All righty-dighty, here we go with the third and final post of recent finds at my favorite blogs. (I'd been cranially concocting a dark, brooding, cynical intro, but opted instead for chirpy. I guess I've been broody because I've been worried this blog has seemed more like a catalog or grocery list or something. Actually, if I could find a grocery where they had tuneage this good, I'd definitely shop there. Okay, the hardest part of this post is now done.) Thanks, bloggers, for letting us sample whatcha got. Choip.

We tend naturally toward embarrassment, but the musical riches we've gathered today burn us scarlet. We could lay 39 supergroovies on you right here and now, no questions asked, but fear that might be excessive. So get ready for several days of rapid-fire MOTS posts so you won't miss a single song. (Hosted sampleables often do get taken down, you know.) We'll begin with a couple of new blogfriends who don't know us, to wit:

Sheridan Dupre X, Big B, Mike, and Emmett over at Art Decade. . .

The Beatles - Thank You Girl - Art Decade - The first two words of this song title are pretty much what we want to say to all these generous, hardworking hosterposters.
The Byrds - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (1st Version) & Lover Of The Bayou (Live) - Art Decade
The Damned - New Rose - Art Decade

. . .and Matt over at Perceptions. Delusions.
