Loves Me.. Farewell to 1991.

Go the F**k to Sleep

MBV

Underneath the bridge, the tarp has sprung a leak

And the animals are trapped, and have all become my pets.

The letter U and the numeral 2

This song also came out in 1991.



These guys are from England and who gives a shit?

Skins and Candy

A cover of "For What It's Worth" melded onto "Sympathy For the Devil".



I like this.

Mock Turtle Soup

More 1991. Can You Dig It?

Beautiful Love

Today is Julian Cope's 54th birthday, so here's the best song from Peggy Suicide.

There's No Other Way

A four-letter word. They are Blur

The Size Of A Cow

Suddenly remembered the Wonder Stuff. This song was from 1991 as well.

Girlfriend

I remember a couple of years ago when I was wandering through Fry's Electronics and kept hearing this familiar riff echoing through the store.



It was people playing "Guitar Hero" in "Girlfriend" mode or some such thing. I saw Matthew shortly after this album came out (opening for Robyn Hitchcock) and was blown away by the guitar playing more than anything else. Nice to see that he's finally being appreciated for that.

Geometry

Chris Stamey & Peter Holsapple made a great album in 1991.

Fretless

I rediscovered this song recently, which is like reconnecting with an old friend that you haven't seen in awhile. Still missing R.E.M.

Electric Landlady

Yesterday was Kirsty MacColl's birthday. Here is one of my faves by her.
(co-written with Marshall Crenshaw).
