Special FYWP edition!<\/p>\n

Shuffle-up five tunes, list em, describe em. I'll go first:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Talking Heads - Making Flippy Floppy<\/a>. In which the Heads get their 80's Prince-style electro dance club groove on. I like it now, but I don't know what I'd make of this if I knew it when it came out. Never been a fan of mid-80s dance music. Love the bass line in the first verse, though - that little half-step slide always gets me.\n
  2. Liz Phair - Thrax<\/a>. One her 'Girlysound' demos. It's not a great tune one its own, but it contains the seeds of greatness: one verse ended up in Whip-Smart's \"Jealousy\" and some other bits ended up in Exile's \"Soap Star Joe\".\n
  3. Neil Young - When You Dance...<\/a>. Linked to the Live Rust version, which I prefer because, as always, his live guitar sound is so huge and angry and he slams <\/em>the notes out of his amp. The studio versions always sound tame by comparison.\n
  4. Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Samba Dees Days<\/a>. Would prefer to hear more of Byrd's guitar - it's barely audible over the sax and percussion, most of the time. Still, a nice little samba. Getz always brings the mellow - even when he's going fast, it's smooth and light. Rum-scented.\n
  5. St Vincent - The Bed<\/a>. A pretty and dreamy tune, though as with most St Vincent songs, this is ever-shifting and complexly arranged - it may be pretty, but it ain't simple. Can't wait for her next record (Sept!).\n<\/ol>\n
