    \n
  1. Naftule’s Dream, “Something is There”<\/b>: What do you get when you mix up a traditional Klezmer band with Ornette Coleman, plus just a bit of thrash? Naftule’s Dream.<\/li>\n
  2. Genesis, “Counting out Time”<\/b>: a catchy little tune from Peter Gabriel’s opus with
    \nGenesis, “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”: It’s astonishing just how undated this sounds.<\/li>\n
  3. Mogwai, “Glasgow Mega-Snake”<\/b>: one of my favorite tracks by one of my favorite post-rock bands. This one should be listened to loud<\/em> to really get the full effect.<\/li>\n
  4. Pink Floyd, “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 3)”<\/b>: Wow, now here’s one I haven’t listened
    \nto in a very long time. It’s as good as I remembered.<\/li>\n
  5. Porcupine Tree, “Prepare Yourself”<\/b>: Brilliant stuff from Porcupine Tree.<\/li>\n
  6. New Grange, “Going to Boston”<\/b>: This is what happens when Darol Anger gets goofy: a sort
    \nof old-timey rap song based on a traditional New England fiddle tune. This is great fun to see
    \nlive.<\/li>\n
  7. Hugh Blumenfield, “Longhaired Radical Socialist Jew”<\/b>: the greatest gospel song of all time. “Jesus was a homeless lad with an unwed mother and an absent dad; And I don’t really think he’d
    \nhave gotten that far, if Newt, Pat, and Jesse had followed that star. So let’s all sing out praised to that Longhaired Radical Socialist Jew”.<\/li>\n
  8. Rush, “Bravest Face”<\/b>: It’s really good to hear Rush back in full form. This is a great song, and so obviously Rush – the Peart drums, the Lifeson guitar playing, and above it all Geddy Lee’s voice and amazing bass playing.<\/li>\n
  9. Spock’s Beard, “All That’s Left”<\/b>: SB is a great neo-progressive band. They went through
    \na bit of a rough patch a few years ago, when the former leader of the band found Jesus and quit the
    \nband. This album is the first where they really feel like they’re comfortable with the new lineup. It’s definitely got a different sound from a lot of their older stuff, but it’s still recognizable as the same band. This is a really nice track – it’s almost a ballad, but with a really solid structure, some odd rythyms, and a lot of transitions. <\/li>\n
  10. Jonathan Coulton, “Todd the T1000”<\/b>: A very<\/em> silly song from a very geeky pop-singer. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
