Weekly Soundtrack

1. "While Away" by Madder Rose...Some asshole slagged this song in Spin magazine and I haven't read it since.
2. "Cotton Crown" by Sonic Youth...I thought Whitney Houston should have done a version of this song. Before she became a crackhead.
3. "Blue Line Swinger" by Yo La Tengo...Chosen over the more prosaic (and admittedly better) "Tom Courtenay." The cd box lists the time as 3:15 but in actuality the song is more like 10 minutes of slowly building guitars, murmured, unintelligible vocals and, finally, a drawn-out guitar freakout. So I ask you: What's not to like?
