I came across a Kelly Hogan cover of a Magnetic Fields song today. It made me think about going to the Downstairs (back before it was whatever fratty bar it is now) and buying $3 bottles of Strawberry Hill or really hot red wine and listening to Kelly and the rest of The Jody Grind. I liked those days.
Check out the jukebox for some kelly.
My favorite Kelly Hogan song is also a cover. On the album The Bottle Let Me Down she does “Rubber Duckie” and it’s much sexier than it needs to be…
I remember those days well. It was hotter than hell down there, wasn’t it? Don’t think I was old enough to drink yet, but I do remember that it was so smoky that I had to cover my nose and mouth with a glass just to breathe… . Good times.
