John Says

May 4, 2008

… three of the more dramatic domestic events…

Yesterday I listened to (and blogged) Leslie Winer’s “5″ from Witch. She’s uploaded the whole album to YouTube. Toward the end of “5″ we hear a dramatic harmonic, dramatic to my generation, the simple progression from a high E up to the B above it. At least I think those are the notes I heard. It doesn’t matter really. What mattered to me at that moment was the brief echo, repeated, of the opening of the Buffalo Springfield tune, “For What It’s Worth.” Allusive.

Today I heard “John Says.” I loved it. Cinematic. Reggaelistic.

Blair Millen wrote about this album three or four years ago.
