Here's a little Father's Day treat for any fathers in the audience, or anyone who has a father:
-
- Adrian Belew - Oh Daddy (MP3, 2.9Mb)
- A fun song featuring Belew's 11-year-old daughter Audie about his life as a rock star (and check out the music video, which is utterly charming)
-
- Ben Folds Five - Your Most Valuable Possession (MP3, 1.8Mb)
- An actual voice mail message from Dean Folds, Ben's father, set to music
-
- Bruce Springsteen - The River (Live) (MP3, 10.6Mb)
- This amazing live recording opens with a heartfelt anecdote about Springsteen's relationship with his dad
-
- XTC - Earn Enough for Us (MP3, 2.7Mb)
- One of my favorite XTC songs, about doing what you have to do to support your family
And a few for my dad specifically (but anyone can take 'em!):
- Less Than Jake - Mississippi Mud (MP3, 543Kb)
- WIU Marching Leathernecks - Hot Time (WMA, 612Kb)
