The Rolling Stones

I got sick of them after hearing the same 10 songs on the radio and television time and time again, but Phish convinced me to give some of their original albums a listen after they covered Exile on Main St. during last year's Halloween concert.

I had never heard this song up until about two weeks ago. I've probably heard a snippet of the miserable Stone's song Jumpin' Jack Flash playing on a classic rock station well over 500 times, though...probably thousands of times.

That fact is a humbling reminder that tv and radio are completely fucking worthless at presenting us with worthwhile entertainment (mostly--they did give us Britney Spears and Deadwood).

I blame Rupert Murdoch and George Bush Junior. Anyway, listen to the last song from side 1 of Beggar's Banquet, Jigsaw Puzzle below.

Interesting side note - The Rolling Stone's album Beggar's Banquet (featuring radio staples Sympathy for the Devil and Street Fighting Man) was originally mastered incorrectly. For over 30 years people were listening to a slightly slower version of the album than what was actually recorded. The remastered version of the 40 minute album is a full 30 seconds faster than the original release.
