Two Downloads

While searching the vastness of the internet, I have come across a few downloads worth mentioning. The first is the newest from the Flaming Lips, "I Was Zapped by the Lucky Super Rainbow". The song is from the soundtrack to the the movie "Good Luck Chuck". Since the soundtrack included the likes of Olivia-Newton John and Pepper, I decided to avoid the soundtrack at all costs, and just downloaded "...Rainbow" as a single off iTunes for $.99. The song is catchy and upbeat, similar to their single "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" off At War With the Mystics. The lyrics are about a guy talking about how lucky he is to of found the girl he is with. I would assume that this song goes along somewhat with the movie "Good Luck Chuck", however, I can't be sure, since the only thing I know about the movie is it stars Jessica Alba.

For the second download of the week required a bit of digging, and I was able to find the track as a bootleg. On September 19th, Bob Dylan performed at the Ryan Auditorium, in Nashville, Tennesee. The track is a song on which Dylan brought up on stage Jack White of the White Stripes to guest on the song "Meet Me in the Morning" off Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, a personal favorite album of mine. According to a Dylan site that has kept track of Dylan's setlists over the years, this is the first time that "Meet Me in the Morning" has ever been performed. White does more than simply guest on this song by taking the lead vocals, and even taking some of the lead guitar licks. White gives and upbeat kick to the vocals, with the backing band rocking out behind him.
