Ho Ho Ho, what will the iPod choose this week?
- Flaming Lips - One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning. Getting into their lo-fi Pink Floyd vibe.
- Robyn Hitchcock - Certainly Clickot
- Jimi Hendrix - Hear My Train a-Comin' (live). Wow.
- Blonde Redhead - Kazuality. Ah.... I missed liking Blonde Redhead.
- Van Halen - Loss Of Control. Eddie's just inhumanly fast all the way through this - even the rhythm parts are unbelievable. The song's not so hot, though.
- Van Morrison - Glad Things
- The Cure - Close To Me. The happiest song in the world.
- Radiohead - The Tourist
- Joni Mitchell - Just Like This Train. Too 70's.
- The Beatles - Mr. Moonlight. Too 50's.
Good enough. Onward!
On second thought... I'm getting sick of seeing the same handful of bands every week on these Monday AM lists. Time to thin out some of the overrepresented bands.

Robyn Hitchcock, 28 (no song twice)
The Cure, 21
Pavement, 17
Sonic Youth, 17
Cowboy Junkies, 16
Radiohead, 15
Beatles, The Beatles 12
David Bowie, 12 (half of Ziggy)
Big Star, 11
REM, 11
Led Zeppelin, 11
Spoon, 11
Elliott Smith, 10
The Kinks, 10
Blonde Redhead, 9
Gillian Welch, 9
Miles Davis, 9
Alison Krauss, 8
Jimi Hendrix, 8
Nirvana, 8
Nick Drake, 8 (two songs twice)
Stereolab, 8
Unrest 8
Belly, 7
Cassandra Wilson, 7
Liz Phair, 7
Replacements, The 7
Rolling Stones, The 7
Smaller Animals, 5
Grandaddy, 5 (only 3 songs)
The Wreckers 3 (one song twice)
Moby Grape, 3 (Omaha 3x, only song appearing 3x)
awesome! :)
and in fact i yanked out tons of Robyn Hitchcock and The Cure last night. i hurt my soul doing it, but variety demands it. next Monday will be the awesomest evah! i already knocked Sonic Youth and the Cowboy Junkies down, a few months ago. they don’t show up much anymore (IIRC). i actually added more Pavement (got the Wowee Zowee reissue).
78 Mondays. wow. has it been that long?
are you in NY these days, or down South?
I follow these Monday postings, its a cool project. I’ll email you the Excel spreadsheet I used to compile the data, and mail you some music for shuffling purposes.
Regrettably, I’m back in New York. That Wowee Zowee thing is priceless.
Looking forward to Monday. Of the thirty + bands listed above, I say 6 appear next week. That’s my bet.
