• Song 399: A Passage To Bangkok
    In the years since 1977 I have grown to be a fan of Rush, have several albums (including 2112) by them, and this song is probably my favorite of theirs.
  • Song 400: Waste Not Want Not
    If anyone asks me my favorite Pretenders song, “Waste Not Want Not” is probably going to be it.
  • Song 401: Dinosaur Act
    Matthew Sweet deserves more listens. He came from the same Georgia music scene as R.E.M. He’s had some hits, but Dinosaur Act was not one of them.
  • Song 402: Less Than Zero
    The debut album by Elvis Costello is an underestimated classic. Most of us know a song or two from it, but it was chock full of great songs and although Costello has had a great music career, I find it hard to say he’s done anything better than this first album.
  • Song 403: The Needle Has Landed
    Neko Case’s “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood” could be my favorite album of 2006. It brings back memories of working out with weights at the YMCA, and of vacationing with family in Montana. It’s an album that I had on heavy rotation for my personal listening for a long time.
  • Song 404: America
    They should play this song before sports events. And we could all wear gabardine suits. I don’t even know what gabardine is. Sounds uncomfortable.
