#366. Positive Bleeding-Urge Overkill

I guess I'm gonna go it alone.

      They have worked with some of the biggest producers in all of "modern Rock" including Steve Albini and Butch Vig but still never really broke out.  You either get'em or you don't, ladies and gentlemen, Urge Overkill.

#367. My Brave Face-Paul McCartney w/Elvis Costello

 
 
 
                So I spent the first half of my adolescence loving The Beatles, my second half worshiping Elvis, why wouldn't I love the song.

#368. I'm Nuthin'-Ethan Hawk

Got a pothead mama, got a cokehead dad.

      Just a fun song from a fun movie.  A movie that along with Singles and Pulp Fiction defined my high school years.

#369. Across the Universe-Beatles

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy.

     I true Lennon Masterpiece. Argued by many the "best Beatles song",  not an argument I am gonna get involved in.  Enjoy.

#370 Bertha-Grateful Dead

I had a hard time, running from your window.

       I got to see the Dead only 3 times and Jerry once.  But I did get to hear this gem live.  A timeless track from the Dead Catalog.

#371. Feist: 1234

Feist: 1234

Put the horse before the cart.

       Thank you Apple. To really appreciate this song you have to hear the Banjo heavy version   that was performed on SNL. I tried to download it here but NBC is tight.


#372. Unemployable-Pearl Jam

His wife and kids asleep but he's still awake, his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid.

         Don't know much about these guys, I've heard they're from Seattle. Alright just kidding.  I could right another list all about Pearl Jam songs and how everyone has effected me differently. This track is off of 1996 album, Pearl Jam, definitely the hardest I rocked out to a Pearl Jam in release since VS. Great album, great track.  The boys haven't lost a step in twenty some odd years.

#373. Jery Was A Race Car Driver. Primus

He never did win   no checkered flag, but he never came in last

       With Les and the boys it was always about rhythm, but that is usually the case when the band is led by a member of the rhythm section.  Personally I prefer the years with Tim Alexander on the drums.  Great track here off of Sailing the Sea of Cheese.  This song pretty much started Primus most productive 5 yr stint, with Cheese., Pork Soda and Tales from the Punchbowl.
