Jeff Buckley - In Memoriam

I learned last night from the Radcliffe/Maconie show that it's 10 years since Jeff Buckley died. I first heard 'Grace' at a friend's house at a party at about 3 in the morning back in '96 or so, and was instantly a fan. Since then, I've got just about everything that's been recorded, and also lots of stuff by Tim Buckley, his father.

As a tribute, lots of JB today:

Mojo Pin - from Grace (Legacy Edition),
Last Goodbye - G(LE),
Witches' Rave - from Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk,
Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin - from Live at Sin-E,
Corpus Chrisit Carol (For Roy) - from Grace,
Kanga-Roo - G(LE), with that tremendous, incessant gtr riff,
I Want Somebody Badly (With Shudder to Think) - G(LE),
New Year's Prayer - from Sketches...,
Dream Brother (Alternate Take) - G(LE),
Grace - from Grace,
Yard of Blonde Girls - Sketches,
Parchman Farm Blues - G(LE), where he really does sound like his father,
Dream Brother - G(LE),
Dream Brotehr (Nag Champa Mix) - G(LE). I don't think it's possible to hear this too many times,
Eternal Life - G(LE),
Everybody Here Wants You - Sketches... Just beautiful,
The Sky Is A Landfill - Sketches.

T - 3; M - 5; D - 3
