The JMS 158: Rainy Day Music
Posted by Josh | Filed under The Josh Mormann Show
On the ride home today, it began to rain, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Sometimes the sights and sounds associated with an unexpected shower can hit the spot, and just make me happy.
Because I have a lot of work to do tonight on a side project, I don’t have time to go on about things, but it works out well, because there isn’t much I’m prepared to talk about tonight there is always plenty to say, but the theme of friendship needs a better soundtrack than I was able to scare up quickly. So these are just songs that either are about rain, remind me of rain, sound good with the rain, or have the same affect on my soul as rain.
It’s tough though, I’m starting to think of waaaay more songs I should have played. I’ll save them for another rainy day I guess.
Music Played:
Diamonds On My Windshield by Tom Waits
Wet, Wet, Wet, by Badly Drawn Boy
Alone in Kyoto by Air
Go Slowly by Radiohead
Back to the Old House by The Smiths
Quiero Libertad by Gipsy Kings
No Ordinary Love by Sade
Promenade by U2
The Same Deep Water As You
Now We Are Free by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard

The JMS 155: Late Night New Tunes
Posted by Josh | Filed under Me, The Josh Mormann Show
This is just a quick recap of my day, some good tunes and a sign off. Not much, I didn’t get started until late. I did it though. EVERYDAY I do this. I’ve gone back to my belief in quantity not so much the quality of content. I do quality in other areas, where the quantity or frequency is lower. By posting songs I don’t have the right to broadcast though, I can kinda make up the difference, so that works for now.
Music Played:
I Like Your Hair by Scotty Vanity
Leather and Lace by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley
Various Billy Idol

The JMS Episode 151: Back on, and in a big way.
Posted by Josh | Filed under Me, The Josh Mormann Show
Despite technical difficulties up the butt on this one. I’m posting Episode 151, and I’m up to no good as far as illegal music, but under fair use, I’m hoping that the fact that all these songs relate to my current life situation might get me some slack from the RAA.
Hell, if the RAA contacts me, I’d be glad. I don’t get enough circulation at this point for anyone to notice anyway.
Oh, and before you click this, know that there is a dead air gap and a click before it starts. GarageBand couldn’t bounce and compress this file. It was too big, and had too many extra files in it. It choked like 5 agonizing times before I gave up and just ran it through Audio Hijack Pro. And because I have nothing that can edit a raw MP3 that I know of, we’re stuck with this version for now.

The JMS 147: Sorry I’m Late…
Posted by Josh | Filed under The Josh Mormann Show
Howdy all, here it is, the first episode with Shazan!
I know it’s late. I’m really sorry. I’ve been… doing something I’m sure. I know I have an excuse somewhere. The file is huge, so beware. We just talked and talked… it was late, but it was fun.
Enjoy!

The JMS 146: Some Slow Songs
Posted by Josh | Filed under The Josh Mormann Show
I’ve decided that periodically and perhaps every Tuesday, I’m going to throw five songs up for your listening enjoyment. Today on the way home I was listening to Grace by Jeff Buckley and it inspired me to just play great music. I wanted to just play the whole Grace album, because it is one of my all time favorite albums, but I decided to close with Lilac Wine, and play some others in front. I put the lyrics in as well this time (as I’m sure you’ll notice).
Music Played:
Love Field by Elvis Costello
You lie so unfolded
In a love field
With your contempt for any modesty
In a love field
In a love field
In a love field
You yield with your lips still sealed
In a love field
Lost in a sea of imaginary women
Everything you’d want
from the dawn to the dimming
Breath comes sharp and heart beats faster
In a love field
Cold ground for a pillow
Under a blanket of stars
In a love field
In a love field
In a love field
Headlights that startled
This embrace of hours
In a love field
In a crooked house
Where things can be arranged
You think you’re different from the rest
But you don’t know how you’ve changed
Under an archway
On a road of white linen
In a love field
Feel the anxious rhythm of a functional stranger
In a love field
In a love field
In a love field
She’s so tense but it’s never mentioned
In a love field
Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison
You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant stop us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know shes alright
You know shes alright with me
Shes alright, shes alright (shes an angel)
You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
Shes my baby, you know shes alright…..
A posting to the van mailing list may/96 notes the existence of a lost verse to this song, here transcribed from a performance on the van morrison in ireland concert video:
Theres a rose pressed inside a bible
That she reads on the balcony
Shes sweet in slumber and Ive got her number
For the beginning of the century.
Van list member art siegel comments in nov/97 that I dont think the rose in the Bible is a true lost verse, but rather one that van added to his live performances years after the origin
Here is, though, a true lost verse which is in the original sheet music:
Ill tell a tale of old manhattan
Adirondack bus to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my numbers gonna show.
The dusty springfield cover version on the van morrison songbook cd has a variant of this:
I heard a tale of old manhattan
Ive never been there but I want to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my numbers gonna show.
Fluff by Black Sabbath
No Lyrics
Most of the Time by Bob Dylan
Most of the time
I’m clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the sign
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don’t even notice she’s gone
Most of the time.
Most of the time it’s well understood
Most of the time I wouldn’t change it if I could
I can make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive and I can endure
And I don’t even think about her
Most of the time.
Most of the time my head is on straight
Most of the time I’m strong enough not to hate
I don’t build up illusion ’til it makes me sick
I ain’t afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don’t even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time.
Most of the time she ain’t even in my mind
I wouldn’t know her if I saw her
She’s that far behind
Most of the time I can even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her
Most of the time I’m halfway content
Most of the time I know exactly where it went
I don’t cheat on myself I don’t run and hide
Hide from the feelings that are buried inside
I don’t compromise and I don’t pretend
I don’t even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time.
Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you…
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me… I cannot see clearly
Isn’t that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where’s my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where’s my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn’t that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love,
feel unready for my love.
