Another Monday. They just keep coming, don't they...<\/p>\n

Shuffle em up! Five, describe!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Radiohead - We Suck Young Blood<\/a>. A dirge slowly swinging to and fro like a boat at sea. Thom sounds ill, exhausted, delirious. A spasm shudders through it about three minutes in, but quickly passes; what's left crawls on for another minute or so, then mournfully expires.\n
  2. Graham Coxon - Tripping Over<\/a>. I really like the toned-down lead guitar in this. The long, descending, descending, descending, melodic chord progression it floats over is nice, too. All that, and then the seagull slides at the end reminds me of early Fleetwood Mac.\n
  3. Charlie Byrd & Stan Getz - Desafinado<\/a>. A warm, pleasant, gentle bit of early 60's Latin jazz, from the album \"Jazz Samba\". The song won a Grammy (Best Jazz Performance, for Getz), in 63. Very nice stuff.\n
  4. Broken Social Scene - Ibi Dreams Of Pavement<\/a>. And I imagine the \"Pavement\" in the title is the band; the easy loping rhythm, the swirling waves of guitar noise which mask a sweet simple melody are all straight out of the Pavement manual. Good tune.\n
  5. Buddy Guy - Look What All You Got<\/a>. Man. That guy has just the rawest, meanest guitar tone ever: the sound of a Strat through a Fender-esque amp cranked all the way up - overdrive, not distortion - with a lot of reverb. Makes this twangy, barking, semi-hollow, slapping sound. It's not a pretty<\/i> sound, but to my ears, it conveys a feeling of volume<\/i> in a way that distortion just can't. Distortion is an effect; but overdrive sounds like something working really<\/i> hard.\n<\/ol>\n
