God Only Knows by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

It’s a challenge to cover this song, which is regarded as one of the greatest songs of all time. That’s why Boogie Nights used it for the “coke years” montage. These guys did a great job keeping the lovable elements in place (e.g., harmonies, percussion, the little flute part on the last verse) while retaining their own vibe. That’s the point, ininit?

Labels and blogs are giving shit to NazcarNation because of their name. I wonder if Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. ran into similar problems. They should tour together.

Best of 2010: The MUST DIE Top 5 EPs

Oh how we love these no-filler nuggets.

The EP format has been around longer than the LP format, and it seems to be making a comeback as of late. This year there were tote-loads of quality EPs (partial thanks to Bandcampy for that) and we had a tough time limiting this list to 5.

(in alpha order)

Brothertiger - Vision Tunnels

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - Horse Power EP

Keepaway - Baby Style

Tanlines - Settings

Twin Sister - Color Your Life

*******

Check out our MUST DIE Top 20 Albums list and stay tuned for our Honors Menchy (the gems that didn’t make the cut).

We’ll Call It Mourning: Reflecting on the work of Gil Scott-Heron

I was lucky enough to see Gil play at the 9:30 Club in DC a few years back. He spent about 50% of the time telling stories and the other 50% playing his tunes. People were on the edge of their seats or dancing 100% of the time (sit down shows are rare at 9:30 Club). You can tell many people in the crowd were longtime followers of Gil. I was definitely in the minority.

It’s strange that he’s most known by his generation for “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, which shows his strengths as a poet but not as a musician. For my generation, he is probably most known (or most unknown) for Kayne’s sample of “Home Is Where The Hatred Is”. I’ll remember him for his smooth yet energetic singing style (see the posted song above, “I Think I’ll Call It Morning”) as well as his moody jazz keys (see “Rivers of My Fathers”). His albums will continue to be in our rotation whenever we need a piece of sunshine.
