Broke down and learned "Million Dollar Bill" today. I figured that, if I'm going to listen to it 25 times in a day, that a) I probably know it through osmosis, and b) if that's the case, I might as well just go through the song officially. It's a fairly easy song, but then again, the great ones always are... which kind of makes me wonder why it is that those of us writing songs always spend all this time dreaming up weird chords that never quite seem to end up working out. If we'd just stick with the tried and true, we might have more songs. Oh well. Sent a message to a friend today, saying that I'd discovered the "most heartbreakingly sad love song of the year," and then discovered that she had been listening to "Me Me Me," which is the single from the Middle Brother record. Weird, huh? Took some time tonight to go through all of the CDs that have wound up piled next to the racks that are already filled to overflowing with music. Most of it is burned CDs, some of it with track listing, some of it not. One of these days I need to catalog all of that stuff, and find someplace to actually put it. Also, I spent a few minutes wading through some things for the practice regimen. I hadn't intended to do that (was actually looking for something completely unrelated), but found some things that need to be included, and some things I got to eliminate. Not concrete progress, but a few ideas nonetheless.
Okay, so Dave's voice was kinda shot last night and the show was still epic. Here's what they played: Run All My Life Learn to Fly The Pretender The Sky Is a Neighborhood Rope ( with solo's ) Sunday Rain My Hero These Days Walk Under My Wheels / Jump / Another One Bites the Dust / Blitzkrieg Bop ( w/ band introductions ) Big Me Congregation Breakout Times Like These This Is a Call Under Pressure ( Queen cover) Monkey Wrench Breakdown ( Tom Petty cover) Best of You Dirty Water Let There Be Rock ( AC/DC cover) Everlong And here is a little bit of "Big Me," just for fun:
