10 Songs: Monday, November 2nd, 2015
1 – Hand In My Pocket Live – Alanis Morisette – From 95 and this may well be the best version I’ve ever heard -by the end her youthful stamina is cocky and powerful femininity building as an act of immense self-confidence, past the harp solo till the very end where she is hailing a cab – A
2 – Get Up, Get Out – Timmy’s Organism – Detroit punks morph into experimental noise merchants and finally sign to Jack White’s label, where they provide us with this somewhere in the middle pulsating sound rocker – B+
3 – Will, Wish And Desire – Abigail Williams – This is like a beautiful tune being put through a grinder – A
4 – Be True – Bruce Springsteen – Written for The River, but it didn’t make it out, it finally saw life as a B Side, and then on Tracks. This is when you’re in that place where the great songs are just pouring out of you – A
5 – What Is It About My Daddy – Amy Winehouse – “This is about my Daddy… it’s not an aaaah situation...” – B+
6 – Daddy Issues – The Neighbourhood – Break up song, kinda sucks – C
7 – Sometime After Sunset – Trey Anastasio – Starts off terrific, wonderful lick, but once the vocal comes in I’m outta here – C+
8 – New Immortals – Video – Punk meets prog in Warsaw – V=C+
9 – Art School Live At the 100 Club 1977 – The Jam – Loud fast with a white edge of mod to it – A-
10 – Alison-Suspicious Minds Live On Jonathan Ross – Elvis Costello, sitting next to Priscilla, playing Presley’s very own 1956 acoustic guitar (insured for a million bucks), Costello does himself proud (check out the video)
