Live Built to Spill, And The Best Radiohead Covers & Collaborations I Ever Heard!!
You folks already met Kristy by now, so she needs no further introduction from me. Nice to have a fresh new voice to talk about this and that. Talking about this and that, here's a cracker of a post-a bloody double-header. First up, classic Built to Spill, as Doug Martsch leads the boys out of the dugout on March 13th, 1999 for this live set over at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland, OR. Call it the Perfect From Now On and Keep It Like A Secret tour. And if you know your Built to Spill, you know these albums were the peak. Oh, those guitar hooks on "Else"! And when the guitars come crashing in on "Randy Described Eternity"!The Plan
Center of the Universe
Twin Falls
Kicked It In the Sun
Bad Light
Time Trap
Else
Sidewalk
Randy Described Eternity
Temporarily Blind
Stop the Show
You Were Right
I Would Hurt a Fly

Broken Chairs
And to get our collective pulse racing, here's the best compilation of "Radiohead sings the songs of others" I ever heard. Hell yeah!!

Not sure I even know what it means, but I do intend to tell the story behind the name. I was hoping one of you geniuses could figure out a meaning that matches the story. Checking out you contest right now and thanks for stopping by.
Feel like I've hit the Radiohead jackpot!
Thanks :)
This list forgot to include "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2. I don't know when or where it happened, but I found with a you-know-what kind of program.
Radiohead def. isn't on Cowboy song, FYI.
Sorry naysayers, "Rhinestone Cowboy" was indeed performed by Radiohead - I've got the bootlegged video of the performance. However, the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" cover mentioned above was, in fact, performed by U2 and not Radiohead. I was fooled by that one, too.
