DEAD CELEBRITY iTUNES PLAYLISTS: William Henry Harrison
"All Shook Down" (The Replacements): A song about failure. As someone who was President of the United States for only a month and accomplished exactly nothing during that short time, I can relate. "They shook my hand as I drowned" is a terrific line.
"Your Mind and We Belong Together (Tracking Session Highlights)" (Love): Possibly the funniest song ever recorded. Features priceless studio chatter like “You’re the one who says you can really blow in the studio, no one to bug you. So blow, man.”
"Brand New Cadillac" (The Clash): Why isn’t Cadillac using this in their commercials?
"Sprout and Bean" (Joanna Newsom): Play that harp, Joanna. Oh yeah. Make me cry.
"Unseen Power of the Picket Fence" (Pavement): Is it necessary to re-issue Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain with 37 extra songs? No. Are most of them good? Of course not. But some of them are and this tribute to R.E.M. may be the best of the lot.
"El Scorcho" (Weezer): It’s like Celine Dion for dorks.
