I like this track, it's a cover of the original Husker Du song but I like this one more I think. Not got much more to say, haven't come prepared for this week but this would have been yesterday's track if I'd known. I know this is a bit much for some of you, and please see if you can listen all the way through, I know it initially sounds like there isn't any complexity to this but there really is… And after a while you get into it in a strange way. Anyway, what you got to lose? About 2 1/2 minutes of your life as all… So please hang in there guys In honour of our current lovely weather One of my favourite Husker-Du songs. I love the album too still. I am going to put 'Flip Your Wig' up in my week to carry the little un-heard thing on.

By the time Husker Du got to New Day Rising I was a little disappointed, their early records were a raging racket which I loved. This songs was good, and I know everyone loved Grant Hart's drumming, but he's nowhere near as powerful as Dave Grohl.

Another track I wouldn’t have chosen to listen to in a million years, but really enjoyed

threehundred & OneBeatThat is exactly what I thought, Dave on this track has elevated it somewhere else. I could watch him drum all day, he is superb

today's track is a cover, by one of my favourite bands, Dinosaur Jr, sometimes they are utter crap, sometimes they are sublime.
This is sublime disguised as utter crap, all the disharmony and the discord in this track is perfect!
I mean PERFECT!
I mean it is all over the place at first listen, but really, when you get down to it, you realise this is a perfectly orchestrated homage to a wonderful musician and songwriter, "The Bridge" is one of my most favourite albums ever, it is a cover album of Neil Young songs by some of my favourite artist of that generation, all the proceeds of which went to charity. All these artists were heavily influenced by Neil and his creations over the previous decades even if they don't sound like it sometimes.
Anyway this is my favourite track from that compilation. and though I like the original by Neil, I also think this is my favourite version of this song.
Dinosaur Jr, Lotta Love

Dinosaur Jr, Lotta Love That’s bonkers, but I like it. I don’t listen to Dinosaur Jr enough, in fact I don’t own enough of their stuff.

I love Neil.
I’m afraid that’s fingernails down a blackboard…
I do feel a strange compulsion to check out the rest of the album, though.

Just checked out the whole album… some I don’t like - but that’s fine - others I think are just brilliant. I’m a massive fan of Pixies and hadn’t heard their cover of Winterlong before… completely awesome. I detest (yes - strong, but true) Nick Cave, but thought his cover of Helpless was a real highlight. Thanks, THE BEAST

today's listen is from one of my most favourite artists of all time, in fact I think I own more albums from this guy than any other single act.
I find some of his earlier stuff easier to listen to if I'm honest, it's a bit country and western, and then he went theatrical musical and then jazz… After which he just disappeared into his own world… Some of that is a little dense for me and I have trouble listening to some of his more recent stuff although weirdly, I do like this track.
I thought I would be playing you one of Tom's really early ones, my most favourite album of his is "The Early Years Volume 1", which will suit a lot of you (not you tone!), And is one of my most played complete albums… I don't know why I like it so much because it's very laid-back, but I just love it. So if you like Tom and you haven't heard that one yet, I would advise you to listen.
HOWEVER…
I'm gonna go for something more recent, more what people would recognise as Tom Waits, more eclectic, more just plain weird… It's from the album "Bone Machine", and I don't know why but this song just stuck in my head and it's never gone away.
So I give you "Tom Waits, The Earth Died Screaming"

sorry people, forgot to post my last track of the week.
I was so sad when he died, he was such a great voice, but he stays with me in a lot of his work with a lot of other people, screaming trees, QOTS, his work with Isobel Campbell and so many other contributions to music both on his own or as collaborations with others. He was a tragic yet majestic figure and I adore his voice…
so with no further preamble I give you Mark Lanegan and the wonderful track "One Hundred Days"
