It's the most wonderful time of the week...<\/p>\n
Crank up your music shuffler, let it play five songs, then describe them to us! Enlighten us!<\/p>\n
\nTake another look around
\nYou're not going anywhere
\nYou realize you're getting old
\nAnd no-one seems to care\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nYippee!<\/p>\n
- Andrew Bird - Trimmed + Burning<\/a>. Just Andrew and his violin, live. It's a ragged, dark thing, from his first \"Fingerlings\" disc (a series of releases that he uses for outtakes, experiments and such). His first \"Band Of Fire\" records were full of this old-timey fiddlin, but he doesn't do much of this stuff on record any more.\n
- Rogue Wave - Right With You<\/a>. It's a poppy little song. Not exceptionally catchy, though it tries to be, with its big, bright chorus and simple sing-song verses. It does not grab me.\n
- Paul Simon - Saint Judy's Comet. This is a very mellow, very mid-70's tune. It's a lullaby to a little boy, and Simon's voice is barely louder than a whisper. And while the song is actually a little on the quick side, the playing is subdued and muted, so it all seems to breeze on past. I can't find a link to it... apparently Simon's one of those artists who hates YouTube.\n
- Marah - Barstool Boys<\/a>. The Marah boys love them some down-on-your-luck ballads, and this is one of their better ones. Fairly short, right to the point. Most of the versions on YouTube are live with just guitar and piano, but this one is the studio version with banjo (? maybe a dobro), drums, bells, three or more guitars, backup vocals, etc.. Luckily, it manages to avoid sounding crowded. Nicely done!\n<\/ol>\n
