5 Songs I am Into Right Now

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks- Dragonfly Pie
From the album Real Emotional Trash (2008).
Pavenment's front man shows that he can play some good old fashion classic rock in sludgy Black Sabbath sort of way, but keeps the 90s College Radio vocals alive.

Sonic Youth- Reena
From the album Rather Ripped (2006)
Alternative icon's keep their sound and swagger in an only slightyly updated (not too updated though) version of themselves, playing behind Kim Gordon's vocals.

A Place To Bury Strangers- Missing You
From the album A Place To Bury Strangers (2007)
Brooklyn's loudest band comes through with a song that almost seems to be a slightly harder shout out to My Bloody Valentine.

Lou Reed- Goodnight Ladies
From the album Transformer (1978)
The Godfather of everything glam and indie gives a song that is almost a showtune about a night going home all alone in Manhattan.

Tom Waits- Goin' Out West
From the album Bone Machine (1992)
Great song for drinking whiskey, forgeting your problems, then taking the bottle and smashing it over the guy's head who hasn't shut up all night.
