Monday morning means making my the list of the first 10 from the iPod...
- Death Cab For Cutie - I Was a Kaleidescope. Me likee Death Cab.
- Robyn Hitchcock - Glass Hotel. This one is probably my all-time favorite R.H. song, from my all-time favorite R.H. album, Eye. Can it get any better ?
- Van Morrison - Come Running. On the cover of Moondance, Van looks just like my uncle Billy.
- Radiohead - Filter Happier.
- 3Ds - Man On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown. This band does a nice simulation of mid-80's noise-pop. Reminds me of the Swilrlies or any number of Sub Pop bands.
- Cream - Sunshine of Your Love. I can't hear this song without thinking of the sheet music - so many hours spent trying to learn it.
- Cassandra Wilson / Jacky Terrasson - If Ever I Would Leave You. Very nice. Ahh...
- Smaller Animals - Eastwood. I listen to myself.
- British Sea Power - Carrion. Meh.
- Flaming Lips - Approaching Pavnois Mons By Balloon (Utopia Planitia). Nice little instrumental. Could be the closing theme to a utopian sci-fi movie.
But, there was no Yo La Tengo. WTF ?
It took you ‘hours’ and ‘sheet music’ to figure out Sunshine of Your Love? Are you kidding? Power chords all the way! Unless yr talking about the solo…
i didn’t even know what a ‘power chord’ was, back when i was trying to learn that one. it was probably my first time away from the first four frets.
