I like these music posts. I don't know if the handful of you reading do, but I sure do. So, here are some more songs I'm into right now:
"Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads
This could be the most boring Rock Band song ever. But damn if it isn't a sweet song to listen to. That bass line in the beginning...so simple, but so great. And this guy's got some vocal chords on him. Just a really cool song.
"Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam
No friggin' clue what Eddie Vedder is saying throughout most of the song (something about a box on the back?), but that guitar riff -- whew. Nicely done, Pearl Jam. Nicely done.
"Holiday in Spain" by Counting Crows
I wish there was a better version of this song on youtube. This one will have to do. Love it. I can sort of play this one on guitar. Winner of a song if I've ever heard one.
"San Dimas High School Football Rules" by The Ataris
What a fun song. Bonus points for the reference to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in the title of the song.
Enjoy.

Holy crap, i just watched that Psycho Killer vid the other day by coincidence. Love that band. Have you seen "Stop Making Sense"?
ReplyDeleteI have not seen that.
ReplyDeleteYeah the first time I heard the song was on Rock Band. It's awful to play because it's so repetitive...haha. But I knew I could get into just listening to it.
Stop Making Sense is a talking heads concert movie. I generally don't get into recordings of concerts, but that's a good one. A lot of it is on youtube. Here is another good song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11_kvTEshco
