Guitar World

Just dropping by on a Friday afternoon, playing hooky from The Job, about to go see the first really interesting looking new film in a couple weeks, the Julie Delpy film.... Music! random 10! videos! the iPod randomizer was in a 6 string frenzy this week....

1. Wire - The Other Window - not quite a harbinger of what is to come, being light on the prototypical Wire, um, wiry guitar parts and... but....
2. Fugazi - Walken's Syndrome - this is more like it - a band that is about the guitar....
3. Madvillain featuring Stacy Epps - Eye
4. Sonny & Linda Sharrock - Miss Doris - my second favorite 70s husband and wife guitar hero/singer combo - Linda wails, Sonny waits, it's 6 minutes in before he lets loose but it's worth the wait, a first rate piece of avant-garde soloing....
5. Tom Verlaine - Balcony - from his recent solo instrumental record...
6. Johnny Cash - The Ways of a Woman in Love - anything with Luther on it is going to contribute to the world of the guitar
7. Buck Owens - Together Again - lighter than some Buck Owens on the tele parts, but some fine steel guitar,a nd a very nice song...
8.Richard & Linda Thompson - Georgie on a Spree - my favorite 70s husband and wife guitar hero and singer combo, though less of a guitar workout than the Sharrock's offer, or the Thompson's could give. Though I suppose that's part of why they're my favorites over the Sharrock's - songs....
9. Sonic Youth - Sympathy for the Strawberry
10. The Fall - Kicker Conspiracy... speaking of husband & wife singer guitarist teams... the Smith's, um, kick it, in, um, this one....

Video? not the song, but the same album, and with Linda Thompson having a new record out, a good time to feature her. This is pretty close to absolutely perfect.
