If there is one thing I learned this year, and perhaps that shows that I can be pretty ignorant sometimes, is that on EP's and Singles there sometimes are fantastic songs that are never put on a full-length album.I never picked up singles and EP's, but now I feel I have to catch up on that and pay more attention to it, because apparently I'm missing out.For instance, last May I saw Editors in concert, playing "You Are Fading", a song on the single of I believe "Bullets".Franz Ferdinand has oodles of them as well. "Brown Unions" (derived from Booker T's Green Unions), Words So Leisured, Wine in the Afternoon, and Fabulously Lazy just a few highlights.What to think of Pulp, whose "Razzmatazz" is really a terrific song, and they have so many songs that are not put on full-length albums.And last year I bought a Killer's CD, and I got the When You Were Young single free with it. (yay!) Good thing, otherwise I would have missed out on "All The Pretty Faces", easily better than half of "Sam's Town".I wanted to upload that song on MP3, but that feature is not working (it stops around the 90% every time I try), so I found a Youtube clip of The Killers performing it at Glastonbury in 2005. Underneath it another youtube vid, this is Pulp playing "Razzmatazz" in 1994.If anyone else has gems that never appeaered on full-lenght albums, be sure to post them here so I can catch up more specific and focussed. ;)

Muse have some yummy ones, too. (If this shows up twice, delete one. MOG is not being friendly to me right now.)
