Anything by Woody Guthrie.

Fiona Apple - "Limp" You wanna make me sick, you wanna lick my wounds, don't you, baby? You want the badge of honor when you save my hide But your the one, and the way, of the day of the doom, baby If you need my shame to reclaim your pride... When I think of it, My fingers turn to fists! I never did anything to you man! No matter what I try, You beat me with your bitter lies So call me crazy, hold me down, Make me cry, get off now, baby It won't be long 'till you'll be lying limp in your own hands! You feed the beast I have within me You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run St

I am now in the middle of making a "Fuck You Songs" mix. Just adding: "Guts" - John Cale

I saw him at Alpine Valley, not at his last show but the night before (it was a 2-night stand). I got back to my room at college to a message on my answering machine from my friend with whom I attended the show. The first one said that there was a 'copter crash and that it was feared that Eric Clapton was dead. The second message, his voice was a little shakier: "Clapton is not dead, but Stevie is." I fell onto my couch and just sat there for a couple of minutes. Stunned.

I think that most of us welcome them. Nonetheless, I think that this member of the opposition party and what he had to say about Teddy is what really got me. LINK

Oh, and "Maggie May".

I'll Be Gone (by Papas Fritas) Don't lie when I ask how you're feeling I can read your mind Second thoughts have come across so clear In your eyes Outside, in the car, in the kitchen There's nothing left to say Eternity gets a little shorter everyday And for a while We couldn't pretend But no denial Could start things over again The road goes on forever The days fade into the night We're not walking together And now I'm feeling alright Forget all the things that I told you Whispers in the dark It's all in vain 'cause everything we had just fell apart Three weeks seems so long when t

Jimi Hendrix - "Up From the Skies"

I thought of another one: "Radio" - Rancid Probably my #1 "crank it" tune, actually.

Pretty much. Although, everyone in my family does try to take spiders on a piece of paper and release them out the front door, whenever we can. As to going out of our way to kill a bug. Never. Unless it's a roach. Thankfully, I haven't seen any of those fuckers in a long time. EDIT: And, I take care of my family first. Before any bugs, thank you.

I saw some chatter about this topic, whilst lurking about at Chatzy and thought it might make for some interesting discussion/lists here at the board. Usually they seem to be something from your teenage years or childhood that bring back memories of cruising with your friends or whatever. So, if they're kinda cheesy picks, that's to be expected, I suppose. So, what be they? Me (I got 12 that I can think of off the top of my head): "Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except for Me and My Monkey)" - The Beatles "You've Got Another Thing Coming" - Judas Priest "Shake Your Rump" - Beastie Bo

Just added this to the playlist for the day: Shoes - Present Tense Never actually listened to these guys, but it seems like I should; seems right up my alley. Plus, they're a bunch of Chicago (Zion, actually) dudes. I'll check back in with my remarks after a first listen.

Macy Gray - The Id Papas Fritas - Buildings & Grounds Wilco - Wilco (the album) various artists - Wayne Kramer Presents: Beyond Cyberpunk

Gilberto Gil - Frevo Rasgado

Oh yeah. Saw them a couple of times, even. Once at the club that was owned by Sue Miller (Tweedy) -- Lounge Ax. And again at another small club in Chicago. Also, Radiator is my favorite album of theirs and one of the best of the 90's, IMO.

It's not their best albums, by any means. Although "Country Girl" and "Love Song" are both pretty excellent tunes. If you're looking for the best Brinsleys stuff for your collection, you really need these: And this is one of my favorite live documents ever:

Another South American one: Timbalada (Brazil) insanely great percussion

I can't believe that I have yet to see: "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" - The Byrds Stone. Cold. Classic.
