Free DL: experimental pop thingy [Egg&I]

I admire things that are a bit raw or have a sense of unrest from being unfinished. The post-Replacements output from Paul Westerberg (which I’m a fan of) is chock-full of one-take fleeting moments captured in sound.

This song is about as gritty as it gets this month. Here’s a live version. I have SXSW to thank for this song… Continue reading Mixtape: Come What May
