Start Your iPods

What the fuck will we start with this week?

  1. DJ Krush - Bypath 2. A quick little thing from my favorite Japanese trip-hop turntablist.
  2. Stereolab - Ping Pong. Get down with the feel-good joys of Marxist socio-political theory!
  3. Talking Heads - Psycho Killer. Live.
  4. Velvet Underground - Femme Fatale. I'll always prefer REM's version.
  5. Elliot Smith - Independence Day. Future butterfly / Gonna spend the day / higher than high / You'll be beautiful confusion.
  6. Green Day - Burnout. I'm not growing up / I'm just burning out.
  7. Breeders - Only In 3's. What's better than Kim Deal ? Kim Deal and her twin sister.
  8. Sea And Cake - Station In The Valley. Ahhh... soothing, blissful, early S&C.
  9. Led Zeppelin - Ozone Baby. Not bad, for Coda.
  10. The Anomoanon - Tongue and Heart. I simply don't like the word "tongue".

Up until those last two, it was looking to be a great 10.

Let's Keep Some Time Together

If you ever have the chance, listen to the Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend The Night Together" through headphones. But only listen to the left side, because that's where Bill Wyman's crazy, sloppy, buzzy, flatulent bass is.

Start Your iPods

Will the iPod surprise me, or will it play the same old crap...?

  1. The Beatles - I'm a Loser
  2. The Boys of the Lough - Sally Monroe. Irish folk music! And me without a Guinness.
  3. Alison Krauss & U.S. - Another Day Another Dollar
  4. Harald Johnson, et al - Colours of Mercy. Scandanavian jazz, baby.
  5. Broken Social Scene - It's All Gonna Break
  6. Green Day - Basket Case. "Sometimes I give myself the creeps." Love that line. "Creeps" is such a great word.
  7. My Bloody Valientine - Loomer
  8. Robert Johnson - Phonograph Blues
  9. Radiohead - The Tourist
  10. Elliot Smith - Alameda
  11. Bonus : Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945. Love this song.
      And here's where your mother sleeps
      And here is the room where your brothers were born
      Indentions in the sheets
      Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
      And it's so sad to see the world agree
      That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
      All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

Mostly surprising. El yay!
