Cold Brains by Beck

I came across this song while putting my iPod into shuffle mode. I downloaded Beck albums back when the band I was playing with jammed a couple of Beck songs.

Given a steady back-beat, driving bass and decent acoustic guitar work a few harmonica lines, Beck makes the most out of a relatively simple production.

Cold brains,
Unmoved,
Untouched,
Unglued
Alone at last

No thoughts,
No mind
To rot
Behind
A trail of disasters


A final curse
Abandon hearse
We ride disowned
Corroded to the bone


The fields of green
Are bent, obscene
I lay upon the gravel

A worm of hope
A hangman's rope
Pulls me one way or the other

A final curse
Abandoned hearse
We write this song
Corroded to the bone

A bird of song
Is heard no longer
In the evacuated heavens

The drain is drawn
And drained and gone
And on and on, it doesn't matter

A final curse
Abandoned hearse
We ride this old
Corroded to the bone

Rhinoceros by Smashing Pumpkins

I owned a copy of the Gish album for more than 3 years now, but I just started to appreciate it. I started to appreciate Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins more after really listening to the song Drown. Rhinoceros has a similar feel and features a buzzing guitar solo, similar to ones that I've grown fond of from Kurt Cobain.

Planned a show
Trees and Balloons
Ice cream snow
See you in June
Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way
She knows, she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
How's it
She knows, she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way
Open your eyes
To these must I lie?
