Hot: I Feel the Earth Move — Carole King. Cold: It's Too Late — Carole King. same album. side one and side two. Tapestry has more range than most people's entire catalogues. #hotorcold #JukeboxFridayNight

Hot: Alive — Pearl Jam. still sounds like falling forward. Cold: The Winner Takes It All — ABBA. the coldest song ever written about being fine. #JukeboxFridayNight #HotOrCold
