I really enjoyed this All Things Considered piece about Earl Scruggs, with excellent commentary from Bela Fleck and Tony Trischka.
Toadies - I Burn
3:30 for March 30th
One song. Two chords. Never dull.
My favorite thing about this song is that they spend two minutes adding layer upon sinister layer and then suddenly, just when you think things can’t get any darker, the tone changes at the 2:10 mark, the song simmers for another 45 seconds, and then finally ignites before exploding, collapsing in on itself, and snuffing itself out.
Or maybe I’m just over-thinking it.
Thus, starting on next Monday–and, going forward, on the 2nd of every month–we will release a new episode of our You Look Nice Today audio program (RSS | iTunes) to The Shareholders, and to the broader public at-large, without charge, contract, or obligation.
“Dropping it on the Deuce,” our boys in Marketing are calling it. And, who are we to argue with our boys? Precisely.
Van Halen - Unchained
3:30 for March 30
“Come on Dave, gimme a break…”
In my eyes this might be Eddie’s most impressive riff. Above all else it highlights the fact that he is more than just a virtuoso lead guitarist; the rhythm guitar performance is what makes this song so special.
Also… I absolutely love that his guitar is hard-panned to the left channel for the whole song while the rest of the band is centered throughout.
Imperial Teen - You Hoo
3:30 for March 30th
One song. Two chords. Never dull.
Harvey Danger - The Same As Being In Love
3:29 for March 29th
Try to take a less dramatic course of action
This attraction, introspection
Diction, predilection
Is breaking my heart again
Breaking my heart again
weezer - No One Else (live and acoustic)
3:29 for March 29th
This is probably my favorite live weezer performance of all time.
Pinback - From Nothing To Nowhere
3:28 for March 28th
This song never fails to get me motivated and moving.
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
3:28 for March 28th
This album is flawless from top to bottom.
Van Halen - Runnin’ With The Devil (David Lee Roth solo vocal track)
3:28 for March 28th
This is one of the greatest things to have ever been leaked on the internet.
Phantom Planet - Always On My Mind
3:28 for March 28th
Well I turn pale when she walks by
I am lost in her eyes
She is always on my mind
Pink Floyd - Bring The Boys Back Home
…For Cary and The Boy.
Superdrag - Lighting The Way
3:27 for March 27th
Please enjoy a few more minutes from my favorite Superdrag album. This song always cheers me up. It feels optimistic.
I’ve gotta find something worth bringing back to you.
If I can make things right, I’m gonna do it my way.
