Wednesday Wadio: The Weturn!

You asked for it back, and you’ve got it, babies. But before I strike out on new musical homages to my favorite songs, past and present, I’m going to give all the writing I’ve already done a new coat of paint – in the form of video additions. Below you’ll find liks to some of my favorite Wednesday Wadios from the past year, now with handy dandy video additions. Hear them, watch them, love them for all times. And with no further adue…

– The Doves – There Goes the Fear: The video for this song kind of sucks, so I’m including an awesome performance from Glastonbury 2004 instead.

– The Pogues – The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn: No proper video exists. This is a performance from Irish TV in the mid-eighties after which the host unsuccessfully tries to interview the eternally-shitfaced Shane MacGowan.

– Lush – Deluxe: Ripped from someone’s old 120 Minutes tape, the fire at the beginning brought back a wave of memories. Not for epileptics.

– Ed O.G. & the Bulldogz – I Got to Have it: Unequivocable proof that YT is the best website in human history. What a great find. An edited version I’ve never heard with some grimy Boston scenery and probably the worst choreography in… human history.

– The Smiths – Bigmouth Strikes Again: I think this is from Top of the Pops, so it would have been 1986. An excellent live perfomance from a seminal band.

– The Tragically Hip – Nautical Disaster: Live in Detroit at The Fox Theatre on September 18, 2004. This is a clip from the fan produced DVD released through hipfans.com. Gord Downie at his insane best.

So waise a glass to a new ewa of Wednesday Wadio!
