246 Either / Or; Neither / Nor

1. 
   "Dogs Of Lust", The The; I discovered recently that The Smiths' Johnny Marr also was an occasional guitarist for other established bands like Pretenders and The The!
   
2. "Hit The Road, Jack" Ray Charles
3. "I Got A Man", Positive K
4. "Kiss That Frog" Peter Gabriel
5. "D.J." David Bowie; I read somewhere this song referenced as "influenced by Talking Heads", so I gave it a spin.
6. "Open All Night" (Nebraska Live version) on Bruce Springsteen's new Nebraska box set, he recorded an all-new performance of the entire album, live (without an audience).
7. "Miles From Nowhere", fellow Garden Staters The Smithereens
8. "Actually Romantic", Taylor Swift was been called out for swiping a Pixies riff for this song; I say there's only so many chords in the world.
9. "You Got It" Roy Orbison; a classic rock-and-roller gets a comeback, with a new song that sounds like a lost golden oldie.
10. "Hey Jack Kerouac" I like the way the opening chords of this 10,000 Maniacs song come crashing in after "You Got It" ends.
11. "Sway" I don't love Kacey Musgraves' last two albums as much as I loved Golden Hour, but she's still great.
12. "Bad Liar" Selena Gomez
13. "Eleanor Rigby" I found it hard to segue in and out of this Beatles song, but this spot works okay.
14. "Bad" (live) U2, from the Wide Awake In America EP.
15. "Flip It" Bleached
16. "Whole Love" Wilco
17. "Turn You Inside-Out" R.E.M. The production on Green [1989] album tries for muscular, but it only succeeds compared to some of their earlier work; for me, it's more brittle than strong. A good candidate for a modern remix a la the Replacements Tim or their own Monster.
18. "The Laws Have Changed" The New Pronographers
19. "Kings and Queens" Aerosmith
20. "One Step Away" and a very different Boston-based band, Hush Club
21. "You Send Me" Sam Cooke
