How Many Songs Does It Take?


Recommended Posts

What Zappa song would you pick?

 

Just kidding (kinda - it has everything "Zappa" in it, including Roy Estrada)

 

I would cheat and play the whole Yellow Snow suite:

Don't eat the yellow snow ->

Nanook rubs it ->

St. Alphonso's pancake breakfast ->

Father O'Blivion

 

Which really has everything: Ruth, complex music, it's funny, it's dirty.

On May 5th, 2013 The National played the song 'Sorrow' for 6 hours(99 times,no encore) at the MoMA PS1 VW Dome in a collaborative performance with the artist Ragnar Kjartansson.

 

This performance is now being released as a limited edition 9 LP box set

My favorite thing they ever did live was Poor Places > Spiders. Even though it's just a slice of what makes them so damn good it's a mighty fine 15-20 minutes.

 

Me too. Kicking TV has one of the best versions of the transition to my ears too.

it depends on the person's musical taste. find out what it is and pick the right songs. for example, if i didnt any wilco songs and someone played me Hell is chrome or Dash 7, i'd dismiss them right away. BUT, if someone played me Airline, Via chicago or Misunderstood, i'd be all ears
