What’s The Name of That Song: Screaming Trees - “Nearly Lost You”

16,334 songs on an iPod is a lot to keep up with. I’d love to tell you I have an encyclopedic knowledge of every minute of every song, but that’s nowhere near true. Still, I remember more about more of them than you might think.

Citizen Dick: Screaming Trees - Dust

I heard “All I Know,” the first single from Dust, for the first time on the road to Colorado. I still remember my excitement.
“A new Screaming Trees record!”
