The B List: Songs of Summer ’07

The summer has been incredibly kind to Hidden Track. Both Ace and I have seen a ton of good shows, and we’ve both come across some great music that we’ve shared with our readers. Before the season officially ends, we’re gonna point out the tracks that helped us beat the heat. This week’s B List pays tribute to 10 songs that really stood out to us this summer…


10. On July 13th Ace previewed two exclusive, unfinished tracks from A Big Yes and a small no, including I’m Always Manic

9. One of my favorite shows of the summer was the Crowded House performance at the Masonic Lodge on July 21st where they played a bunch of new material; the best of these was the frenetic She Called Up

Grand National: A Drink and a Quick Decision

Save for a couple pleasing exceptions – "Joker and Clown" and "By the Time I Get Home." – most of this Grand National sounds like Turin Brakes.  Either that, or present-day ponderous Electric Soft Parade.  Unappealing touchstones.
