Nice 5 for you, Pete. I wish I got the Petty show in the UK. Your Counting Crows play. I just had a “shuffle-moment” with them the other day when “Richard Manuel is Dead” came on. Good song. Why weren’t these guys more consistent. Duritz and his Friends-episode?

Really oddball mix this week:

Dio—”Killing the Dragon.” A chugging metal track—the title track from an under-appreciated Dio record. I cannot for the life of me remember who’s playing on this, but it kicks serious ass.

The Hold Steady—”Lord, I’m Discouraged.” My favorite album last year was Stay Positive, and this is one of the best tracks on it. It’s like Springsteen writing the Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels.” The first half of the song builds steadily to a remarkable guitar solo. Great vocal from Craig Finn.

Beastie Bous—”Brass Monkey.” Not my favorite Beasties song, but a butt-thumper nonetheless.

Rush—”Test for Echo.” Another title track from an under-appreciated album. The main riff in this really cooks.

Elliott Smith—”Between the Bars.” Either/Or is just an amazing record. The melody and chord progression on this one are beautiful. He really made beautiful music.

1. “Ca Ne Se Prete Pas” by Pamelo Mounka from “L’Incontournable.”
About a month ago, a friend gave me a bunch of Senagalese music to listen to, because it’s a genre that I know absolutely nothing about. This is one of the tracks. I still don’t know much, but I like some of it.

2. “Retromuff” by Hot IQs from “Dangling Modifier” EP, 2006. A local (Denver) band. I try to support the local artists when I can.

3. “Brigade” by the Decemberists, live in Washington, DC, from an NPR broadcast, 2005

4. “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love” by Mad Lads from “The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968″ Not sure where I got this from.

5. “As Time Goes By” by Mandy Patinkin from “Experiment” (1994). Because I have always been in lust with this man’s voice, ever since Evita.
