Get Set Go: “I Hate Everyone”

March 8, 2006 /

Poor George. He finally gets to sleep with Meredith and she starts bawling in the middle of it. It turns out she’s still hung up on Dr. McDreamy and really has no interest in good ol’ Georgie-boy. Fans of “Grey’s Anatomy” know exactly what I’m talking about, but you don’t have to watch the show to enjoy the music.

This song, from Get Set Go’s second album, Ordinary World, was playing during the scene where George sought help for his dislocated shoulder. It’s quite catchy and the lyrics are funny.

Madeleine Peyroux: “Don’t Wait Too Long”

March 3, 2006 /

You’ll recognize this song from the Dockers commercial where a man and a woman see each other on passing cable cars. One decides to get off, goes around to get on the other car, only to miss it. The two cars move off, leaving the man and woman standing on opposite sides of the tracks. What this has to do with pants I do not know.

The song itself is a jazzy little number with a great little repeating bass line. Peyroux provides the perfectly subtle vocals.

Stephen Malkmus: “It Kills”

February 28, 2006 /

Ever woke up in the morning with a song in your head? That was the case this AM for me. The song? “It Kills” by indie rock icon Stephen Malkmus. Released last year on his third solo record, Face The Truth, the track is a slow rocker which features great guitar and vocals from the former member of Pavement.

Great, now I’m going to have it in my head all day.

Geto Boys: “Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta”

February 23, 2006 /

I recommended my #1 rap song of all time a few days ago, so why don’t we talk about #2?

It wasn’t released by the Geto Boys until 1992 on their first “best of” compilation, Uncut Dope: Geto Boys’ Best, but it appeared on my limited rap radar in 1999 during my first viewing of the Mike Judge comedy, “Office Space.” The song is used brilliantly during the movie – I’m not sure I can describe it any better than this cat, so I’ll just quote him:

Against Geto Boys’ rap declaration “Damn, it Feels Good to be a Gangsta,” (Ron Livingston’s character, Peter) commits acts of small and liberating vandalism in the office, while management and serf alike are struck dumb by his unprecedented behavior. Eventually, his sense of entitlement becomes hubristic; he dares too much and risks a terrible end.

The song features a phat groove (that’s right – with a “ph”), a simple yet effective beat, and some graphic lyrics. The best verse comes at the end when one of the Boys raps from the point of view of the then-President Bush.

Jurassic 5: “Quality Control”

February 21, 2006 /

For me to like a rap song, it has to have some considerable crossover potential. It needs a solid beat, a good groove and meaningful lyrics. “Quality Control” is my all-time favorite rap song, and even though I don’t really dance, this one gets me moving every time.

You can find it on their album, aptly named Quality Control.

Listen to a song clip here.

I’m a rock guy, but I wouldn’t mind hearing more rap like this – anyone have a suggestion?
