is wont to be. Nancy Heredia might also like to hear What Do I Do from The Indescribable Wow. Luscious, aching beauty.
