Special taking-a-sick-day edition:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Heretix - Mad Donna<\/a>. Heretix were a band that came through Rochester in 89. Apparently they put on a good show, live, because for about a month after seeing them, my roommate and I loved<\/i> them. This is the first song on their \"A.D.\" EP. It's a pretty straight-up T-Rex cover - as is their \"Season of the Witch\" that closes the EP.\n
  2. Oxford Collapse<\/a> - Cracks In The Causeway. This song completely reminds me of the Feelies. Happy, jerky, jangly guitars, simple and repetitive (but not quite to monotony), with nonsense lyrics. It's not on YouTube, so you'll have to settle for a different OC song.\n
  3. Miles Davis Quintet - Oleo<\/a>. One of rare tunes where Miles plays long, fast, complex lines himself. He was mostly content to leave the flashy stuff to his sax guys, and just sketch out the themes with that muted, lonesome trumpet sound of his. But on this one he lets it fly and holds his own, even up against a pre-sheet-of-sound John Coltrane.\n
  4. Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians - Leppo & The Jooves<\/a> (live). A rather long, but still catchy, herky-jerky, Soft Boys song. The live version has just a bit more ooomph than the studio version (linked here).\n
  5. Chris Bell - I Don't Know. I've said it many times: Chris Bell's estate should sue Aerosmith for using this song's chorus as part of the verse in \"Janie's Got A Gun\". This is a great song, and it conclusively shows that Alex Chilton was only half-way responsible for Big Star's greatness - Bell could write and deliver a great song, too. The shimmering guitars, the gorgeous melodies, enough fiber to keep it chugging along - everything the best Big Star songs have.
