Jeff Buckley Ain’t Over Till ‘It’s Over’
The latest MP3s to hit the blogs.
1. Jeff Buckley, “I Know It’s Over” (Smiths cover)
Even ten years after his death, Buckley’s vault still has a few gems in it — like this chill-inducing track from his new So Real rarities compilation. [Faronheit]
2. Elliott Smith, “High Times”
No posthumous slouch himself, Smith turns in this previously unreleased song (from the recently leaked New Moon) about Lil Wayne’s favorite magazine. [Largehearted Boy]
3. Built to Spill, “I Try” (Macy Gray cover)
Doug Martsch and Co. cover Gray’s 1999 hit single. No, we don’t know why. [Copy, Right?]
4. The Polyphonic Spree, “The Fragile Army”
The title track from their upcoming third album proves Tim DeLaughter and his minions are still way too chipper for a band whose 24 members share one tour-bus bathroom. [The Music Slut]
5. Ozzy Osbourne, “I Don’t Wanna Stop”
On his new single, Ozzy pledges to keep rocking even though he can’t remember who he is or how he got here. [Hard Rock Hideout] — Lane Brown
