Day 40 - Tobacco Road...

...Visiting the music of North Carolina in honor of the UNC - Duke tilt at Cameron Indoor Stadium, but let's get this out of the way first since the number matches up...
U2 - "40"


Nashville Teens - "Tobacco Road"

I know, a British group named after a city in Tennessee, but it's the earliest version.

Southern Culture on the Skids - "Tobacco Road"

An actual NC band doing the song. Band from Chapel Hills, recorded in Charlotte. This theme is rather contingent on the game not becoming a blowout and me switching to dvr'd sitcoms.

Corrosion of Conformity - "College Town"

From Raleigh. Early period, though I'm not sure if this is the original.

Corrosion of Conformity - "Technocracy"

Mid period.

Corrosion of Conformity - "Albatross"

Latter period.

Geezer Lake - "Freshly Spilt Innards Ripped from the Gut of a Critic"

Underrated band from Greensboro. Almost proto-math rock.

Whiskeytown - "Jacksonville Skyline"

Jacksonville and Raleigh. Game is at 14 points now, but not the way I expected. Go Tar Heels!

Archers of Loaf - "Web in Front"

Asheville and Chapel Hill. Just played a surprise reunion show last month.

Superchunk - "Skip Steps 1 & 3"

Chapel Hill.

Running count 286 songs for 2011. And Duke cut the lead to 6 already.
