You know how some songs have to grow on you, like the character of some show that you don’t like in the beginning but end up liking most? Here is the thing: those songs belong to my absolute favorite. You have to learn how they work, a process of time, before you can sway along. The first remembrance I have of one of those gems was Perl Jams Rearviewmirror, or perhaps a tad earlier, I am the walrus by the fab four. Also, “When I am down” by Chris Cornell took me a while to get, but ended up being one of my faves. With people, it can be the same. It can start off critical, but end up in trumpets and trombones. That said, I like trumpets and trombones which ultimately brings me to this post’s earfuzz. Radiohead once did a song, “Just”, which was on The Bends. I must admit I kinda liked the song immediately, especially the rolling lead licks at the end, but it got boring really quickly (nothing like the awesome “Exit music for a film”). If I could only have imagined what would happen with Just if the final lead licks would be done with a trumpet attitude. And that in style. Well, Mark Ronson, a British music producer, did Just that. He took a remix of Radioheads “Just”, sung by the lead singer of Phanotom Planet (duh… The OCs title theme) Alex Greenwald for the radiohead tribute album “Exit Music: Songs with Radio Heads”, and remixed it yet again to produce a simply fabulous groove by the same title. This song has it in spades (as does the rest of the album by Mark Ronson entitled “Version”) and is a must hear (despite the fact that, sound wise, the largest part of the brass section are comprised of pompous saxophones). I particularly think that a friend of mine, who’s birthday has just passed, will enjoy the song, possibly launching into the famous nilsarian ententanz – the brilliant duckmoves. Do it, dude.
