“Sandy > Kane” 6.8.12, Worcester, MA

An appropriate kickoff to a playlist about Hurricane Sandy.

“A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing” 6.19.04 II, SPAC

Perhaps my single favorite jam from the post-hiatus era.

***

“Drowned” 9.14.00 II, Darien Center, NY

The most harrowing and psychedelic version of all time; it seemed quite appropriate.

***

“Split Open and Melt” 11.6.98 I, Madison, WI

This groove-based “Split” is in honor of this ridiculous You Tube video of the Con-Edison explosion last night in NYC.

***

“Wolfman’s Brother” 11.13.98 I, Cleveland, OH

A cross between a hurricane and a ship that’s run aground…

***

“Free” 11.22.95 II, Landover, MD

Splashing in the sea…

***

“Cities -> Good Times, Bad Times” 8.10.97 II, Noblesville, IN

This pairing of songs seemed incredibly fitting considering the scene in the New York metro area.

“Slave to the Traffic Light” 12.5.97 II, Cleveland, OH

…or lack thereof.
