After missing a week of iPoddery, thanks to sunny Miami, Start Your iPods returns!<\/p>\n

Shuffle-up five songs, describe them to us so that we may learn of their pros and of their cons.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wye Oak - The Alter<\/a>. From their latest record. This is one of the songs that doesn't sound much like the Wye Oak I love. The up-front keyboards are the biggest change, the absence of her howling guitar is another, and the general mellow vibe sets it apart ever further. But it's still a nice tune, and it's growing on me.\n
  2. Portishead - Silence<\/a>. A long loud kindof monotonous two minutes followed by a tiny bit of singing, then back to the monotonous stuff again. Doesn't do a lot for me.\n
  3. Pavement - Perfume V<\/a>. Hard for me to believe that this album is almost twenty years old - and I still don't know the names of all the songs on it. This has always been the \"She's got the radio active and it makes me feel OK\" song, to me. Love it, though it feels a little lost, out of context.\n
  4. The Antlers - Atrophy<\/a>. Someone's whispering over a very quiet piano. At two minutes, the piano gets a tiny bit louder. Some faint singing is just barely audible... four minutes to go.... At the four minute mark, it dissolves into something that sounds like a chorus of rattlesnakes. 5:20, now repeating electronic chiming sounds. 1:00 to go.... more singing, just barely audible, completely unintelligible. I give up.\n
  5. Vetiver - Through The Front Door<\/a>. Kinda retro-folk-rock. This is a fairly typical Vetiver song: mellow, spare, good for nodding along to. I play a lot of Vetiver in my car, but I don't think I could name a song or an album - it all just washes over me, pleasantly.\n<\/ol>\n
