Post the first 5 random tracks!

1) Too Drunk To F*ck - DKs
How rude!

2) The Times They Are a Changin' - St. Bob
Yeah, stick it to the Man!

3) Love You On A Tuesday - Neutral Milk Hotel
Absolutely no idea. NMH are great, though, I don't care who knows I think that.

4) Alabama - Neil Young
In which Neil basically calls the entire state of Alabama retarded.

5) Marquee Moon - Television
Fantastic, fantastic song. I'm contemplating sending it to IG.
"I remember...oo how the darkness doubled! I recall... lightning struck itselfff!"
 
No need, Syd ol' boy. I already own the Marquee Moon album. I have since I was 19 and first discovered it. It's brilliant. I love it.

1) song against sex - neutral milk hotel
Crazy! I put the thing on shuffle and that's what it pulled up. I think "On Avery Island" is my very favorite NMH album.

2) weapon of choice - fatboy slim
If you haven't seen the music video for this song with Christopher Walken, you are missing out, kids.

3) somewhere out there - the american tale soundtrack
This was my favorite song when I was little. I thought the lyrics to it were: "somewhere out there, beneath the 'pacial sky" instead of "beneath the pale moonlight." I still sing it that way sometimes.

4) anyone at all - carole king
Shut up. It's an awesome song. I love it.

5) turning japanese - the vapors
Mmmm. 80s pop.

Thought you might! Also knew you'd be on the same wavelength re NMH. Everyone else looks at me funny.

1) Summertime - Sam Cooke
I love Sam Cooke, if you hadn't guessed. Legend.

2) Country Boys & City Girls - The Fratellis
IG knows my opinion on The Fratellis, i.e. that they're a trifle too 'wahey lads oo!' kind of pub sing along nonsense, but this is alright.

3) Girl From The North Country - M. Ward, Conor Oberst (Bright who?) & Jim James
Got this off a compilation of Dylan covers. Good stuff.

4) You Need Love - Muddy Waters
Doing a Willie Dixon composition. Wait a minute...this sure sounds familiar!

5) Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday is the only artist I've ever encountered who can reduce me to tears, and I have no shame in telling you that.
 
1) I've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - Hall & Oates

2) Death of A Salesman - Low
One of the best, most sincere simple acoustic songs ever. I love it.

3) Celebrate the Failure - The Fauves
I heart the Fauves. So much. One of my favorite Aussie bands. And this song is in my top 3 favorites of theirs.

4) Don't Stand So Close To Me - Sting

5) Sphagnum Esplanade - The Shins
A song from their "Know Your Onion!" EP. One of my favorite Shins songs. Great lyrics: "how lovely a find / that's entered my mind / along this mossy trail / how coyly it hides / the truth about how it is / we can't ask how // crowds jump to their death / from the bridge as I drive by tonight / and they've missed out on it all / the whole gist there as they fall / you're not expected to know why it's such a short time / and there are stanzas never meant to rhyme // Far better I find / it is when we try to span / the weird divide / with no real rationale / we step out of bounds / and think and escape their lies // we've marched so long / and we've much farther than we've gone to go / we're making a new ship / christen it for the trip / with a toddler at the helm this time / and there are things we never will define"
 
1) Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos
Never was a cornflake girl...

2) Bukowski - Modest Mouse
Love Modest Mouse, love Bukowski, love the French existentialism-esque attack on Captain God with the big beard. "Who would wanna be such a control freak?"

3) Amish Paradise - Weird Al.
Ha! "We haven't even paid the phone bill in three hundred years!"

4) Bye Bye Blackbird - Rickie Lee James
Good oldie type jazz business.

5) Touched - VAST
What? Good stuff.
 
Captain God with the big beard... :rofl:

Eddie Izzard quotes ftw! :victory:

My favorite Modest Mouse song is still "Sleepwalking" from their album "Building Nothing Out Of Something". Again, it's for lyrics as much as the music: white trash boys listen to their music, blasting white noise in the convenience store parking lot. I hung around there, wasting my time, hoping you'd stop by...
 
For my money The Ocean Breaths Salty is MM's best. Love the opening line.
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in, in my head and in my heart, in my soul. One of the most...bizarrely uplifting songs I know about losing someone.

1) Gallows Pole (live) - Led Zeppelin
Love this! Now I laugh and pull so hard, see ya swingin' on the gallows pole!. I also have an odd affinity with the banjo, which this has in spades.

2) Cops on Our Tail - The Raveonettes
Yeah, up yours, rozzers!

3) Slow Hands - Interpol
First album was great, second album was good but not as good as the first, third was pants.

4) Immigrant Song (live) - Led Zep
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aa! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aa!

5) Only Love Can Break Your Heart - Saint Etienne
Good cover of Neil's original.
 
1) a baby for pree - neutral milk hotel
"As soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer"... one of my favorite similes ever.

2) the sound of settling - death cab for cutie

3) ain't no sunshine - bill withers
Another one of my favorite cheesy love-type songs.

4) return to sender - mojave 3
Have I mentioned how incredibly good Neil Halstead is? Love this song:
The sun don't love me and it's easy to cry. I send a letter, but I get no reply, just a note: return to sender. I talk on tiptoe every time that we meet; but I think breaking up is just a conceit, because love turns sour every hour. I stand all day with a rose in my teeth, to give it to the first girl that will say something sweet. She says, "Thank you for the flower, it will die within the hour...return to sender." I went looking for a priest. I said, "Say something, please. I don't wanna live my life all alone." He said: "God will take care of those that help themselves, but you look pretty screwed - send a letter." And the word on the street is that death is complete when you think that you know where you're going. And the headline in my mind says patience for the blind - if you find us, return to sender.

5) silver street - ben folds

Ba baaaaaa, ba baaaa!

1) Night Flight - Led Zep
A Zep heavy sesh, this, which is a very good thing.

2) Bring On The Dancing Horses - Echo & the Bunnymen.
80s!

3) Crazy English Summer - Faithless.
Fields of fire that pass the train, the sky is victorious, but here comes the rain!
Yup, sounds like English summer!

4) Black Diamond Bay - St. Bobstophales
One of my favourite tracks by Mr. Zimmerman. With an important message - don't stay in a hotel with an active volcano in the background.

5) West End Girls - The Pet Shop Boys
Move along, please.
 
5) West End Girls - The Pet Shop Boys
Move along, please.

kate_jackson_l_02.jpg

The opening riff of which plays when I log back on my computer. God, I'm a sad cool bastard.

1) Canon in D major - Pachelbel
A rather cultured start.

2) I'm Not Talking - The Yardbirds.
Led Zep Mk I, for the uninitiated.

3) Telegram Sam - T-Rex
Kings of glam rock.

4) Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh - Bright Eyes.
Look! An eagle!

5) I Will Follow You Into The Dark - DCFC
Fear is the heart of love.
 
1) Someone Is Waiting - Neutral Milk Hotel
Quite possibly my favorite love song ever. "Someone is waiting to swallow all the halos out of you, as your face blows through my windows, sending pieces flying all around my room. And I love you, and I want to shoot all the superheroes from your sky and watch them bleeding from your ceiling as the empty anger falls out from their eyes..." I love NMH lyrics.

2) Wasting Too Much Time - Rhubarb
I owe dear Syb for all of my Rhubarb music.

3) Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) - Billy Joel
A side note about Billy Joel: until I was about 15, I thought Billy Joel's Piano Man was actually Ghetto Man and sang along accordingly.

4) Caught Up In the Rapture - Anita Baker
Shut up. I love this song. And I sing along great to it.

5) She Talks To Rainbows - Ramones
One of my all-time favorite Ramones songs.
 
1) Under the Milky Way Tonight - The Church
Not too sure about the bagpipes, the rest of it's great though.

2) The Last Time I Saw Richard - Joni Michell
Meh. Off a compilation album, IIRC.

3) Suitcase Song - Nellie McKay
A bit...50s-esque.

4) Flower - Liz Phair.
I got Exile On Guyville recently to see how it compared. Let it Loose is one of my favourite songs ever, this is the 'equivalent'. It's complete unadulterated filth. You get all wet where now?!

5) Lalla Rookh - Fairport Convention
Folk! About a ship. I love the lyric She is a princess of Old India, for no reason.
 
1) What A Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers
You REALLY didn't see this. I wasn't going to post this.

2) Take The Money And Run - Steve Miller Band
Most of this stuff is my Dad's music, I swear.

3) I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses
I love this song more than I think I can adequately express. Such a good "f***-off, you wanker" song.

4) Cut-Out Witch - Guided by Voices
I love this band because it proves that some elementary school teachers really do rock. He taught 4th grade, and quit to start a rock band. And his rock band kicked ass.

5) Quincy Punk Episode - Spoon
If you know me, you know that Spoon is one of my all-time favorite bands ever, and it was probably some of the first stuff I gave you, if I've given you music.
 
The Stone Roses kick ass. A great, northern band.

1) Whenever You Fall I Die - The Delays.
I love these guys. So much so I sent IG a track of em.

2) Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood) - Bob Dylan
I have a crapload of bootleg stuff of Bob's, this is one of em.

3) Mr. Ambulance Driver - The Flaming Lips.
Yep.

4) Dancing Days - Led Zep
I saw a lion, he was standin' alone, with a tadpole in a jar!

5) Harvest Moon - Neil Young
Ah, lovely stuff.
 
I listen to Hideaway all the time. It's on my Socks & Undies playlist. :D

1) Think We're Gonna Make It - Christopher Cross
I can't tell you how many road trips we took when I was little where our main musical accompaniment was 3 cassette tapes by Christopher Cross, James Taylor, and Luther Vandross. Those and Earth, Wind & Fire were the music of my childhood. And some crooner guy...what was his name... Roger Whittaker, I think. I'm surprised I turned out so good, music-taste-wise.

2) Know Your Onion - The Shins
The Shins were my first, self-discovered indie band. I love them. Oh, Inverted World is a perfect album. It changed my life.

3) Too Many Mornings - Mojave 3
Once again, Neil Halstead. One of the most talented, creative singer/songwriters out there.
Too many mornings you’ve been gone from my mind
Where you been hiding your state for sore eyes
they took your car, son, yeah rolled it right away
I guess it’s somewhere but you’re gonna have to pay

It don’t take much
before you lose touch
Yeah you’re all right
you lose it all, you bring it back again
you bring it back again

You can see in your eyes you been through troubled times
D’ya play the guitar, son, or did you just run
The boys brought some beers yeah they left them out back
Ya stay for a while we can go down in style

It don’t take much
To bring it all back
Yeah, you’re all right
you lose it all, you bring it back again
you bring it back again

SUCH a good song.

4) The Body Burns Away - Songs:Ohia
I love Jason Molina. His lyrics are always so good, and he's got such a...smoldering voice. I dunno. I just love it.

5) Conscious Life - Aereogramme
A new one I picked up the other day.
 
:D Glad it's going to good use.

1) Dirty Mind - The Pipettes.
A girl band that's not Motown/from the 60s and is good? My Lord, yes. Plus, Rose is yummy.

2) Tight Connection to My Heart - Bob Dylan
Gah! Sounds like his gospel phase. Plus, Bob gets a shoe in on every one of my posts here it seems.

3) So Long, Astoria - The Ataris
Yeah, American rock, 'rad', and suchlike. Although I do like the place name 'Astoria'.

4) Njosnavelin (The Nothing Song) - Sigur Ros
Ah, Victory Rose. Good, slow stuff.

5) Custard Pie - Led Zep
Reminds me of a girl I used to know, but not in the way you're thinking.
 
Can i get a witness - Marvin Gaye

The set up (you need this) - Reel big fish

You're my best friend - Queen
