"The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" is a song by #folkRock duo #SimonAndGarfunkel, written by #PaulSimon and originally released on their 1966 album #ParsleySageRosemaryAndThyme. #CashBox called it a "sparkling, spirited lid". The song is named for the #QueensboroBridge which spans the #EastRiver between the #NewYorkCity boroughs of #Manhattan and Queens.

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)
Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself. Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making this, their debut, the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language. This language choice and the lyrics sung in that language were a revolutionary political statement. Released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark, the album would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule.

Joni Mitchell – Blue (1971, Canada)
Our next spotlight is on number 281 on The List, submitted by baz. Because k.d. lang’s cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Case of You” last spotlight was so good, here’s the masterpiece that has the original, from another absolutely iconic Albertan and Canadian.

Love – s/t (1966, US)
Our next spotlight is on number 1043 on The List, submitted by mark_ohe. This debut album opens with a wild Burt Bacharach cover, and then Arthur Lee's fantastic voice keeps taking you places that require the volume to continuously be turned up. If you love love (and proto-punk, and the High Fidelity soundtrack), you might just love Love's "Love"!

Amazing one for #MusicWomenWednesday. Japanese-Canadian singer/songwriter Saya Gray put out her magical debut album 'Saya' last Friday. Folk, alt-pop + rock sensibilities, synthy electronica & heavier guitar sometimes too. Saya's voice and finger picking- wow. 
I mentioned Belgian multi-instrumentalist and singer Wim De Busser's project KING DICK last December in the post linked above this one, when he released single 'Romantic Love Shrine' (GREAT song) from his LP coming later this year.
And now King Dick just released a second single, 'Trolling My Feelings', and of course it's just as damn good. This one's on YouTube, not Bandcamp. Really looking forward to this LP.

A side note, I thought of the song because it amused me that it's exactly 4:20 long, as @nic noticed about The Cardigans' cover of Iron Man. Represent.

When I listen to music, 80% of it is alternative rock adjacent. I leave that last 20% open for a songwriter like Sunny War. Her music is infused with Folk, Soul, and Rock too. Looking forward to Armageddon In A Summer Dress, due on February 21st. Three songs from the album are here:

It's windy and rainy and overcast and downright dreary outside (what's new, amirite?) - so let's lean into it on the #MittwochMetalMix and enjoy some nice and #Doom -y #FolkRock
