FRE

As a small gesture to make up for my extended absence, I will from now on, at no additional cost to you, the customer, provide one more song each Friday. Out of the goodness of my own heart, it is.

OK, actually, I just much prefer the abbreviation FRE. I hate FRT! Looks like fart. Enough of that unpleasantness...this is about the music. And the children too, but mostly the music.

1. Pixies - River Euphrates.

I love the Pixies, and I really like the song, but one thing bugs me about it: the Gaza Strip is nowhere near the Euphrates River. Check it out.

2. Beck - Sleeping Bag.

My favorite Scientologist! Speaking of, I just heard last night that Will Smith is a Scientologist. That, I cannot get jiggy with...
I just saw I Am Legend last night. It was OK, I guess. There were several interesting plot lines that could have been developed, but they just couldn't seem to pick one and go with it. I'm sure it was better than the movie that it was remade from: Omega Man. Was Charlton Heston a big Bob Marley fan? Anywho, this is supposed to be about music, which I suppose, in a round about was, it kind of is, since I threw in the bit about Bob Marley. Ok, now I'm officially rambling...

3. Nirvana -Dumb.

From what I hear, the lyrics to this song are inscribed on Kurt Cobain's gravestone. I'm guessing it's probably the only headstone that mentions sniffing glue...in this country, anyway.

4. Pavement - Cut Your Hair.
Hands down, the best song on the soundtrack to A Very Brady Sequel.

5. Violent Femmes - Kiss Off.

Oh Lordy, how we used to drink and sing along to this one. It's sort of like Sesame Street with swears.

6. Radiohead - Videotape.

If memory serves, I'm supposed to do a review of this album. I'll hold off on commenting on this song until then, which works out great, because now I don't have to think...at least for the time being.

7. Limblifter - Cordova.

Before there was the New Pornographers, there was Limblifter. I got this CD for a buck because I am so lucky and Jesus loves me.

8. PJ Harvey - Oh My Lover.

This version is from the Peel Sessions CD. She fits all the emotion of a years long bad relationship into just under 4 minutes. She's talented like that.

9. The Breeders - Do You Love Me Now, Jr.

It's Kim Deal teaming up with J Mascis of Dinosaur, Jr., making a great song even better.


10. Morphine - Honey White.

I was forced to watch the extremely mediocre movie Nothing To Lose over New Year's Weekend. I was there with my extended family, who seemed to love it, so I couldn't just walk out on it, could I? Anyway, I was surprised to hear several Morphine songs peppered throughout the movie...how did they get mixed up into this train wreck masquerading as entertainment?

11. Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks.

I recently downloaded this entire album, my first ever complete album download. How exciting!
Like my BFFs BFF say, you can't whistle without laughing and laughing's good for you.
