Oval - Photograph

I first heard this played by Ted some years back, and it's been making the rounds over at Viva Radio. Whatever the provenance, this is a version of a song that I didn't realize I liked (the song) which weirdly gets better (the version) every time you hear it.

On a related note, you'll be relieved to hear that I finally did secure a copy of this.

Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray (demo)

A nice way to re-enjoy a super-good song. I can still picture E. Dando performing this at Keene State College Spring Fling '93 (long story), how the intro seemed to go on forever, and how the chords on the second four bars are different from the chords on the first four, which I'd never noticed before.

Portrait - Honey Dip

There's just one thing that never ceases to amaze me.

Peter Gabriel - Steam

OK, so it's basically a rewrite of either "Sledgehammer", "Big Time", or "Fame", depending on how you look at it, but that's none of our concern today. A window into the heighth of sophisticated production, circa W.J. Clinton's presidential campaign. Featuring Tony Levin on bass.

Featuring a lead tone from Bernard Butler that had me doing air-guitar on the treadmill earlier today. Ripped from a CD I purchased at the late, great Etherea record store. Apparently Morrissey covered this?
