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.

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.
