The Association – Along Comes Mary

Video 3 Comments

looks like the hitman might be a bit indisposed. perhaps he can write about it in the new column.

anyway, i saw this awhile back, and all the engineer talk yesterday made me think of it. on the spot at work, it's the first thing that popped into my head. the said engineers of the nation should enjoy brian cole's educating the crowd on the band's technical specifications.

(i believe bS played a different version of this awhile back, so we'll just call this a reprise)

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.
