Song of the Day - January 2, 2006

Welcome to the new year. As many of you know, I am a fan of psychedelic music both neo and retro. I love the Seattle band The Purrs. They are often compared to Echo and the Bunnyman and The Verve. However, when I first heard the track "Because I Want To," I immediately thought of the Rolling Stones circa the early 60's. It starts out softly with an acoustic guitar, then reverb laden vocals and electric guitar. Eventually the drums kick in and the intensity level rises, but the best part is the chorus of "dododododododo." Click here to listen.
