Got to see Mudhoney a couple weeks ago in San Francisco, and they most
graciously played my request for their version of "Urban Guerilla" as
their final encore (especially nice since it was my birthday).  Great,
seriously ass-kicking, version!  Their set opener (don't remember the
title, but it's the first song on their new album) is also a great piece
of psychedelic drone/jam, with effective spacey HW/Floyd-style delay
action from all the instruments.  I highly recommend seeing them,
especially as it's clear that Steve Turner and Mark Arm just might belong
on that list of top 100 guitarists ... they've been playing together for
around 20 years now (the first Green River EP was 1985, I think), and it
shows.

Why isn't their version of "Urban Guerilla" on the new tribute album?!?!?
is what I want to know ...
