Hanspostcards singles draft — Round 9, Pick 10, “Black Star,” by Radiohead
“Black Star” is the 10th track on Radiohead’s second studio album, “The Bends,” which was released on March 8, 1995. The album produced six singles, but this wasn’t one of them. All tracks on the album were written by the band: Thom Yorke – lead vocals, guitars, piano; string arrangements Jonny Greenwood – guitar, organ,…
Hanspostcard Song Draft — Round 8, Pick 11 — “Spill The Wine,” by Eric Burdon and War.
I don’t remember the first time I heard, “Spill the Wine,” but I do remember being mesmerized by it. Flutist Charles Miller feels like the Pied Piper* as the protagonist is led to an altered reality as he decides to lay down in the grass on that hot summer day. I love how sounds and…
Hanspostcard’s Singles Draft — Round 7, Pick 12, October 8, 2021, “Wah-Wah,” by George Harrison (and Friends) from, “All Things Must Pass.”
For me, today’s pick was down to two of my most favorite top 10 George Harrison tunes, this one and “Savoy Truffle.” Both of them are simultaneously silly songs and pivotal turning points for George’s life and musical career. Tossing a coin, “Wah-Wah” won out. I know at least a few people in the song…

Hanspostcard song draft — Round 5 Pick 1 — “She Asked Me So I Told Her,” performed by T-Model Ford
T-Model Ford: a truly authentic bluesman Today’s pick has its origins for me from a soundtrack of a mediocre movie called, “Big Bad Love” (2001.) I don’t remember a lot about the plot of the film, but I do remember instant love for the music in it. I immediately bought the album. The compilation would…
Hanspostcard music draft — Round 4 Pick 2 — Foreigner Suite from “Foreigner,” (1973) by Cat Stevens
I knew I wanted to include at least one Cat Stevens song as I’ve listened to and enjoyed his music for such a long time. I feel guilty for not choosing others, but I’m happy to have chosen “Foreigner Suite.” Foreigner is Cat Stevens’ seventh studio album and the first one solely written and produced…
