Song of the Day
"No way to say goodbye" by The Lemonheads featuring Liv Tyler. Listen here.
I can't believe this is so good! I've blogged a few times about how the Lemonheads used to be tied for favorite band with Guns-n-Roses but the last truly great Lemonheads album was "Shame About Ray". I was reminded of this the other day when The Stalwart twittered that he was listening to "Being Around" and while I found "Come on Feel", the album on which the song appears, not terrible, it reminded me of how much better the Lemonheads were before. "Being Around" is my least favorite song on the album and I pretty much have to hit "skip" when Evan Dando starts singing about eating and keeping boogers.
But this Leonard Cohen cover has me truly excited to get Varshons and well, I haven't been excited about an album in some time. And who knew Liv Tyler had such a cute little voice?

Not going to defend it as a great song (it's not), but I actually enjoy Being Around. That and Alison's starting to happen go through my head more than anything else of theirs these days.

I agree.
Nothing else seems to be in your head...certainly not Economics 101, History 101, or Common Sense 101.
That's my favorite Leonard Cohen song. It also makes more sense than most of his songs, which no doubt has something to do with it.

But I'm glad somebody else appreciate Liv Tyler; she is an amazing beauty.
Posted by: Tatyana at July 13, 2009 07:47 AMthe b-side version of Being Around is far better than the Come On Feel version. The song was originally recorded during the Ray sessions. Along with the b-side version of Dawn Can't Decide, where you can clearly tell the band is drunk when recording.
I'm with Karol about the TAANG! years being far better than the Atlantic years. Though Lovely is a lovely album.
