you, dave, and everyone he knows RSS

i am dave (E-M or L.F or FB). i am known to rock out on occasion, have a vast depth of knowledge about hockey, and am the proud bearer (barely) of a degree in political science. if you enjoy led zeppelin, craig finn, post-modernism, whiskey and good beer, have a nerd-like obsession with logical thought and laugh at things no one else really finds funny, we are probably compatible people and you will probably enjoy the blog.

thisismyfavoritesong:

“I Heard It Through The Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye from In The Groove (1968).

In The Groove

Whenever I hear this song, I always get nostalgic for the California Raisins.

Marvin Gaye

(True story: Marvin Gaye added the ‘e’ to his last name to imitate his idol Sam Cooke, who did the same thing.)

Until I was about 3.5 years old and first cognizantly heard Led Zeppelin IV, Creedence’s 11-minute version of this was my favorite song of all-time. At the time, I adamantly refused to believe my parents that it wasn’t a John Fogerty original.
