Quick, what’s the first song you heard this morning? For me it was moe.’s Plane Crash from the Treymoe.deski Tsunami Benefit at Roseland Ballroom in February 2005. To this day that night stands out as one of the best nights of pure music I’ve ever experienced, almost every song better than the one that preceded it.

That Plane Crash is stupendous, fucking marvelous stuff. There’s a Medeski-led jam that lasts about five minutes and just builds and builds ’til you think your head’s gonna explode. But it doesn’t, and then you realize everyone on the subway is looking at you funny while you blast your iPod and bob your head uncontrollably. In honor of my commute this morning, here are seven tunes you should play now…

That should hold youse all off ’til Pullin’ ‘Tubes is ready for publication…
