Music Video of the Week
Been awhile.
This is one of my flat-out all-time favorite songs. Top Ten, probably. Also, one of the primary cornerstones of my banjo-cover set list. I happened to be singing it to myself all day today (I really belt this one out), and this is the best video I could find for it. It’s very good, but cuts off the intro (the opening 20 seconds or so). Which is sad. But still, hopefully you can get into it. One of the most beautifully haunting songs I know.
Michael Penn — Long Way Down (Look What the Cat Drug In)
And yes, for those that don’t know Michael Penn, he is indeed the third Penn brother, Sean and Chris being the other two.
Oh my god, I LOVE this song! I have the CD. It was on some music promo disc I got out of Details magazine or something like that, back around 1993 or 1994.
Those were the days. Grunge and “alternative” ruled – and it’ll never be that good again.

Dude, I have that exact same CD, which is where I first heard it too. I think you had gotten it free and made me get one free too. I had forgotten that I wasn’t the only one on earth to happen to have it.
That’s a weird CD. I kind of love it. Vanessa Paradis, Booya Tribe, Ministry, Michael Penn, MC Serch. Wtf.
