Pete Townshend (The Who) with J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr) - “See Me Feel Me”
In The Attic Live At Joe’s PubTownshend 18 Feb 2007Very rare recording of the short lived (but awesome) live from Joe’s Pub series that Pete Townshend was doing with his wife where they would have other artists sit in for songs.

Pete came out on acoustic (as he would all night) and plopped himself down next to J. and noted, “This was J.’s choice, I think it might surprise people.” J. wrinkled his forehead, pouted his lip a bit and nodded in silent approval. The crowd was hushed. J. and Pete exchanged glances. A slight strum from Pete and then he let out the words, “See me…. feel me.” Suffice to say there was a collective, “Holy shit” from the crowd. The two traded verses with the energy building to the solo which Mascis attacked voraciously, effecting an electric tone from the acoustic with a quick pedal stomp. Townshend was beaming and egged him into another solo. Goosebumps were popping throughout the 160-person venue. Mascis had seemed a slightly odd fit on paper but now it was coming together in master strokes. The song’s conclusion was met with thunderous applause. “Wow” is all I kept saying to myself. People were giving each other those “can you believe that” shoves and smiles.
This is the song I’ve had stuck in my head lately. I haven’t listened to it over a beer yet but I want to.

Favorite song from the new album so far.
Surfer Blood - Swim
As the first new band I’ve heard this year, Surfer Blood kick off 2010 on a strong note. Here’s hoping some other bands follow suit…

A song for the way I’m feelin’.
The Old 97’s - Big Brown Eyes (via dividing.wordpress.com)
Though I’ve heard this song a thousand times, the cleverness of the lyrics never cease to amaze me.
Vampire Weekend - Cousins (via winniecooper.net) Didn’t really care for their first album but the new one is pretty solid. Here’s one of the better songs from it.
Jason Lytle - Brand New Sun
A song for all of you who have already broken your new year’s resolutions
