R.E.M. – It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Video 4 Comments

all right, for this special occasion, i really wanted to play "darker with the day", the stunningly beautiful finale to nick cave and the bad seeds' equally beautiful 2001 release no more shall we part. alas, except for a couple of blurry coffeehouse troubadours, there were no live performances to be found (i do recommend clicking on the above link in its stead).

barring that, we'll go for the obvious, hackneyed choice (as bS already scooped the blondie cut).

Meat Puppets – Whirlpool

Video 3 Comments

i want to give a big thank you to AMR. another great installment in a great line of DJ weeks. well done, good sir. everything wasn't my cup o' tea, but i believe that's the point of DJ weeks, and the WGOM videos in general.

anyway, i believe he expressed regret that he wasn't able to get to the meat puppets, and i was sad he didn't get to it either. well, based on my research, classic MP performances are hard to come by on the YT, but here's one:

Frank Sinatra – My Way

Video 4 Comments

one more tribute for liriano in celebration of his improbable no-hitter. it wasn't neat, and it wasn't pretty, but damn it, frankie did it his way.

Ennio Morricone – The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Video 7 Comments

and so closes april 2011 for the twins. there's been precious little of the first, a whole lot of the middle, and way too much of the latter. but, this is where the protagonist stands up, brushes himself off, and turns it all around, right? right?!?!

Golden Smog – V

Video 2 Comments

more jeff tweedy in bands other than wilco? sure, why not? and on bass, no less (who does he think he is, sir paul mccartney?). i'll even throw in jay bennett as a bonus. if only jody stephens had been playing with them, that would have been an even more perfect tie-in.
