BTW South Song of the Day
The Tourettes Ponies, "Picture Frame" from Picture Frame (Mt. Love)

Friday, April 20
They Might Be Giants, "Spider" from Apollo 18 (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: And now for a quick peak into the Song of the Day selection process. "Spider" was chosen for two reasons. a) It's fifty-second length serves as a nice counterpoint to "Rapper's Delight"'s fourteen minutes. So, why not go for one of the even shorter "Fingertips," also from Apollo 18? That brings us to the second consideration. b) We'd set aside Friday as the day to watch Spider-Man 2, thus completing our preparations for the release of Spider-Man 3. That topicality gave "Spider" the leg up over the "Fingertips." And that's how we (sometimes) select the Song of the Day here at BTW South.

And coming soon... "ANTÆUS" (which I prefer æsthetically to "ANTAEUS," just as I prefer "æsthetically" to "aesthetically")
