I would add "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Met)" from the same gig as well.

Judas!

And if you can't be with the one you loathe, honey, loathe the one you're with…

"I Can't Explain". At anytime during their career.

But there was no studio versions to make the comparisons…

"Substitute", The Who, from Live at Leeds. Somehow there was some vitality missing from the original single. The live version is brighter, more compact. And "I Can't Explain" proved to be their most durable piece, more so than even "My Generation".
Elvis Costello's "Watching the Detectives" from the Live at…

Much of Laurie Anderson's oeuvre comes tom mind as well. The there are some pieces by the Bonzo Dog Band that fit in very nicely, all spearheaded by the late, great VIv Stanshall. Tracks include "Big Shot" (a short film noir narration), "11 Moustashioed Daughters", "Rhinocratic Oaths" (a series of observations) and…

Yeah, like "You're No Rock and Roll Fun". My wife and I are just discovering Sleeter Kinney this past year (hey, we've been elsewhere discovering other things in the meantime; this was all by chance; no further questions). Carrie Brownstein is wickedly funny but Corrine Tucker is such a babe!

I think for "She's My Little Rock and Roll", you do mean "Little T&A" by The Rolling Stones, or more specifically, Keef. But, yeah, mentioning rock and roll in a rock and roll song is probably the most redundant of all redundancies.

Frank Zappa certainly had one of the odder opening tracks in the way of the doo-wop cover of "WPLJ" on Burnt Weenie Sandwich, the first of two such tunes (the album closes with another doo-wop cover entitled "Valerie"). In between it all (hence the "sandwich") is collection of instrumental pieces, ranging from the…

Steve Reich. He may have hit his peak in the mid-1970s with "Drumming" and "Music for Eighteen Musicians" but his most recent material (e.g. "2 x 5", "Double Sextet" and "Mallet Quartet") is very good and interesting, the best of the recent being "Dance Patterns".

Oh yeah, boy howdy!

There are numerous times in M*A*S*H that always get me beklemt: Radar staggering into the OR to inform everyone that Col. Blake's plane was shot down; Winchester receiving an autumn leaf in a letter from a fourth grader, reminding him (and me) of the beauty of Autumn in New England (where I should be right now,…

I cannot speak for myself since the name John is too common. My wife, however, is named Madeline and, of course, appreciates her namesake that is the littlest girl in the Ludwig Bettleman books.

I cannot remember exactly which HBO special it was (it might have been his first one), but he went into the audience and bantered with them. He found that one guy in the front had an Instamatic camera and asked for it. He then took the camera, loosened his pants, and proceeded to take an inside shot of his crotch,…

(I haven't scrolled down forever, but just in case:) Chicago had two songs more or less about themselves on their first two albums: "Introduction" from The Chicago Transit Authority and "Moving In" from Chicago II. Both were sung by the grossly underrated Terry Kath and each allowed the brass section to stretch out…

I would like to cite "Milwaukee" by The Both (Aimee Mann and Ted Lio), but then I am a sucker for Aimee Mann's music.

…four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves…

With The Fray dominating the soundtrack.

1. Journey. Never liked them in when I was in high school. Still do not like them now. Always a part someone's record "collection" who does not own almost anything else. Always comes out some hip dude's Camero, thinking it will attract those from the previous sentence's camp.
2. Ballparks which now have…
