Last night’s shuffling centered around listening to “Autumn Sea” and trying to figure out how all the Big Bill Broonzy and Old & In the Way tracks that surrounded it fit in to the big picture. Also, this fantastic bit of patter, from a Jan. 2008 concert in London.
I don’t know who’s more responsible for the impact of “Piggies,” George Harrison or George Martin. But I’m thinking timbre rules.
1. Tom Waits – Temptation
2. Kristin Hersh – Shake
3. Yo La Tengo – What Can I Say
4. Jason and the Nashville Scorchers – Gone Gone Gone
5. Badfinger – Come and Get It
6. The Pursuit Of Happiness – Bored Of You
7. Big Audio Dynamite – BAD
8. Tsunami – Answerman
9. The Cure – Primary
10. The Rolling Stones – Soul Survivor
Public holiday here in the UK today (next one is Christmas Day) so the BBQ is in full swing!
