Random Thoughts fom a Ryan Adams Marathon: Day 3

* Heartbreaker is the stuff of legend.

* The Q Division Demos are quite neat. Gimme Sunshine is such a neat little number and this also features a totally slow version of Rescue Blues. Plus a song called IdiotsRule the World.

* The Pinkheart Sessions part 1 is much better than I remember. Plus it contains his version of Around the World, where Ryan Adams just makes fun of the Red Hot Chili Peppers for 2 minutes. Hilarious stuff.

* The Suicide Handbook is fantastic. I think it would have been interesting had this been released instead of Gold. The songs that ended up on that album just sound so incredibly different.

* Gold gets a bad rap from Ryan Adams fans, but it remains a genuine classic to me. How can anyone diss an album that starts with New York New York? And yes, I'm well aware of the issues people have. Strangely, they are the exact reasons I love this album and always will.

* Fool's Gold is such a mixed bag. One day I will compile Gold to match the full double album and seperate these tracks that way.

355 songs down.
