amen! for bruce mentioning “someday we’ll know” by the new radicals. (and sad that most people who hear it will only hear the “eh” cover version mandy moore did for one of her movies). wolf colonel “jet ski accidents”—> liz phair “fuck and run” ben lee “cigarettes will kill you”—> ben folds “brick” self “so low”—> beck “loser” atmosphere “good times (sick pimpin’)—> snoop dogg “gin and juice” mc paul barman “cock mobster”—> eminem “my name is” kevin devine “ballgame”—> john mayer “no such thing” this was fun, thanks.

(Some of these are a bit of of a stretch… but bear with me) Oasis “Hello” -> Toad the Wet Sprocket “All I Want” The Killers “Change Your Mind” -> U2 “Beautiful Day” The Decemberists “Grace Cathedral Hill” -> The Verve Pipe “The Freshmen” Kings of Convenience “Homesick” -> Simon & Garfunkel “The Sounds of Silence” Ryan Adams “I See Monsters” -> James Taylor “You Can Close Your Eyes” Sondre Lerche “It’s Over” -> The Beach Boys “God Only Knows” Apollo Sunshine “I Was on the Moon” -> Jackson 5 “I Want You Back” Ben Kweller “In Other Words” -> The Beatles “Let It Be” The Shins “Gone for Good” -> Sam Cooke “Cupid” Couldn’t think of anything for these: Nada Surf “Blizzard of ’77” Death Cab for Cutie “Death of an Interior Decorator”

Let’s see … the greatest song ever is “2-4-6-8 Motorway” by Tom Robinson, but that was a big hit in England. The second-greatest song ever is “Red Dragon Tattoo” by Fountains of Wayne, but they’ve been covered here already. So, I’ll go with “Blood and Roses” by the Smithereens.

Good work on noting Beulah before I did…basically everything on “The Coast Is Never Clear,” their third album, is a pop hit in waiting, especially “Night Is the Day Turned Inside-Out,” which could pass for something John Mayer-y. Also, some mixtape staples: Earlimart, “We Drink on the Job” Saturday Looks Good to Me, “Alcohol” Aislers Set, “Through the Swells” Gorillaz, “Rock the House” Guided by Voices, “Choking Tara”
