"An astonishing feat of lyrical economy Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" weaves together the poignant sweep of a fraying love affair with the reverberations of multi-generational family trauma into a five minute allegory of cyclical poverty and undiminished hope. A great American song"

"I'll officially begin the unpleasantness of pointing out that Dan Marino made the Super Bowl is his 2nd season and never made it back again. I'd say Drake Maye played a courageous game as Jim Kelly did in his four succesive Super Bowl losses. The deep dignity of the overmatched"

"@succotash_54 I went back and forth on the Lucinda cover on the LP- it did seem to fit Ultimately there was some incentive to keep the running time a little shorter for fidelity reasons with the vinyl but I do think of it as part of the whole spirit of the songs. Thank you for listening"

"Five decades later the enigma of Van Morrison's 'Moondance' remains the disjunction between its joyful mainline into the transcendent mysteries of life and the sour bitter paranoid man who rendered it. Doubly strange: it's not like he just went senile. He was always this way"

"A song that sounds scared of what it knows Springsteen's 'Atlantic City' is the moment in which the ultra-violence always latent in his urban picaresques turns manifest and terrifying. Some say to live outside the law you must be honest. Others incur debts no honest man can pay"

"47 years on Randy Newman's 'Louisiana 1927' remains a subtle miracle. Three minutes of wry alchemy which manages to recount a tragedy lost to history and a people forgotten to time without resorting to cheap sentimentality or class driven condescension. A perfect American song"

"Released a month apart Joe Jackson's 'Night And Day' and Elvis Costello's 'Imperial Bedroom' are twinned visions of a punk-rock Tin Pan Alley weaponized by two wits worthy of Cole Porter and Moss Hart. Countless great songs on both but the standard is Jackson's "Stepping Out""

"Built To Spill's 'There's Nothing Wrong With Love' LP is the Idaho dirtbag sequel to 'Born To Run'. A series of moving small-town picaresques all about pinpointing the workable ratio of romance drugs and ambition needed to achieve escape velocity from a dead-end town. A classic"

"The paradox of the 'White Album' is that there's no way to extract its weaker material while maintaining the menacing dream-logic that makes the whole such a powerfully dislocating psychic experience. I wonder if it its the first album to consciously employ bad songs as a tactic"

"Thirty five years later the drum machine doom-klezmer of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" remains a strikingly radical gesture. From the crypt-keeper vocals to the reverse-Sermon-On-The-Mount-sentiment it's the sound of Satan trying out his standup act and absolutely killing"

"Had REM been mugged in the studio by Motorhead it might've ended up sounding something like Husker Du's [----] major-label debut 'Candy Apple Grey': thirty-seven minutes of abrasive guitars brilliant hooks and zero concessions to mass appeal. The night before the Daydream Nation"

"A balladeer of staggering depth and pathos Shane MacGowan's best songs laid bare the hiding-in-plain-sight throughline between Johnny Mathis and Johnny Rotten and rendered comi-tragic class-addled chronicles the vaulting equal of Merle Haggard's best. In every way astonishing"

"Few songs contain more multitudes then Big Star's "The Ballad Of El Goodo" four verses of celestial devotion self-help talk and petulant score settling which might be the most purely melodic full-fledged breakdown ever set to tape. Beauty and terror. Unbelievable odds. Hold on"

"Neil Young's 'Hey Hey My My' remains the bleakest and best of his meditations on 60's indulgence and spiritual decay. When he sings "rock and roll can never die" it's with the shell-shocked assurance of one who has tried everything in his power and can't kill the fucking thing"

"The Replacement's 'Tim' is as powerful an evocation of working class life as any by Springsteen or Pulp. Resentment and joy dwell in nearly every detail: bus route courtships scared-but-stalwart-single-mothers and the watering holes where every night dreams both blossom and die"

"From the humble-brag-suicidal-ideation of Poor Poor Pitiful Me to the sorry-if-I-offended you tantrum of "Bad Karma" to the send-the-trust-fund antics of "Lawyers Guns & Money" no songwriter has wrung more withering satire from solipsistic male entitlement than Warren Zevon"

"A fever dream of creeping spiritual corruption Don Henley's "Boys Of Summer" may be the best song written about the failed revolutions of the 60's and the nightmare of disillusioned consumerism that follows from its wake. The first spasms of the angry investor class. Buckle up"

"There are often times (especially in early live recordings) when Paul switches from harmonizing with george or john to singing in unison with them and its awesome because when he does this they suddenly just sound like a double tracked version of whoever he is matching. Paul is a vocal chameleon. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022901493922439590 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022901493922439590"

"@paranoiacs So I had to listen several times. Those notes are wrong. Take [--] was definitely speeded up. Probably but not precisely a semitone. Take [--] was slowed roughly by an equal interval"

"@paranoiacs I think that is even more true the way they mimic each other on backing vocals. For instance nowhere man is a three-part that sounds exactly like three Johns"

"The weirdest and most inspiring Beatles is when they start blending together in uncanny baffling ways. The sped up John on "Strawberry Fields" sounds almost indistinguishable from Paul. If you told me George was singing lead on "Nowhere Man" I'd believe it. The enigma persists"
