The Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane (Version 2)

-------------Though the Velvet Underground aren't necessarily classified as a punk rock band, any Fugazi, Ramones, or Buzzcock fan would find their subcultural status and unconventional lyrics a foreground for ushering in the future of America's punk scene. "Sweet Jane" is less F*ck the System and more I-Want-You-Around, with a melodic pop-hooked chorus, "Heavenly wine and roses" lyrics, and floating guitar chords reveal a squishy, heart-melting center to the Velvet Underground's set list. Get "Sweet Jane (Version 2) from The Velvet Underground: Live at Max's Kansas City.

Alexi Murdoch - All My Days

--------------If you're going to the movies to see Away We Go just to gaze at a rugged, hippie insurance provider played by John Krasinski, you'll be treated to the movie's wandering soundtrack of Alexi Murdoch, Bob Dylan, The Stranglers, and The Velvet Underground. Any fans of the Garden State soundtrack will go bananas over Murdoch's softspoken, feel-good ballads, including the love-you-forever vow, "All My Days." The guitar and strings lullaby has lyrics that say thank you and make a promise with an effortless and peaceful candor. Get "All My Days" from the Away We Go original movie soundtrack.
