4. Lucky - Radiohead
5. The Caretaker - Johnny Cash

8. Dice behind your shades - Paul Westerberg
9. Lost Love - Golden Smog
10. Jewel in a cobweb - Jules Shear
My favorite song this week is Wild Horses from U2's Achtung Baby. I love those fuzzy guitars, those sha la la's and that sweeping progression. I think it's U2's first love song too!
Dean, as far as I can tell, this is the 40,000th entry on UThink. Amazing, I know! I wrote about it on the UThink home page. Plus, another blogger from Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast (http://blog.lib.umn.edu/perry032/impossible/40000_and_still_goi.html) is trying to put together a prize for you for being the 40,000th entry. Cool, heh?
"Wild Horses" is a cool song, but there is another version of the song I like better than the album version. It is called the "Temple Bar" mix and while it sounds almost the same there are some differences that make it cool. Let me know if you want a copy!
That's cool about the 40,000th entry. I've heard that other version once or twice and wondered where it came from. I'd love to get a copy to compare.
