My 1990 entry in the year by year contest (challenge? whathaveyou?) with Chad and Luke.  The B-52's "Roam" done MTV Unplugged style, with little to no regard for the right sung notes.  Did I go for the falsetto before the chorus? I did go for the falsetto. Emily thinks the intro sounds exactly like "Losing My Religion."

Roam (1990)

The nineties unplugged challenge continues.  This is my 1991 pick, Q Lazzarus's amazing Goodbye Horses.  I know that song was technically apparently recorded in 1988 and featured in Jonathan Demme's film "Married to the Mob," but it wasn't until Demme resurrected Lazzarus for his great "Silence of the Lambs" in 1991 that it got an official release.  To this day the only Q Lazzarus thing ever put out.  I love the song. Here's my no amps version.  I even broke out the melodica.

Goodbye Horses (1991)

The cover song for every year of the nineties done unplugged challenge continues. This is me doing Sonic Youth's 100% on acoustic guitars.  Who says you can't play noise without feedback?
