Good job, brother mine. All these songs are great, but I'd never seen the videos for most of these, and they're all over the place: some good, some bad, some absolutely ridiculous. The Gold Sounds video, in particular, is just weird. I love the Returning to the Fold video, though.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting group "Spoon". I hadn't heard of them before. So glad to see the Bosstones. My that brings back memories.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get #5 the first time you played it for me, but it's definitely grown on me. Although I still have no idea what he's saying.
