Thrills!

No great shakes here, just the small thrill that comes from comparing a solo performance to that of the full ensemble. Put on your thrill pants, and let us ride.
Wilco - I am Trying to Break Your Heart Buy it!
Jeff Tweedy - I am Trying to Break Your Heart
Red House Painters - Mistress Buy it!
Mark Kozelek - Mistress (live on KCRW)
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - Born To Run (Hammersmith Odeon, 1975) Buy it!
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run (live) Buy it!
American Music Club - What Godzilla Said to God When His Name Wasn't Found in the Book of Life Buy it!
Mark Eitzel - Nothing Can Bring Me Down (live) Buy it!
The title change! An added thrill!

Excellent post! It's great to listen to these songs back to back. And it's even better to see AMC and Mark Eitzel highlighted--they deserve way more attention than they normally get. Although I do love the longer title for the full AMC song, I will always prefer the stripped down solo acoustic version. In fact, that whole album (Mark Eitzel Sings Songs of Love) is one of my all-time favorites!
Thanks again!

I know, that record is such an unbelievable cryfest for me. I mean, if I cried it would be.
