SOTD: Deerhunter- “Calvary Scars II” (2008)
“Crucified on a cross in front of all of my closest friends.”
One of Deerhunter’s greatest songs and a terrific closer to Microcastle/Weird Era Cont. (2008). I get pumped up each time I hear Moses’s drums storm in.
SOTD: Meat Puppets- “Sexy Music” (1987)
“Give me superhuman strength to wipe out what is wrong.”
Top five best Meat Puppets songs fo sho.
*SHOW ALERT*: Meat Puppets @ The Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA on November 5.
SOTD: Nirvana- “Drain You” (1991)/ 20th Anniversery of NVM
This has been my favorite Nirvana song for years; I heard this was Kurt’s favorite and that he actually thought it would be more popular than Teen Spirit. I don’t have any sources to back that up, but it really doesn’t matter who thinks what, it’s a great pop song, that’s all ther is to it. I love the little Sonic Youth esque middle part of the tune too. Does anybody else have a favorite Nirvana song?
*Also, I totally forgot this month (8 days from now, September 24) will be the twentieth anniversey of Nevermind. Love it? Hate it? How has it held up over the years- influence and who? Or how has it not held up over the years? Let us know. I have my own thoughts that I might share in a separate post when that day comes (if I remember of course). Here’s an interesting New York Times article on the anniversery.

SOTD: “The Great Escape” – The Rifles
Long live the Rifles! This sounds like a song that would be in FIFA.
Chris’s SOTD: Nancy Sinatra- These Boots…
Here is the badass, old school, analog version of Nancy Sinatra’s classic “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” One of my personal favorites, you know especially with me being a big fan of a nice pair of boots on a gal.
Old Tyme SOTD: “Beg For Love” – Plan 9
Way Back SOTD: electric eels – “You Crummy Fags”
The greatest U.S punk band ever!
Just kidding, but this is easily one of the most initially catchy (’70s) songs that I’ve heard in a while.
SOTD: Ghetto Cross- Dog Years
From the men that brought you such classics as Black Lips and Deerhunter, comes another Atlanta Hero: GHETTO CROSS!
SOTD: Moldy Peaches- “Nothing Came Out” (2001)
This is a terrific example of how The Moldy Peaches broke the conventional rules of pop songs and juxtaposed humor with sentiment.
