Pearl Jam performed and recorded a live show at Benaroya Hall in Seattle in 2003 (The Hall where the Seattle Symphony performs).  For the most part, the live CD was never distributed on a wide scale.  Many of the songs they performed that night were somewhat obscure and average as far as live CD’s go.  Of course, if you were there that night, it may have well been the best live show of all time…. I digress.

One song in particular was out of this world.  Most mainstream Pearl Jam fans will recognize and likely will be able to sing along to “Black”.  It is by far one of their most mellow and comfortable cuts of their catalog…. So back to the show.  This live recording is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!  In fact it may be ONE OF THE BEST LIVE SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD.

At the 4:00 minute mark of this song it turns into pure magic.  The crowd sings the chorus which leads into an amazing guitar solo that mellows into a piano riff that every music fan should know very well.  Close your eyes and listen.  If this song doesn’t give you goosebumps you need to check your pulse.

First off, sorry for the long delay on the posts.  Ivy Simone created a little speed bump to my posting rhythm.  Love ya Ives!

“Heart it Races” is a great cut laid down by a total sleeper band, Architecture In Helsinki.  The original track by Architecture In Helsinki has an M.I.A/Santagold’esqu drum beat with an killer steel drum riff that resurfaces throughout the song.  As you digest it for the second and third time it really grows on you.  I am not sure how I missed this song back in 2007.  That is the joy of great music, there is always a killer cut out there that you have yet to discover.

The best part of discovering this cut may be the remake version released on an “Heart it Races” EP which is performed by one of my favorite bands, Dr Dog.  Dr Dog is on my cutbucket.com “yet to be posted bands” list.  Their version of “Heart it Races” outshines the original in my opinion.  Take a listen to both and let me know what you think.

At first I felt like “Golden Phone” was way too busy and random… but after a few listens, I love it.  Headphones and 3 or 4 drinks totally help.  Give it a few spins and see what you think.  It has a funky Outkast kinda beat with a new indie-techno-afro-pop kick.
