U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name

Still a great video, one of U2’s best songs, and one of the best album openings ever. Sure, Bono’s full of himself, but that’s Bono. The real star of this song is Edge. That guitar sound gets me every time.

Hat tip to TechCrunch, of all places.

Great Mac tip.

William Shatner - Common People (original by Pulp/Jarvis Cocker)

This is one of my all-time favourite covers. This isn’t the usual Shatner camp. This is a great rock song featuring wonderful 2nd vocals by Joe Jackson.

“Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I’ll stand on Bob Dylan’s coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.” Steve Earle

“I’ve met Bob Dylan’s bodyguards and if Steve Earle thinks he can stand on Bob Dylan’s coffee table, he’s sadly mistaken.” Townes Van Zandt

“Here was a dude who carried himself like Brando, and Dylan, and Elvis. If John Steinbeck could sing, if Van Morrison could ride a Harley-Davidson …. It was something new, too. He was the first whiff of Scorsese, the first hint of Patti Smith, Elvis Costello and the Clash. He was the end of long hair, brown rice and bell bottoms. He was the end of the 20-minute drum solo. It was good night, Haight- Ashbury; hello, Asbury Park.”  Bono

Can’t wait for the new Frightened Rabbit album. What’s still unclear is if it’s being produced by Peter Katis. Katis produced both Midnight Organ Fight and The National’s Boxer, two of my all-time favourite albums. With these albums he carved out his signature: big, full sound. To my ears, these two albums have much in common and I chalk that up to his production. Hope he’s on board.

New music from Frightened Rabbit!

A video for “Swim Until You Can’t See Land”, the title track (and apparent first single) from their upcoming record, landed in my inbox this morning, and I couldn’t not share it.  As a big huge fan of their last record, The Midnight Organ Fight, I can’t wait to see what they do this time around.

Uh wow.

Steve Earle - Willin’ (Little Feat cover)

To be movin’
