    • 11.05 Crazy, Dead Letter Office

      Tough choice between a few songs, but I'm swayed by Sheep's "album" concept and this pairs well with Stand.

      • Damn. I had Wake Up Bomb and Lightnin Hopkins on my short list.

        11.07 Circus Envy, Monster



        I do like the Monster album for the most part, so I needed something from it. This is a cool live version from 95.

            I very nearly took a different song from this album. I am sure you can guess which one.
            Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

              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.

                • 11.11 - Letter Never Sent (Reckoning)

                  "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."

                        Figured I should have at least 1 post-Monster song.

                        • 12.04 The Outsiders, Around the Sun

                          This video has my last two picks from a concert in 2004.


                          Hell with it... another "featuring" selection.

                          • I still have more than 10 songs on my list. I have to pick this one.

                            12.05 Leaving New York, Around The Sun

                            • Thanks for letting me jump in on this. While I really wanted something from Dead Letter Office as my last pick, there's no way this song can go undrafted. This was the Bill Berry song I was referring to a few rounds back. The only reason I resisted it this long was because I didn't want to take a 3rd song from Murmur. Oh well, so be it. The three-part harmony on this is fantastic.

                              12.06 West of the Fields, Murmur



                              I also found a video that talks about the meaning behind this song. Apparently, Stipe was living in New Orleans when he was 20 and would walk near the Elysian Fields (and consequently come across some manner of trouble there).

                              Stephen, please use the Live in Toronto version of this on the Murmur Extended Edition for Spotify.
