lesakramer5's jams
Here are all of lesakramer5's jams.
My Way
by Sid Vicious
Well, I came in punk, so going out punk - I'm sure ton's of folks have posted this as their farewell don't care as my fiends know I'm a weirdo with loads of tastesgood on them - I almost did going to Cali by LZ, but will do that on LL.. Here's the deal, I can't thank you all individually (though I've been getting those gorgeous goodbye posts)..for me this is NOT the end...TIMJ gave me something in my life that was missing - a connection to real music fans, and I know you're there for me on LL... So, I'll leave it as I came: I did it my way:) See you on the other side - now I just have to figure out how to ensure that my crap is archived:) I love you all -you helped me through so muchIt's not overfind m on LL: still lesakramer5 (oh you know me as the bitch in the beginning that would get pissed if you liked my song but didn't listen) I got over myself. So many friends, comments, love - Thank you all - Oh and forgive Sid for his TERRIBLE vocals - He did it his way:)
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
by If This World Were Mine
I replaced this with a great tune but then saw I was the FIRST to jam this classic???(WTF) So am rejamming, Sam as if you don't know Marvin and Tammy - sigh, I need to leave this up for bit:) xo @labracoon for your jam...it is is great, but gotta go with my heart:)
Go Back to Your Used to Be
by Collard Greens and Gravy
The first time I've EVER rejammed - this song just HAS to be passed around as we close out - thx @labracoon:)
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
by If This World Were Mine
Just a little love back for all the love I've received during my Fire experience - my fav love song:) xo, L
The Ohio Players
by FIRE
Do I have new Jam and where the hell have I been? FIRE! On Saturday a small fire started and within hours it burned out 25,000 acres (it's now over 65,000 acres), reducing my sister's house AND town of Middletown to ashes in just a few hours (fire raced down a mountain and engulfed the town) she was missing until late that night having fled threw the fire maelstorm. I went to sleep that night thinking I was safe as fire was heading in other direction - finally heard from my sister after 6 hours of no contact. At 7:30 am Sunday - cops at door told I had minutes to evacuate - left in 20 minutes with passport, photo albums and dog - I just got home tonight and am one of the very lucky ones to have a home (the Valley Fire in Lake County, CA)...still burning out of control in parts of wine country (Lake, Napa and Sonoma) in Northern Cali. My sister lost everything, including her cats - the news does it no justice as you can't get to where the fire is to report. Incredible sadness:(
Lust for Life (UK TV)
by Iggy Pop
I am rejamming this from @debutch 'cuz I missed it:) And boy do I have a lot of stories to tell about, well, you know him as Iggy, I know him as JIM -LOL (see archive the Scholar). For those that want the Iggy Poop story, let me just say he was famous for never stopping a live gig, even if it meant shaking it down a pants leg; for those that want to hear about what I saw backstage, think that's between Jim, oh you know him as Iggy, his maker and the pool table:) Anywho big thx to Dave for this great LIVE version. My first Iggy show was at the Channel in Boston in '80's -getting tix before the web and cell phones? But we all got in! Everyone hears about his ability to turn chicks on - saw it first hand when my roommate, who had never heard of him, a full on non punk granola chick who just got back from teaching school in South America, fought her way to front and licked up his spit.Gross - I love Iggy, but never drank THAT Kool Aid! XO and away we go as we get closer to the end:)
Lithium
by Nirvana -NOT!
Great ready for the craziest and soo special cover of Lithium! OMG..This is amazing:) Enjoy and please listen 'cuz it is NOT Nirvana, but it takes you there:)
Between The Wars
by Billy Bragg
Well, it's Labor Day in the good ol' USA and I thought it appropriate to share al ittle Billy Bragg...from 1985 (bad sound) but his first Top of the Pops in UK in support of miners - I'll be doing New England on LL:) I am a UNION supporter, though never belonged:) Got to see him live at the Sapphire in Orlando, in the '90's and I've meet many a rock star, but I was knock kneed and stammering when I met him (very shy embarrassed!)- Such a hero to me:) To all those that labor and try to maintain..this one goes out to you:)
The Moody Blues-(Long Extended Version)
by Tuesday Afternoon
Do you feel like crying or being sentimental, then getting a little happy groove? Here is the song for you - a good follow up to the Boom Town Rats I hate Monday's posted on LL (already posted THAT one here...) Going back and forth (LOL) Enjoy - though for many of you it might already be Wed?
The Little Black Egg - 45rpm Florida Garage! 1966
by The Nightcrawlers
I'm a huge early Florida garage fiend and this song is kinda known as the first Garage Tune - it's weird and not as fast and punk like other early'60's Florida based garage, but it was the first....ask anyone who loves American garage:) Example my ex - a really talented musician - this was the first song he learned when he first started playing....Florida is really the birthplace of American Garage - They were pissed -Think it's because the Beatles came to Florida in '60's and that just got the boys into a pantie wad - GRR, they said and got their Sears guitars and hit the garage!
Get The Little Black Egg - 45rpm Florida Garage! 1966 at Amazon
Waitress in the Sky (live)
by Paul Westerberg
Had to REJAM as my previous was just first chorus - this is live version but really good - this song cracks me up and I'm a feminist - had to have for my archive - Enjoy! PS...I can remember flying when you could smoke on an airplane and they delivered drinks non stop! On my non stop from San Fran to Paris, on my way to FAB BARCELONA - why go anywhere else??? (last flight in 2014) I got ONE cocktail - let me repeat that ONE! GRRR and I was flying Air France which I thought would be fancy! NOT! Snobby!!!Couldn't get a second cocktail to save my life! - Really prefer the old days when we would dress up to fly, get loaded, and the STEWARDS were friendly..now we wear our pajamas - At least I do LOL:), - Poor Paul, probably such an a-hole they ignored him, - Music History: The Replacements had a gig opening for Tom Petty America Wide but got booted off the tour for naughtiness (ie partying like the rock stars:they were not, and Tom Petty, a family man had had it - so fired them.
Waitress in the Sky
by The Replacements
Am double looping/jamming so this is a dup - BUT needed this for archive - I'm a feminist but I have a sense of humor and this song makes me laugh:) I think this song is like 30 seconds long!
Common People
by William Shatner
I kid you not - this one NOT one of his old '60's songs - this actually is amazing - I'm going to leave it up! William Shatner (yes Star Trek) covering Pulp? Please - it's actually great! Can't figure out who is helping him, but this is one to listen to - it is cover but with loads of great help! Enjoy!
The Ghost In You
by Robyn Hitchcock
As a Fur Fan, and how lucky I was to party with them in the '80's (Just showing off and name dropping to break your toes), I think Robyn's version is a GREAT cover. Seriously, this is worth it:) This IS NOT my last Jam:) Enjoy!
REM 45rpm IRS Records 1986
by Superman
I think this is the PERFECT follow up to my previous jam, as it's a DIY video recording of someone playing the IRS (YES LOVED THAT LABEL) of the '45 of REM's Superman @debutch, I know you'll get the irony of this..for those that need better sound quality - loads of other versions out there - this is meant to be fun:)
"The Scholar"
by chain-fights-beer-busts-and-service-with-a-grin
OK TIMJ's: GET READY!!! THIS IS BIG!!! We've all met this guy - "The Scholar" whether at the local DIY record store where he made a woman cry because she was wearing an X tee-shirt and he called her bubble gum, or from his know it all 'zines, or when you got corned by him at a party and he wanted to "educate" you, ie name drop until all your toes were broken. I got turned on to this by a friend in '92, bought it, lost it just found (this is best track on CD) - Please share with all your friends and get ready for 30 minutes of pee your pants funny -"You know him as....." You'll understand once you listen. The finale is the best! We all need to laugh and this stands up to test of time and tests your music history and the irony as we are all scholars - with big XO! (SO GLAD I found it so I could share!!!!) YIPPPEE!
Kiss Off
by Violent Femmes
Big thx to @sparrow47 One of my fav FV's tunes:) ENJOY -Still doing my punk rock and this is - fast, heavy, tight, short:)
![Johnny Hit and Run Pauline [Live]](https://s3.amazonaws.com/thisismyjam/i/ad8033a797bf04d7570a3b01c054831b_395.jpg?1439787161)
Johnny Hit and Run Pauline [Live]
by X (from "LIVE AT THE WHISKEY A GO-GO [88]")
Time to take some X! Back toPunk Rock! So, I got sidetracked (it happens to me) but I'm back on punk track - on LL I did this great 4 part lead up to X (4 loops ending with this song) to give a little history - and it's worth watching! But for my TIMJ friends, I know you don't need any history lessons:) Please check out my X run on LL - lesakramer5 as I put some thought into it, and start from bottom up with the amazing Dick Clark interview from 1982... and lately, I'm the only one commenting on my songs - sigh..XO:) And I've hung out with Exene - she is a sweetheart! And, I still have a crush on John Doe - he made mesh t-shirts cool long before the Jersey Juice Heads - lol:)
Rose Rouge
by St. Germain
Yes, I know I said I was going to be posting punk, BUT in honor of all my Burner friends who are scrambling now for last minute packing, final costumes, connecting with friends so they can find each other, I give you St. Germain - My first year at BM was 2001, my partner, Mr. B's was 1998 - our first time together was 2005 and that's when he shared St. Germain Tourist with me (I had never heard of) and I shared Wilco -True love if you can start dating and do 8 days on the Playa together. Just heard from our neighbor from 2012 who flew in from Australia (he's a Ranger now!). Mr. B' s and my last year - 2013 when I took his ashes to the Temple - combined years - well a lot - Mr. B '98, 00, 02; mine '01 then we meet and did '05, '06' 08, '09' '11, '12 and the sad last '13 - so this song goes out to all Burners as you must bring St. Germain Tourist to BM - it's the sound track of your BM life, especially during siesta time - that time when you really need to chill :><: XO and Burn for me:)
Ring of Fire
by Social Distortion
Still being agro and punking out (grr really want Punk Rock Girl Dead Milk Men, but all attempts have been blocked, the I found this from fellow Jammer! Funny story of seeing them live in SFO (late '80's- early '90'sish - it's blur... and how my parents insisted on coming as they wanted to know what kind of music I like - Surprise ! They were miserable ("they're so LOUD"..We can't understand the lyrics" blah blah blah)...LOL Tried to warn them, but sweet of them to try:) Anywho, this is great!!!!
My Way
by Sid Vicious
Seems appropriate, plus I've been a bit of a puss bag lately! Time to get back to punk roots:) Also who did NOT love Sid and Nancy? One of the best, and ever so sad, (don't do heroin, kids) bio pics! Enjoy...or hold your ears? Much better Sex Pistols songs out there, but just felt the need for this one:) Plus this isn't Sex Pistols, it's Sid...will jam shortly a GREAT SP song - saving up my archive:) May just be an angry puck to the end - we'll see - LOL:)
Way to Blue
by Nick Drake
2010 in honor of Nick Drake with interviews and concert:) so glad I found for archive! The Way to Blue:)
I Saw Nick Drake
by Robyn Hitchcock
Could be that I already posted - scrambling - but this is important, and a great live version from 2009:) Two birds with one love: Robyn Hitchcock and Nick Drake:) This is a reminder that both should never fall off your radar:) enjoy - only up for the night:) Coming up immediately - great interviews about Nick Drake - who I love!

Closing Time Semisonic Lyrics
by Semisonic
So sad when I got the email the TIMJ shutting down - So a sad little diddy...sadly, I think we are going to lose our loves but have access to Jams via spotify - still unclear how it's all going to work - Just know that I'm bummed as this site was so fantastic - because of the people that posted such great music - BIG thank you the creators who worked so hard on this site. Update - new alt site we're going to migrate to (thx @debutch): When you are ready, we could do a mass migration to .. http://www.letsloop.com Not quite as good BUT It looks like the NEXT BEST THING to TIMJ.......
Castles in the Air
by Hoodoo Gurus
In Honor of Brooks "Mr. B" Collins: Dec.23, 1966 - Aug. 3 2013. Our fav love song:) After today, a new picture of Ziggy, best dog in the world as avatar:) Thanks for all the love TIMJ friends while I went through this process:)
Pink Moon
by Nick Drake
I loved my previous jam, Blister in the Sun, but then I remembered that during our long distance first start, I sent Mr. B Intro to Nick Drake - so he could get to know some music that I loved...so pretty, so had to switch out:)
Violent Femmes - Lyrics
by Blister In The Sun
A great Mr. B and Lesa moment: When I introduced Mr. B to the Violent Femmes. He was furious that he had "missed out" living in the Nor Cal bubble...I eased him out of the pain by reminding him he had the rest of his life to learn about music:) So many artists came next from Nirvana, Beck, all my garage favs, ELO (Telephone should be my next jam!) - such a long list - - but this (and Wilco) were the breakthrough as he loved the whole album - it's confusing what to post so I'm just grasping at good memories:) Mr. B: Dec, 23,1965 - Aug. 3, 2013
Stray Cat Strut
by Stray Cats (live!)
This was one of the very few songs that Mr. B and I loved/shared (in his luggage container of crappy cd's) when I first met him...Think he fancied himself a Tom Cat (get the Cat Fancy joke? - he loved cats) -until he met me! - lol:) If Mr B was TIMJ, this would be his eternal jam:) Have to hit the road for business but thought I'd leave you with this great live version - hope it's not blocked (went through 3 versions!) XOO!
Led Zeppelin {with lyrics}
by Tangerine
Whew - this song is so perfect:) Sorry I haven't updated in a while - life can be hectic:)
I'm Trying to Break Your Heart (Live)
by Wilco
Well, I tried to post song, but youtube blocked so we'ree going LIVE:) Hopefully this post works -sigh...once again this album, this song one of Mr. B and my Fav's. From now until Aug 3rd I'll be posting in honor of my partner of 10 years, Mr. B who passed so unexpectedly on Aug 3, 2013 - it is so cathartic and good for me to do this:) We go back to Ziggy the great pooch as avatar after that as well:) FYI - get this album: Wlico: Tankee Hotel Foxtrot! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_Hotel_Foxtrot according to Wiki you can stream the whole album for free:) But, what the hey, buy it, these guys are DIY, screw the record labels, (they got paid twice for this album and who doesn't love Jeff Tweedy?) - just a reminder that before Wilco he was Uncle Tupelo (with others of course); just American ALT music history:) and YES @debutcht I've seen Uncle Tupelo - as well as Wilco of course - one of the great things about being older:) It's my Birthday month, July 25 - turning 51:) Proud:)
Dedicated to the One I Love
by The Shirelles
From now until Aug 3, I will be posting love songs, beautiful songs, but about lose, in honor of my true love, Mr. B, who passed at age 46 on Aug. 3, 2013....Don't be sad for me - I was lucky to have him in my life for 10 years. He burned twice as bright, but just half as long...
i lost someone
by James Brown
From now until Aug 3, I will be posting love songs, beautiful songs, but about lose, in honor of my true love, Mr. B, who passed at age 46 on Aug. 3, 2013....Don't be sad for me - I was lucky to have him in my life for 10 years. He burned twice as bright, but just half as long...
Tug of War
by Paul McCartney
Well, I'm posting this song (sappy) because I'm from Bolinas, CA 94924, and we have a MYTHIC Tug of the War every 4th of July for decades between Bolinas and our arch nemesis, yet kind neighbors, Stinson Beach, CA. 2015: Bo women win again; sadly Bo men lose after a HARD battle! To truly understand, please watch a couple of short you tubes that will give you sense of why we are so passionate about our tug of war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DabvS_9Y-oI (cool aerial time lapse shot) AND a shot from Stinson but you can see Bolinas and how we have a cliff to deal with:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK9105YuVVM Today's outcome - The hard core Bolinas FEMALE Team WON (as they do year after year), and the Bo men lost, as they do s, but not every year:) Happy B-Day America - this is how we celebrate in Nor Cal:) (videos from 2014 as I'm waiting for the uploads from this year...Next..check out our Parade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxZY_EgYmCU
Old Man
by Neil Young
Hanging out with great friend and we both agree this song is worth singing together with with - enjoy:)
I Don't Like Mondays
by The Boomtown Rats
Well..I never like Mondays - but I had good weekend, but my emails and phone are blowing up today! Mondays can be tough:) But this song should make us all smile...
Southern Man
by Neil Young
Once again, I ashamed of my Country - anyone that thinks we are free of racism or segregation lives in a bubble..Sigh - I'm actually a Daughter of the Confederate as my mother's ancestors were pre-state Floridians - My grand father and grandmother in the depression worked with the WPS with Zora Neale Hurston https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zora_Neale_Hurston) and Stetson Kennedy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stetson_Kennedy) to collect Slave stories and music (now proudly stored in the Smithsonian) and were civil rights leaders, but only as whites...so we are are Southern Liberals - my grandfather took me to my ancestor's plantation when I was 10 to show me the slave quarters - for those that don't know there is a BRING THE FLAG DOWN campaign in America - aka - the rebel flag, which stands for murder, segregation, racism: The Southern Poverty Law Center is leading this charge, and I, of course support it...so in honor -I bring you Neil Young's Song: Not sorry Lyn Skynard!
The One I Love
by R.E.M.
I tried to Play this REM song - This One Goes Out to The One I love I love, but I switched it to a live version in the hopes more people would see - it's a personal message, and and a public message:) FYI I've only got few a REM songs that I love this and and few others as I'm not a an addict :) LOL - To the person this is meant for, hope you feel the luv:)
The One I Love
by R.E.M.
Hey - when friends are going through a hard time, I think this is a great song to show we love them:)

Mr. Blue Sky
by Angelo ELO
OK.. I know this will seem like a crazy pic, but I LOVE early ELO ....before that got busted because their live stage act needed SO much (ie live space space ship landing - and they got busted for pre-recorded tracks - what 2 decades before it became common - kinda killed them)--any who - it's Sunday, I just felt like this song:) Enjoy:)
Castles in the Air
by Hoodoo Gurus
First, it's a personal love song - personal and meaningful... Second, who doesn't love a great tremolo and the Hoodoo Gurus are so groovy - the saddest day of my life was having tix to see them at the Orpheum in Boston - --walking up that back ally to the old opera house and seeing a big CANCELLED sign - sigh - so no - never saw them live but recommend all their songs! Go know and listen to all their songs:) They are great.....
War on War
by Wilco
No reaction to the Plimsouls?... A great band; no worries, no prob, fine. I have a solution: A live version of Wilco's "War on War" from 2001 - note the difference in the break (bass) from the recorded version, and note the ever so lack luster crowd response from the BEST album from them (in my humble opinion) - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot -(I can listen to this album all day - and you should - old school from first song to last, in order -Jeff Tweedy is a hero..) .and this song-It's a War on War is not the first song, but one of my favs - you have to learn how to die..sigh...this is up for the whole week:) Hope you enjoy - I know I do/will:)
Oldest Story In The World
by The Plimsouls
First, I knew about the Plimsouls before their film debut as the punk rock band in the chessy but fun film Valley Girl (sigh watched it after my first Adam..that's what we called X when it was legal in the US); Nick Cage's first film where he played a punker (LOL what a miss in terms of casting!-circa '83 ish? )Bottom line is I to this band at least once a month - they still stand up - enjoy:)
Weapon of Choice
by Fatboy Slim
Just love Chris Walken - had the pleasure of smok'n a doobie with him in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA (a long time ago - mid '80's, when he was performing at the American Rep Theater:) Everyone needs to know what a great dancer he is:) Oh...nothing wrong with the tune either - Fatboy Slim - Classic!
Watching The Detectives
by Elvis Costello
There is something so beautifully evil about this song ...I can never stop loving it...enjoy:)
