Nirvana v Vaselines

Matthew Yglesias worries that thinking Nirvana's covers of all those Vaselines songs are superior to the originals is "a crappy opinion to have".

Some songwriters are really good at writing songs that need to be performed by other people before the song can fully blossom. Bob Dylan and Neil Young fall into this category, too.

Hope it doesn't break anything... (:

If you ever have the chance, listen to the Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend The Night Together" through headphones. But only listen to the left side, because that's where Bill Wyman's crazy, sloppy, buzzy, flatulent bass is.

Things That I Used To Do

Here are a few songs from various bands I was in, back in the day. I'm posting them to avoid answering the question: If a song is recorded, but nobody hears it, does it really exist?

So, here they are. Dates are guesses.
