Otis Redding - That's How Strong My Love Is





Here's a live version by Doug Martsch. I never saw Otis Redding in concert, but I've seen Doug twice (once alone, once with Built to Spill) and really enjoyed it both times.
"So you know what Doug Martsch tells the big boys? That he likes Idaho--and his family--too much to hit the rock and roll road. Here's hoping he can turn a modest profit while sticking to the essence of this decision, one of the sanest biases in all indiedom. And here's hoping he keeps writing those songs and playing that guitar."

Wilco - Someone Else's Song


If you asked me "Which is the best band in the world right now?" I'd probably say "Radiohead or Wilco." I don't listen to Radiohead that much though.
