back in ‘92 a guy with a guitar walked into a recording studio in Charlottesville, VA and recorded a demo track that glorified the love between a couple begrudgingly cheating on their significant other.
the result of a september day spent in the studio was a track entitled, “say goodbye” and—for this guy steering the ship—it remains one of the more personal and poignant songs that dave matthews ever laid to tape.
enjoy the solo-acoustic-demo from dave matthews:
…and the final-full-band-product that appeared on the album “crash”:
if you too are a white, somewhat nerdy kid who grew up in the 90s, then you’re probably a weezer fan.
this week, the band announced all the deets of their new album that’s due out on 6/24. while the last two weezer albums have left a lot to be desired, i’m really jazzed and cautiously optimistic about “the red album“.
you can listen to the first single ‘pork and beans‘ here…it’s a catchy, crunchy, tune cut from the tried-and-true weezer pattern.
the track i’m really looking forward to hearing on the new album is “pig” which has made the rounds as an acoustic demo for the past year or so. take a listen and enjoy \m/
i’m in a very deathcab mood today and so here’s one more track from the band’s forthcoming album. this is the live acoustic version of “cath” taken from the live performance on BBC6.
the track’s folky and has a catchy guitar riff…oh and it’s about a GIRL!
i’m my father’s son.consequently, elvis presley is near and dear to my heart. nonetheless, the greatest elvis track i’ve ever heard was sung by Bono. tonight’s song is from the ‘honeymoon in vegas‘ soundtrack.falling in love is rad.
“…well, i had just gotten the book, sir…one of the boys gave it to me on the train, and the title of the book was called ‘poems that touch the heart“…i read one in particular called ‘should you go first‘ it was beautiful.”Elvis Presely, 1968
