Another shitty Monday morning here in dreary shitty NC !<\/p>\n

Shuffle-up five, describe them to us so that we may learn!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hank Williams - Half As Much<\/a>. Takes me about .3 seconds to identify this one as a Hank song. It's simply impossible for the sound of that steel guitar in the intro to come from anyone else on my iPod. Good song, too. Sadly, the original isn't on YouTube anywhere, though there are dozens and dozens of covers - the link is to an Emmylou Harris cover.\n
  2. Replacements - Seen Your Video<\/a>. I always like songs that go for a verse or two before the vocals come in. In this case, the vocals only last for one chorus. I find it surprising that the Replacements would have done it, though. It seems like a bit of a high-minded concept.\n
  3. Husker Du - Makes No Sense At All<\/a>. I'm not a huge Husker Du fan, but I like this one.\n
  4. Andrew Bird - Dissent<\/a>. One of his experimental things from Useless Creatures. It's some atmospheric loops with a meandering lead over top - all violins, I believe. Not essential.\n
  5. Sonic Youth<\/a> - Blink. From their B-sides and outtakes collection, \"The Destroyed Room\". A quiet, acoustic-based number, with Kim whispering over the top, and some transient bass noises in the background. It's an interesting change from the standard \"Kim\" song. I approve. Link goes to the \"100%\" video, which features a very young skateboarding Jason Lee (\"My Name Is Earl\", etc.).\n<\/ol>\n
