Song Of The Week

I have two songs of the week today! Oh, I am spoiling you. Aren't I? Whaddya mean, no?

First. I felt sick when I first heard this, and it's the most immediate of the songs from the album, A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997. It's pretty good when you realise it was recorded on a 4-track in his basement when he was about 16. Bright Eyes, Falling Out Of Love At This Volume.

Second. I wasn't sure about this band at first, but the amazing bass lines pretty much sold it. Joy Division, Disorder.

Album of the Second: Basically a rarities collection released after his suicide. As such, it's pretty poignant - Elliott Smith, New Moon.

Blame It On the Jetlag.

I forgot Thursday! Arrgh!

Achem. I didn't forget. No. I was confuzzled from my super-fast one-day world tour, as backed up by the following witnesses:

Georgia Georgia, Elliott Smith
Hollywood, The Cranberries
We'll Always Have Paris, Commander Venus

Song Of The Week

Hi!

This weeks SOTW is by a band called Big Dipper, and is from Supercluster: The Big Dipper Anthology although I got it from the MOJO Roots of Nirvana CD. Big Dipper, You're Not Patsy

The AOTS this second is 'Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones' (Dad's Choice) . I like the Stones, but orchestral versions? I am yet to be impressed. However, I've got a new Elliott Smith CD and a new Joy Division CD so if it starts getting on my wick I can always chuck my headphones on!
