Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians - The Wheel
So this was a different kind of night, and we did it in person! very little commentary for these, as Jeff slacked off and didn't take notes. Jeff launched it with some Edie!
John Lennon - Watching the Wheels
Chris calls this Lennon's "Fuck You!"
Soundgarden - Ty Cobb
Jeff calls this Soundgarden's "Fuck you, fight, dance, fuck, chaotic fun times"
Nine Inch Nails - Big Man With a Gun
Why does Jeff play this every other time?

The room was lit by electric lights. Just saying.

That's a lot of do de da.
