041. A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke

040-031:
040. Landslide - Smashing Pumpkins (http://is.gd/a0blC)
I have always admired this song more than my significant distaste for Stevie Nicks. It's such a perfect expression of transition ("I climbed a mountain and I turned around.") I like this version so much more than the original, because I think Corgan's voice just nails it. And he sings these lyrics so emphatically he may as well have written them.

039. Here Should Be My Home - No Age (http://is.gd/a0bSj)
This is a newer track by lo-fi duo No Age. Songs like this are the beauty of the "greatest vs. favorite" debate. Now, I know this probably isn't the 39th greatest song ever written, but there are few musical moments that I love more than when the drums open up halfway through this song; just, so much attitude and energy. And I am always struck by the delivery on the line "If I'm around here, then here should be my home/But it's not at all."

038. Metal Firecracker - Lucinda Williams (BAD covers only on YouTube)
My two favorite country albums of all time are Johnny Cash as Folsom and Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. The whole album is full of raw emotion, which is what I look for with country music. I mean there's always a place for a clever turn of phrase like a Neko Case song, but my heart just melts for simple country girls. The sentiment on the chorus of this song is so devastatingly self-deprecating. "All I ask is don't tell anybody the secrets/Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you." Like, you can do whatever you want to me and it's fine, just please keep what we had between us. And delivered in the drawl, Lucinda, I'm yours.

037. So Far Around the Bend - The National (http://is.gd/a0dy1)
Woah this song and band snuck up on me. I don't know what took me so long. Like, I heard Boxer, and thought it was good. And I heard this song on Dark Was The Night, and must have just overlooked it. But after rediscovering it via Tim Kringle's 2009 review I went back and looked at the National's catalog. And now they are one of my favorite bands. OK. This song. Things I intensely love about this song: 1. Patience. The National is as good as they are because of their rhythm section; the backbone. This song doesn't rush. It unfolds wonderfully. If you need any evidence of their great rhythm section just look at 2:00 into this song. 2. The lyrics (especially the unnecessary and brilliant second chorus). 3. Nico Muhly's whimsical and lovely orchestration. Such a great song.

036. Shakey Dog - Ghostface Killah (http://is.gd/a0dTe)
No chorus. No need for a chorus. This song is straight fire from the beginning to end. One thing I noticed the last time I heard this song: well, obviously, the beat samples "I Can Sing A Rainbow/Love Is Blue" by the Dells, and the song begins with the word "Green" over and over. How did I miss this? Well either way, Ghost comes out firing. This may be narratively the most engaging rap song of all time. At a little after 3:00 the story peaks pretty hard and Ghost is "on the floor like, 'Holy Shit!'" and I pretty much feel the same way. I am in awe of this song.

035. I Only Want to Be With You - Dusty Springfield (http://is.gd/a0evo)
This is as close to a perfect pop song as you can get. There really isn't a whole lot of conmplicated justification for why I love it. I just don't think I've ever been in a room where "I Only Want to Be With You" has come on and not been cheered up.

034. July, July! - The Decemberists (http://is.gd/a0f0g)
There are a lot of Decemberists tracks that could have been on this list. But, like the previous track, I don't think "July, July!" has ever come on and not been welcomed. And, of course it's just emblematic of Colin Meloy's hyper-literate and imaginative songwriting and great pop sensibilities.

033. I Want You - Bob Dylan (http://is.gd/a0fvg)
As I said in the intro, this list could have contained most of sides A and B of Blonde on Blonde (specifically "Visions of Johanna," "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again," "I Want You" and "One of Us Must Know [Sooner or Later]"). But I settled on "I Want You," because I tend to associate songs with movie scenes. And this song I associate this this scene (NSFW) http://is.gd/a0Opw, which is my favorite love/sex scene of all time. "The cracked bells and washed out horns blow into my face with scorn/But it's not that way; I wasn't born to lose you."

032. No Rain - Blind Melon (http://is.gd/a0fJL)
This song is possibly the catchiest song about horrible depression of all time. Just heartbreaking lyrics and peppy, pretty music. That's my kind of track. I also like this song for the same reason I like "So Far Around the Bend": its patience. No rush. Just relax and enjoy the late Mr. Hoon's sadness.

031. Answering Machine - The Replacements (http://is.gd/a0g7r)
Let It Be is such an amazing album. I was really close to putting "Unsatisfied" on here, but went with "Answering Machine." I love how it's like an acoustic folk song, but with that tough guitar sound and Paul Westerberg's punk vocals. "Try and free and slave of ignorance/Try and teach a whore about romance." The lyrics to this song are just unbelievable.

Day 75: Bob Dylan

This week's artist spotlight needs little introduction. Bob Dylan has been regarded as the greatest songwriter of all time more times than he hasn't. I could go on all day about his genius or whatever, but the truth is, if you're a music fan, there's probably a song of his that's touched you. Maybe the chorus of "Like A Rolling Stone" hit you in a moment of uncertainty or "Tangled Up In Blue" caught you in a down period of your life. His songs can be autopsied, diagnosed, deduced and analyzed; but the fact is they're meant to be listened to and felt.

Day 42: The Unfu**ables

I apologize for the ambiguity of the title, but I wanted to keep it PG-13. This list is a dedication to ugly musicians. Those who, despite being musically gifted, may still have to pay/beg for sex on occasion. And there's no shame in it. Ugly people can be great talents.

Why this list today? Well, today is Ric Ocasek's 60th (!) birthday. For those unaware, Ric Ocasek was the ghoulish frontman of The Cars. I've sort of had the concept for this list in the back of my head for a while, but didn't have the time to pull it out. But here's my chance.

A quick note: There's a difference between being ugly and aging poorly. A lot of people consider Keith Richards ugly, but I disagree. Because back in the 60s he wasn't that ugly. Going by these standards we could judge Justin Timberlake on the same plane as John Lennon's corpse. That just doesn't seem fair. If at your most attractive you're still relatively horrifying, then you're ugly. And it's OK. Be proud of who you are.

Also, physical deformities are NOT exempt. I don't care if you were born with bad bone structure, a second face, or Marfan Syndrome (two people on the list): I sympathize with you, but it doesn't make you any less ugly.

Finally, what do we do about women? It was tough for me to come up with any girls for the list. People usually go right to Patti Smith, because she's kind of awful now. But she's like a female Keith Richards; in the 60s she was just fine. Adele? I mean she's bigger. But if she lost the weight she could be pretty cute. She has a nice face. Amy Winehouse? Yeah, she's horrifying now because of drugs. But, when she was on the top of her game, she was kind of a babe in her own way. So let it go... And here we go:

YouTube:
01. Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated (Joey Ramone)
02. Lyle Lovett - If I Had A Boat (Lyle Lovett)
03. Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened (Bradford Cox)
04. Motörhead - Overkill (Lemmy Kilmister)
05. Kiss - Lick It Up (They were all fuck ugly, but especially Gene Simmons)
06. Pogues - Dirty Old Town (Shane MacGowan)
07. Rush - Fly By Night (Geddy Lee)
08. Public Enemy - Fight the Power (Flavor Flav)
09. Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne (Donald Fagan, only because he kind of looks like Rick Springfield with a melting face in this picture)
10. Dio - Rainbow in the Dark (Ronnie James Dio [PS Note how he signs headshots])
11. System of a Down - Aerials (The Whole Band)
12. Marilyn Manson - The Dope Show (Marilyn Manson [ugly even without all the makeup])
13. Lil Jon - Stop Fuckin' Wit Me (Lil Jon, haha)
14. Asia - Heat of the Moment (Steve Howe)
15. The Cars - You Might Think (Ric Ocasek)

Day 37: Drinkin' Songs

It's St. Patrick's Day! It's a time for all of us to cut loose and join the ranks of the Irish, a people who couldn't escape the stigma of alcoholism if they drunkenly killed everyone else in the world with broken bottles, enabling them to be the only people left who could possibly remember that such a stigma ever existed, despite the fact that most of their brain cells have been killed in a similar microscopic bar fight within their brains by tiny alcohol cells holding proportionately small broken bottles; even with such limited brain capacity and the rest of the world dead, these ginger-haired, freckled bastards would carry the mark of generation upon generation of inescapable dependence on alcohol.

Which brings me to today's list. Drinking songs. Enjoy! (Note: This drinking song list does not include rap. That's sort of a different ballgame. Rappers don't write songs about drinking, they write songs about partying, for the most part.)

YouTube:
01. Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
02. Old 97's - Melt Show
03. Big D & the Kids Table - Little Bitch
04. AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Day 32: Rick Rubin

(Rick Rubin circa 2005)

On this day in 1963, one of the most acclaimed producers in the world, Rick Rubin, was born in New York. In his nearly 25-year career Rick has put his signature sound on dozens of classic albums in multiple genres from pop country to metal to comedy to rap (and revolutionarily combining rap and metal). I've put together a list of some of my favorite songs he's put his hands on. Unfortunately, I don't really like to double-up on artists within a list, so groups with whom he's worked on multiple albums only got one song, which is a bummer (sorry Slayer and Johnny Cash).

YouTube:
01. LL Cool J - Rock the Bells
02. Beastie Boys - Rhymin' and Stealin'
03. Run DMC feat. Aerosmith - Walk This Way
04. Public Enemy - Sophisticated Bitch
05. Danzig - Am I Demon
06. Slayer - Dead Skin Mask
07. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
08. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - You Don't Know How It Feels
09. The Cult - Love Removal Machine
10. System of a Down - Chop Suey!
11. Rancid - Brad Logan
12. Rage Against the Machine - How I Could Just Kill A Man
13. Saul Williams - 1987
14. The Mars Volta - Inertiatic ESP
15. Weezer - Dreamin'
16. Kanye West, Nas, KRS-One - Classic
17. Jay-Z - 99 Problems (bad quality)
18. Metallica - My Apocalypse
19. Justin Timberlake - (Another Song) All Over Again
20. Johnny Cash - Hurt

Day 7: The Music Died

Fifty years ago today the music was pronounced deceased. And I wish I were inclined to mourn; but I'm too far removed from those artists to understand the complexity of that loss. To be honest, I don't give too much of a care about Richie V., Buddy or the Bopper. And that may make me a bad American. I have utmost respect for the Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost; but until Don McLean explains which is which in "American Pie," I will continue to be skeptical of their passing marking the death of music.

But, in honor of this sacred day of rock and roll loss, I offer my quintessential list of fallen artists.

Now, there is a lot to contemplate when you ponder what it really means to lose an artistic force. You can eulogize their overall meaning to music (like Johnny Cash or George Harrison), or you can put stock in potential, and build a list based on artists who died too soon, and/or who had way too much to contribute in their unknown years.

As an example: I wanted to put Elvis and Layne Staley on this list. But, I feel both of them peaked before their deaths. And, in the process of dying, they only enhanced their careers. I mean, did Layne really have a presence after grunge? And Elvis was just going to be a burn out and become a showman in Vegas. I also was considering Keith Moon, but it seems like everyone who has met him knew he was going to die young. Some people aren't long for this world...

My List (YouTubed):
Lynard Skynard - Simple Man (For Ronnie Van Zant [1948-1977 (age 29)] who died in a plane crash. It's easy to write off Southern rock as a novelty, but Skynard had some great songs, and were only getting better, mainly because of Ronnie.)
Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin (Arguably the greatest female vocalist of all time [1943-1970] (age 27)]).)
John Lennon - Oh Yoko! ([1940-1980 (age 40)] I could have chosen George, who is my favorite Beatle, but, he was almost 60 when he died. His artistic longevity was surprisingly long for a Beatle. John wasn't so fortunate. Who knows was he could've done in his remaining years.)
Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain (John Bonham isn't the greatest drummer of all time (1948-1980 [age 32]). But he is great. And his death led to the immediate dissolution of Led Zeppelin, possibly the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Which is why he is here and not Keith Moon).
Otis Redding - Mr. Pitiful ([1941-1967 (Age 26)]. I feel Otis might be the greatest musical tragedy of all time. And I apologize that I can't find a video for "Mr. Pitiful." Otis was the kind of artist who could have bridged R&B and Rock - which is why he is so epic to me.)
Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic (Obviously... [1942-1970] Age 27.)
Big Star - September Gurls (for Chris Bell from Big Star [1951-1978] (Age 27). Bell was one of those musicians who earned a cult status, but I feel like he could have aged well, and done really well as a solo artist later in life.)
Elliott Smith - King's Crossing ([1969-2003] Age 34. Man, Elliott had a lot of great music left in him.)
Nick Drake - One of These Things First ([1948-1974] Age 26. Same for Nick Drake. He was cut off really young, and had a lot left to give to the world.)
Patsy Cline - Three Cigarettes ([1932-1963] Age 30. Patsy would also have aged well. Such a great voice.)
Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me ([1939-1984] Age 44. Marvin is the oldest person on this list. And in a sense he was killed during somewhat of a dull in his career. But I feel he thrived during hard times in America, and would have produced some incredible work today.)
Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come ([1931-1964] Age 33. If only for this song... Sam also had a lot of great songs left to write for times of trouble.)
James "J Dilla" Yancey - Time ([1974-2006] Age 32. I know Dilla's repped this blog before, but he was really just incredible.)
Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy ([1972-1997] Age 24. A hip-hop legend cut down in his prime.)
Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up ([1971-1996] Age 25. I normally dislike Tupac, but there's no denying that he had a lot left to offer the game.)
John Coltrane - Naima ([1926-1967] Age 40. The thing about jazz is its artists age really well. Coltrane could have produced great albums for years and years.)
Rolling Stones - Paint it Black (For Brian Jones [1942-1967] Age 27. Brian Jones wasn't the principal song writer for the Stones. But, he was really a musical visionary when it comes to instrumental experimentation.)
Nirvana - In Bloom (For Kurt Cobain [1967-1994] Age 27. Cobain is on this list out of pure malice. He only became iconic in death. If he would have lived, we wouldn't even be talking about him; which is the way it should have happened.)
Chicago - Make Me Smile (For Terry Kath [1946-1978] Age 31. Kath had such a great voice, aside from being an incredible guitarist. I also feel like Chicago wouldn't have gone shitty 80s pop if he had lives.)
Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone (For Dimebag Darrell [1966-2004] Age 38. Darrell had years and years of shredding left in him. Such a blow for metal.)
