Random five... and describe.
- Paul Simon - Loves Me Like Iraq. Paul's complaint that his mother only ever wanted to use him as a pawn in her geopolitical power struggles.
- Mazzy Star - Flying Low. New Mazzy Star! A swampy, hazy, rocking tune, showing a bit more bite than I've come to expect from Mazzy. Nice.
- The Hold Steady - Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window. I don't know this Dylan song, or this band. But I'm liking both, right now.
- Led Zeppelin - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. In which John Bonham hits his hi-hat every half beat. He plays the fuck out of that hi-hat! Tish... Tish... Tish... It's all my left ear can hear.
- Junior Wells & Buddy Guy - Hey Lawdy Mama. This is a great one. Junior Wells always sounds like he's having the time of his life.
Play along, if you want.

The Hold Steady sound a bit like the E Street band. No bad thing.
I saw The National play this week. Great show.
ah, yeah. i couldn’t place it, but yeah. that is it exactly.
