SONG OF THE DAY [#310]

'august & september' | elbow

had enough elbow? tough.

here's elbow version of the the's classic, 'august & september.' as i was listening to this song yesterday, it got me thinking about the the. i hadn't listened to them for quite some time, so i broke out 'soul mining' and 'mind bomb' this morning and gave 'em a listen. one may or may not agree with matt johnson's politics, but dood can write a whale of a tune. just listen to the sample below and you'd be hard pressed to disagree. and yes, that is johnny marr in the 'the beat[en] generation' video. and yes, 'this is the day,' is the m&m's theme song. and yes, it was also featured at the very end of the super awesome 'empire records.' and yes, 'uncertain smile' is one of my favorite songs ever.

elbow: august & september
the the: august & september
the the: the beat[en] generation | video
the the: this is the day | video
