Aaand we're now to the point where I have to start discovering new songs to draft. Luckily it didn't take long to get to this one which although somewhat repetitive is quite catchy and has a cool chorus:
I’ve never encountered another Stones fan that thought this track was anything but filler, but dammit, I like it. Even though I usually cringe when I hear Mick Jagger singing falsetto, it kinda works for me on this track – it sets up the punchier vocals in the last half of the song nicely. Ah, well, one man’s trash… LOL
I listened to Tattoo You a lot over the weekend, and was trying to put my finger on why I like this record better than anything else since Exile. Aside from the fact that a lot of the music came from earlier sessions, I think there was a sense of sincerity in the Side Two ballads that had been missing for awhile. It sounded like they cared about the art of their music again.
And if you’re not interested in sitting through the studio version you’ve already heard, here’s a cool little rehearsal clip I found. Fun stuff…
11.01 – Turd On The Run (Exile On Main Street, 1972)
Another one, like Rip This Joint, that has some pretty entertaining lyrics that no one knows about because they’re nearly unintelligible. I was gonna post’em, but the search filter at work flags them as pornography…
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."
And the award for latest Stones recording goes to ME ME ME ... this is a really good tune, and they recapture the feel of 1972 nicely. Anyone (when I say anyone I mean Erik of course) know any more details about this song ... is it a redux from an old song or a bootleg?
11.04 Plundered My Soul, Exile On Main Street: Bonus Disc 2010
Jagger-Richards-Taylor-Watts-Wyman (according to the impeccable resource that is wikipedia)
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

11.07 If You Can't Rock Me (It's Only Rock and Roll)
"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
With the release of the Exile bonus disc, this is now probably their greatest unreleased song. Recorded during the Goat's Head Soup sessions in late 1972, it is better than at least half of the tracks that made it on the album.
12.02 Criss Cross Man (unreleased, recorded in 1972)

We pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
