Crank up your electro-digital Victrola Shuffle-trons and describe to us the first five songs that come up.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Love And Rockets<\/a> - B Side, No. 1. In which Love And Rockets do their own Revolution #9<\/i>. Mercifully, it's less than two minutes long.\n
  2. De La Soul - Bitties In The BK Lounge<\/a>. One of De La Soul's less-musical numbers. More of a sketch with a bit of soundtrack in the background. This stuff really hurts DLS, IMO.\n
  3. Blue Sky Boys<\/a> - Katie Dear. A nice, old-timey, double-suicide ballad. Basically, Romeo and Juliet<\/i> in the Appalachians.\n
  4. Sidney Bechet - Ja-Da<\/a>. I like it, but if I was looking for a generic pre-war jazz tune, this would be near the top of the list. It has little to distinguish it from the archetype.\n
  5. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Close To You<\/a>. In my dumb little head, this song will always be associated with The Doors, since their \"Absolutely Live\" is the first place I ever heard it. SRV kills it, of course; but I can't help but think he's too polished, too slick, compared to The Doors' rough and loose version<\/a>.\n<\/ol>\n

    It will make you a better person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
