Dinosaur Jr. - "Show Me The Way" (mp3)
I couldn't justify going to Dinosaur's reunion show at the Ottobar the other night when I'm dead broke and already saw their 9:30 Club show last year, so I'll console myself by posting the only song that was on SST's original CD release of You're Living All Over Me but not on last year's Merge reissue. It wasn't on the original vinyl album is their justification, but instead of preserving the album's original incarnation by ending the CD with the suck-ass "Poledo," they merely tacked on a different cover, "Just Like Heaven," which I didn't really understand. Why the Cure but not Frampton? Why not both? Still, the SST disc is pretty much the worst sounding CD of good music I've ever heard (I guess that comes down to bad mastering or the quality of digital technology available to small labels in the late 80s), so the Merge reissue was absolutely necessary and appreciated.

It's something I've grown to love!

I agree with Mat - I spent a good year or two with an 8-track trying to replicate the dirty, muddy sound of YLAOM. I guess my tape wasn't degenerated enough!
