Entertainment For Lively Minds
Bits
So we all have our little enthusiasms, our passions. I'm there with my AC/DC, Del Amitri and Pat Metheny fetishes. But every now and then I'll hear something and I'm grabbed, a tiny bit of something. Often something obscure, not the singles or whatever. Doesn't matter who it is (as you'll see below), but they'll do something that hits my aural G spot and I can't help myself.
It often seems like it might have been 2 (or more) different songs glued together, or just some tangential riff one of the participants threw in, a moment of inspiration. Whadoiknow. It can be literally moments, maybe 10 seconds or so (like Crowded House), sometimes longer. Some do it more often than others I've noticed (Toad, Odds).
So, I've spruiked mine in the comments - got any more...
- More from Harold Holt.

These first few are songs I absolutely love, and they get to a certain point and become even more beautiful.....
Crowded House - Fall At Your Feet/Woodface, 2 minutes in, one chord sequence and I'm gone, then back to the main theme
Toad The Wet Sprocket - I Will Not Take These Things For Granted/Fear, 3.50 in
Lloyd Cole - Mercy//Killing/"Lloyd Cole", 3.15 in (**not on youtube unfortunately**)
Odds - It Falls Apart/Bedbugs, 2/50 in
And some things that aren't really great songs, but they hit a moment and become something completely different. You just had to get there (which I did out of laziness on vinyl, but probably wouldn't on an iPod....there's probably a reason these are all 90's tracks)
Hall & Oates - Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid/Big Bam Boom, 3 minutes in
Dire Straits - Why Worry/Brothers In Arms, 4.25 in
Julian Lennon - Well I Don't Know/Valotte, 3.35 in
