MATH ROCK

A quick Monday shuffle.

1. What Is Happening, Cornershop
Any song that repeats a sample of someone saying “turkey gravy” can't be all bad. Just mostly bad.

2. Come Live With Me, Heaven 17
“I was 37, you were 17/You were half my age...” OK, first of all, this sounds biographical, so: Yuk. And douchebag, 17 isn't half of 37...

3. Beginning to See the Light, The Velvet Underground
More math: This is 50% a goof, and 45% the sound of your life being saved. The remaining 5% is inactive ingredients...

4. Psychotic Reaction, Count Five
Frug. Just, frug. That is all.

5. You Got The Silver, The Rolling Stones
Not the Let It Bleed version, with Keith on vocals, but an early Mick take. The backing instrumentation is pretty much the same, but I have to say Keith brought this a certain vulnerability that Mick could not really muster...
