This week's Ordered List of randomly-chosen songs from the iPod is:
- Cassandra Wilson - Until
- Jurassic 5 - I Am Somebody
- Television - Untitled (A Mi Amore)
- Pink Floyd - Speak To Me / Breathe
- White Stripes - My Doorbell
- David Bowie - Moonage Daydream
- Cream - White Room
- Franz Ferdinand - This Fire. Sickka this song.
- Calexico - Nom De Plume
- Hound Dog Taylor - Phillip's Theme
Well, it's a different mix. So that's good.
Yeh, Franz F. have made a whole career out of that one Zeppelin four-to-the-floor groove.
The much-hailed second FF album quietly shuffled off into the bargain bin too. They have been very quiet of late – not a murmur from the boys for a long time now. Great debut though I thought, just completely over-exposed – the Arctic Monkeys are facing the same problem right now – a second album is imminent but no-one seems to give a fuck, despite them having the fastest selling debut ever. I actually overheard someone at last years Reading festival quip “The Arctics are sooo 2005”.
Cleek – not a bad list – 4, 5 and 6 especially. :)
yeah, that new FF record is pretty uninspiring. i feel the same way about the Futureheads’ latest, too.
I think th’ Arctic Monkeys just happen to have more friends than any band in history.
I think this is just how kids consume music now. “I already HAVE an Arctic Monkeys CD.” I think it’s been that way since th’ late ’90s. And I think bands sort of expect it now. I think a smart band would just change their name with each subsequent release.
