The Click Wheel Five IV
Today's Click Wheel Five comes as a response to an unstoppable run of, like, twenty songs that a friend pulled off yesterday with her iPod on shuffle. I'm scared.
I don't have to defend any Cash song that comes up, and certainly not this one. Off to a good start.
I swear this one's come up before. Kill The Moonlight is my Spoon of choice, and I think "Stay Don't Go" kinda sums it up: a spare, swaggering pulse of a song.
It's hard to think of this (good) song in the context of purely a song, and not goofy hair or Grand Theft or stupid dance parties. Was anybody who references this song even alive when it was released?
Back on top with Favela Booty Beats, baby!
I love to hear an unknown band that plays songs like they should be classics. And, if life was fair, this would be a classic.
Dare I go for more?
I really don't like this. I guess that's why I only do five.
