A marching martial tune about ... well, bombs and puppets; war is bad. Something like that. At the very end, though, when that very last \"say good-bye\"s echo away and the opening notes of \"New Years Day\" start playing in my head, in anticipation - that's the best part of this song. But, this being shuffle, I get...\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w5h0A1u-XsE&ob=av2e\">J Geils - I Do<\/a> (live). Catchy! OMG, so catchy. I bet this could be distilled, bottled and weaponized. Spray it on rowdy crowds and they'd instantly start snapping their fingers and doing the \"doo-doo-doo DOO-DOO-DOO doo-doo-doo DOO-DOO-DOO\" backups. Wonder if the CIA has already tried this.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7Pq7L4v9nRA\">10 Ft Ganja Plant - Jah Teach I A Lesson<\/a>. Classic roots reggae. Could've been written 40 years ago. If it wasn't for little modern touches in the recording, I'd think it was recorded in the Bob Marley era. Very nice. Plus, ganja.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iZ_Gx9-mn5o\">Hank Williams - My Heart Would Know<\/a>. Two seconds in, you know this is a Hank Williams tune: that steel guitar, the bittersweet melody, the shufflin country drums. And then Hank comes in with his achey-breaky <i>sang<\/i>in'. Not one of his better-known tunes - it was the B-side to \"Hey Good Lookin\", and never released as a single of its own. But it's still good in the same way most Hank Williams songs are; he knew how to make em.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=76ij-vb3jso\">Cat Power - Kingsport Town<\/a>. Cover of a Bob Dylan song. I don't know the original, and don't hear any Dylan in this sleepy, sleepy, sle<i>eeeeee<\/i>py cover. I'm not sure there's more than one chord in here. Sleepy.\n<\/ol>\n<p>Make it so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Random five, describe: U2 - Seconds. A marching martial tune about ... well, bombs and puppets; war is bad.
