A bunch of short comments on songs
Bear with me...
Emitt Rhodes - Live 'til You Die: I got this from a blog where it was compared to early and good solo McCartney. That works for me. Emphasis on "good": it's simple, catchy, but meaningful.
Electric Light Orchestra - Fire on High: ELO annoys the hell out of me with their drum machines and progginess sometimes, but sometimes they get it right and those are good times. And this is one of those times.
The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money (Take 30): I YSI'd this because Mat made a comment about overproduction on the way home from the B&S concert. And while he was hearing Abbey Road and thinking of Let It Be, I thought he might enjoy hearing an early version of this song, which is my favorite on Abbey Road and probably one of my top Beatles songs, period. I don't think the album version is overproduced; as with most of George Martin's production work for the band, I think it sounds nigh-perfect. But for someone who does find the album too slick, here's an antidote.
Lovin' Spoonful - You Didn't Have To Be So Nice: John Sebastian, duders.
Pop Will Eat Itself - Wise Up! Sucker: That's Alan Moore, noted comics writer, doing the "she loves me/she loves me not" spoken word parts. And as we know from another PWEI song, "Alan Moore knows the score." Which is why he isn't going to go see the movie adaptation of V for Vendetta.

Damn, I really like the design of your blog.
Thanks! I look forward to seeing what you do with yours.

I got it all tonight. I'm so excited!
"6:17 AM" <--- morning, dude.
you need to do a ysi then, broheim.
I'm sleeping during the day, so my perception of what's day and what's night is a bit skewed.
