It's ... Monday.<\/p>\n

Among other things, that means it's time to start your music shuffling device, list the first five songs that come up, then describe them to us, so that we may learn.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks<\/a>. Not sure I've heard this one before. It's got a strong disco vibe, especially in the chorus, that reminds me of Franz Ferdinand's rock\/disco hybrid. That really dates the song, IMO.\n
  2. Jimi Hendrix - Mannish Boy<\/a>. From the awesome \"Jimi Hendrix: Blues\" collection. This isn't the best tune on the disc (that would be Red House<\/i> or Hear My Train a-Comin'<\/i>), but it's a neat version of the Muddy Waters classic; it's not straight blues, but sounds more like Band Of Gypsies-era funky Jimi. Heavy effects on the guitars, not a lot of pyrotechnics, etc..\n
  3. Beck - Replica<\/a>. The slightly-chilled, paranoid atmosphere here reminds me of Radiohead. Beck's mumbly vocals add to the effect.\n
  4. Spoon - Don't You Evah<\/a>. So so so catchy. One of Spoon's best. And that video is awesome.\n
  5. Mudhoney - Need<\/a>. Seattle's finest. Well, no, that would be Jimi. But maybe for a few months in 1989, these guys held the title. Love the guitar sound. Note how similar the opening to this is to a certain very popular Nirvana song. Then note that this song came out years before Nirvana's did. Just sayin.\n<\/ol>\n
