Murals - "Eyes of Love"

This song is fantastic because it's almost 1920's with its school room piano and reverberated sound, but the rest of the song brings you into home, right now.

"Hey" - The Pixies

Wow. Amazing what 25 years does to musical perspective.

Few gave The Pixies the credit they deserved through the '90's as bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc were the ones to become famous with the fast-slow, fast-slow "alternative" sound. Foundational songs like this one were amazing achievements in an era dominated by glam rock and Brit pop.



And here's the original if interested.

"Two Cousins" ~ Slow Club

While the recorded version of this track is absolutely fabulous and brings back great memories, I stumbled upon this live version of the song tonight and was impressed ... and made me think how acoustic slow-downs can make songs better ... maybe because they're that much closer to the original, more composition-close versions of what we hear on our radio and digital feeds, like the personal versions of ourselves, instead of the online, made-up, publicized versions.
