It sounds like Tom Sawyer played by people who can't do Neil Peart's drum parts.<BR/><BR/>There also was an unofficial tribute album a few years back -- not sure if that counts, or if you want to hear Sebastian Bach sing "The Analog Kid."Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484284471046027179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1155150205641358482006-08-09T12:03:00.001-07:002006-08-09T12:03:00.001-07:00"March" wasn't on a Sub Pop comp, it was bundled i..."March" wasn't on a Sub Pop comp, it was bundled in a sampler that a now-defunct magazine called Comes With a Smile released.<BR/><BR/>"March" is about the month. The speaker begs his lost love to "come back in March" in the chorus. Not clear what he's doing till then, though. Contains the lines "we are at odds with what we attract" and "tell me a joke, so I can see through you." I can send you the track if you'd like.<BR/><BR/>And yes, "4th of July" kicks ass in ways the Decemberists' song just never will. Should have thought of that. Still working on August, though I'm tempted to suggest the Counting Crows album "____ and Everything After."TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088461995698326658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1155150195027120632006-08-09T12:03:00.000-07:002006-08-09T12:03:00.000-07:00"4th of July" by X - from the ALbum "See How We Ar..."4th of July" by X - from the ALbum "See How We Are"<BR/><BR/>"August" by Katastrophe - from the album "Let's Fuck, Then Talk About My Problems"Grendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664099783685963708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1155146531422212182006-08-09T11:02:00.000-07:002006-08-09T11:02:00.000-07:00Man, I should have remembered that Soundgarden son...Man, I should have remembered that Soundgarden song -- that's unforgivable to the rock gods -- and is "March" a cheat, or does it actually involve March?El Gordo de Amorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910902204038306933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1155146450378452512006-08-09T11:00:00.000-07:002006-08-09T11:00:00.000-07:00I think the Goo Goo Dolls also had a January song?...I think the Goo Goo Dolls also had a January song?
