EVEN MORE ALTERNATIVE DEEPCUTS, VOL 2

June 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Well, I survived terrible Tuesday yesterday, a day that unfortunately, I spend on the phone at work. A more miserable experience I can’t imagine. Well, yeah I could. I could still be working in that little factory in Ohio I worked in back in the mid-80’s. THAT would be worse.

So, anyway, on to the deep cuts. One of the reasons I really love deep cuts (defined as singles from an album that were never really meant to be released as singles), is that you really get a true feel for the artist. Usually, their not songs that are created only to be released as singles. Some of the best tunes I’ve found are tunes that were never release, and were buried on the “B” side of the world. Enjoy!




  1. The Cardigans - Explode
  2. Suede - Saturday Night
  3. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin - Happy
  4. Pulp - Can I Have My Balls Back, Please?
  5. The Wannadies - Friends
  6. Placebo - Song To Say Goodbye
  7. Pixies - I Bleed
  8. Longpigs - She Said
  9. Elastica - Blue
  10. The Divine Comedy - Life On Mars

    *Pulp* - Jarvis Cocker is simply the best - his subtle (no, make that in-your-face) humor is unsurpassed. Thanks for the grins on this dreary morning.

    Also, you are making me a believer of covers…the “Life on Mars” cover by Divine Comedy is every bit as good as the Bowie original - and this is coming from a (very) longtime Bowie fan.

    Have a wonderful day. :-)

    @MissParker0106:

    I just discovered the Life on Mars cover myself, and when I heard it, I knew I had to find a way to work it to a post. The line “Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow” is just great stuff. Like you, I love Bowie…he’s one of the great song writers of all time.
