Welcome to another “new bands week” edition of the Laptop Sessions! Today’s song comes from a band that’s anything but “new”, but since I haven’t played a song from them before, I figured this would be the week to bust one out!
This song, as I’ve mentioned before, ranks as my second favorite song of all time, right behind “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better” by the Byrds. But, if you listen to this song and the Byrds song, you’ll hear that they’re very similar. They both have pretty much the same chords, and “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better” wins because of its great guitar solo and its harmonies.
“You Just May Be The One” is the song I play for people when I get the tired old “the Monkees didn’t write their own songs or play their own instruments” line. Well, on this song, they did both. In fact, on the entire “Headquarters” album, they did both. These guys were very talented, especially Michael Nesmith, the writer and lead singer of this tune.
I hope you’ll agree that this is one of the best, and we welcome the Monkees to the Laptop Sessions!

And now for a new band (finally) to add to our expanding library.
This song comes from Radiohead’s 1995 album “The Bends”, which is a personal favorite in my collection. There are many songs from this album I can play, and you may see in future laptop sessions.
Thom Yorke has a very unique voice. It is amazing how different my voice sounds when going up a register.
Anyways, enjoy this song. If you have requests from Radiohead or any other band that has been featured by FMP’s laptop sessions, please send me a message. I’d love to fill the request!
(Note: On this particular video, Youtube gave me three very terrible options for Screenshots. I apologize for the ugly mug of me before you play this video, but in the other two I look like I just sniffed three dead skunks simultaneously).

I think this is an under-appreciated song from the post-”One Headlight” album Breach. This was a lot of fun to finally learn and play. From the moment Jim mentioned the idea for these laptop sessions, I thought this would be a great one to pull out. And I feel that I’ve waited long enough after Jeff’s last Wallflowers post to finally put this one up here.
Stay tuned for more!

The Gaslight Anthem’s “American Slang” (2010) – Yes, No, or Maybe So
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
The Gaslight Anthem’s American Slang (2010) – MAYBE
The Gaslight Anthem's "American Slang" (2010)
(June 15, 2010)
Review:
If you ever wondered what Bruce Springsteen would have sounded like had he been born into the alternative/punk rock legacy, well… the time has come; American Slang suffers a bit from homogeneity of sound, but each of the ten tracks here unfolds as a vivid landscape that transports the listener to a new and yet not entirely unfamiliar locale.
Top Two Tracks:
“Orphans” & “The Diamond Church Street Choir”
