Five songs. Describe em.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=713eOEQmOA0\">CCR - Who'll Stop The Rain<\/a>. Like that odd little harmony they do at the very end of the chorus. \"Who'll stop the <i>raa<sub>aiiin<\/sub><\/i>...\" I always forget that I have this, let alone that it's on my iPod.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-RB6VvxQUpI\">Benny Goodman Trio<\/a> - At Sundown. A nice little clarinet tune. Don't recall ever hearing it before, though I certainly have, since I've played this record many times before. Should I call it \"forgettable\" ? Seems harsh.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I-P21hQPVVM\">Leon Redbone - Polly Wolly Doodle<\/a>. A favorite of mine since this album came out... when I was 4. Cause what 4 year old wouldn't like this song?\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zN9x6zckn18\">Guided By Voices<\/a> - Apology In Advance. At two and a half minutes, this is nearly an epic by GBV standards. Not as catchy as some GBV songs, and rather cleanly produced. Must be a later one.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qtXtgHGrL9E\">Dirty Projectors - Temecula Sunrise<\/a>. Starts out with some tastefully plucked guitar and it sounds like it's going to be a sweet little folksong. Quickly, though, the guitar's rhythm starts to break down, and it ends up in a twisting, hiccuping loop. By the time it gets to the titular chorus, the guitar has become a Frippish cluster of quick notes. There's a simple steady drum beat, but I think that's there just to confuse the listener, since nothing seems to be paying much attention to it. A little tough for 7:45AM.\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now you do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shuffle em up. Five songs. Describe em. CCR - Who'll Stop The Rain.
