Five songs, random, <u>describe them<\/u>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Beta Band - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8eHLA_BvaiE\">Dr Baker<\/a>. A great, low-key tune. Many Beta Band songs have a strong dance club vibe, but this one is more of a stoner head-nodder. Well, most of their songs are head-nodders, too. This one is just missing the dance beats.\n<li>Beastie Boys - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZdJ5e70Q8mw&ob=av2el\">Gratitude<\/a>. One of their live-band tracks - giant fuzzed-out bass groovin on a heavy riff, organ, wah guitar, bongos! Great video in the style of Pink Floyd @ Pompeii. Look how young they were!\n<li>Faces  - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=df0kOhuIEYE\">Had Me a Real Good Time<\/a>. Sounds like Rod Stewart, sounds like the Stones, when that sax solo comes in it sounds like a Saturday Night Live band clip (as do all mid-70s rock songs with sax solos). In other words: it sounds like the 70s.\n<li>Andrew Bird - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SZSKlnSGriA\">Don't Be Scared<\/a>. A mellow-but-swelling tune from Weather Systems. Not a lot of violin on this one. Female backup vocals are a nice touch.\n<li>Cowboy Junkies - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zufpr8BwY9U\">Misguided Angel<\/a>. This is the quintessential Cowboy Junkies song: a slow bittersweet country ballad - a little numb, a little dreamy. Also, like everything else on this album (The Trinity Sessions), it <i>sounds<\/i> amazing.\n<\/ol>\n<p>OK, go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let's try something different.
