Music You'd Better Listen To - Booker T & The MGs

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

Booker T & The MGs - Green Onions

Website / Myspace / iTunes

—-

Forgive me for the past two days; the parents have been in town, and I’ve been spending my nights (my usual writing time for this blog) with them. I don’t feel like I let myself down, so I hope you feel the same.

I was with the ‘rents tonight, too… we went out to Fogo de Chao (I think that’s the name), this Brazilian steakhouse on Lasalle. It was a fun time, definitely a restaurant experience. Very unlike our other huge restaurant experience on Thursday night: they took me to Alinea, for which I am DEEPLY grateful.

Heard this song tonight on the radio while cabbing back home and was reminded of its insane funkitude. Green Onions is one of those rare timeless, cultural-group-less track; a song that will work wherever you are, with whomever you’re with.
