Night Driving - #7 Blaugust 2026
Here's another song the radio introduced me to:
The Whitby Maid by The Outside Track
Pretty simple story behind this one. I used to work the night shift and I would try to tune into the local college radio on my way home. They played many songs I had not heard of. They didn't have anyone introducing the song choices so if you liked the song you had to try and look it up later by recalling the lyrics. This song eluded me for awhile until I could remember enough of the lyrics to find it. Here's some other songs I discovered from the same station (can't say I really listen to these anymore, but I was surprised I remembered them!):
-She Loves Everybody by Chester French
-Symphony of the Nymph by Ariel Pink
-Place in the Ground by Kait Lawson
-Dead River Blues by The Incubators
-Ghost by Sky Ferreira
-Begging Me by Florrie
-The Golden Age by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
-Tigers by Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks
Certainly unique stuff I normally would not have come across. Azuriel did a Blaugust post on discovering music here. Check it out!
