The Scientist - Aimee Mann This used to be the number two song on my list, but after some quick
smart decisions its jumped down a few spots. Whilst it's not an Aimee
Mann written song, it's a song which she makes her own. I used to be
extremely keen on Coldplay's A Rush Of Blood To The Head, but alas, not
anymore. However, this one song is quite superb. Mann's cover of it is
beautiful and the last thirty seconds are timeless. Whilst Aimee Mann
has done such fantastic songs like Pavlov's Belll, Save Me, Wise Up and
The Fall Of The World's Own Optimist, her cover of The Scientist is the
best song I've ever heard from her.
I found an old copy of Hello Nasty! by the Beastie Boys in my bedroom
the other day and I've been listening to it quite a bit. It's making me
crave some Control Machete, and almost making me want to go and fling
fifty bucks on the Amores Perros soundtrack just to hear Control
Machete. Sigh.
There's a new Pixies DVD out. Wow.
