  1. The Who - It's A Boy<\/a> (live). This is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about when I wrote that \"Wheat - Chaff\" post. The original version of The Who's \"Live At Leeds\" had six songs, and it was great. The latest and greatest version, the double-deluxe super-expanded edition is 4 CDs long and contains, along with a ton of good early stuff, two full performances of \"Tommy\". Which I hate - especially on shuffle. Maybe Tommy works if you listen start to finish, but most of the songs taken individually are pretty weak.\n
  2. My Morning Jacket - Mahgeeta<\/a>. Not sure what the live version of this will sound like, but the studio version, as with all MMJ songs, is neck-deep in reverb - it's kindof their trademark sound. And I'm kind of torn on this band and this song. On one hand, they have a unique sound and a loose, jammy feel. On the other hand, the singer kinda bugs me.\n
  3. Neil Young - Walk With Me<\/a>. This is from his latest record, the \"Le Noise\" which, unlike My Morning Jacket, has almost no reverb on it (except for the swirling vocals) - everything sounds dry and live and ragged and raw. It sounds like a demo, a sketch of a song. It's a good one, thankfully. But I wonder what it would have sounded like with the full Crazy Horse treatment...\n
  4. REM - The Wrong Child<\/a>. Haven't heard this album (\"Green\") in many years - and this song is one of the reasons why. Not my favorite. The \"Battle Of Evermore\"-esque mandolins are nice, but Stipe's strange counterpoint vocal parts are distracting.\n
  5. Neil Young - Peaceful Valley Boulevard<\/a>. Another from \"Le Noise\". This is an acoustic tune, about how the white man killed the native Americans and then went on to ruin the world. Good times!\n<\/ol>\n
