Let's play the iPod shuffle!

[kal]

How do you play? Simple! Open your entire music library, put it on shuffle/random, and list/write about each of the songs you come upon. There are some rules that must be strictly adhered to; refusal to do so shall result in absolutely nothing:

Rule 1: There is NO omitting! Even if it's The Spice Girls, you have to list it and bear the shame (and as it happens, The Spice Girls are on my iPod).
Rule 2: Listen to the whole song! Why? Just cause.

Now, to get things rolling...

1.) The Morning After Girls - Run for Our Lives - 4/5
I have to admit I haven't listened to to much of The Morning After Girls, but I do dig them. They have a very cool 60's psychedelic vibe that's reminiscent of The Dandy Warhols, but with some backing female vocals.

2.) Roxy Music - Love is the Drug - 2/5
My urge to shuffle away from this song was high. It's on my iPod for more historical/respect purposes than anything else. That's a dumb reason, I know, but still: anyone else find they do the same with their music collection?

3.) The Last Resort - Resort Boot Buys - 1/5
I have some oi/skinhead music on my iPod; some of it is fun and catchy, some of it is not. This was neither fun nor catchy. My urge to shuffle away from this song was staggeringly high.

4.) The Morning After Girls - Straight Thru You 4/5
Again! It must be fate to listen to more of these guys. Again, very cool song; much more psychedelic than the last song.

5.) Kaiser Chiefs - Thank You Very Much - 3/5
Allow me to preface by saying that I loved the first Kaiser Chiefs album. LOVED IT! But... I'm not a huge fan of the new album; it just doesn't have the outright catchiness the first one had. There's only a handful of songs I'll listen to on it, and this is a middling one. Sophomore slump, indeed.

6.) Lifter Puller - Nice, Nice - 3/5
I don't rightly know who this is, but I'm pretty damned sure it's the singer from The Hold Steady. And if you like The Hold Steady, you'd like this. I kind of have to be in the mood to listen to The Hold Steady, and I'm not exactly in the mood.

7.) Derrick Harriott - You've Really Got A Hold On Me - 4/5
A reggae cover of a motown classic from a Trojan box set a friend lent me. The original has always had some personal signifigance to me, so upon listening to it, my heart begins to melt a little. This didn't melt my heart in the same way, but it certainly stewed a bit.

8.) Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Pinhead Cranberry Dance - 3/5
So, a while ago, my friend lent me a couple of CD's from a Japanese rock band. "What the **** is this?" I said at first, reviling the fact that they don't speak much English (close-minded of me, I know). He urged me to listen to it, and I soon heard some of the catchiest straight up rock riffs I have heard in forever. Seriously: forever! This song isn't that hot, though.

9.) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing (Alternative Version) - 4/5
This one's a bit more mellow than the original, but I still dig immensely.

10.) Foo Fighters - Enough Space - 2/5
Not a big Foo Fighters fan. My friends swear by them, and I swear that they're nothing special.

[comhcinc]

this game cost too much.

[paper]

1. Arcade Fire - Keep the Car Running
This album sucks.

2. The Shins - Sea Legs
This album owns. This particular song....eh...not so much.

3. The Fray - Look After You
Relaxing music for the train ride home at night.

4. Michael Buble - That's Life
I downloaded this album for my mom. I like it a lot though. The second coming of Sinatra.

5. Nightmare of You - Why Am I Always Right
This is a fun little album. All the titles sound extremely emo, but they've actually got a real poppy vibe.

6. Hair (original Broadway cast) - Hair
I like fuzzy.

7. The Decemberists - Sons and Daughters
Another dope album. This song is fun live.

8. The Roots - Dynamite
I saw ?uestlove in the parking lot just before hearing #7 live.

9. Tenacious D - Explosivo!
Niiiiice!

10. Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes
Hell yeah!

[kwok_talk]

1
[B]10. Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes
Hell yeah!

Love it, even though she looks like a goth pirate in the music video

[paper]

When it came out, my friends all made a mutual agreement that it would be an acceptable guilty pleasure. We don't really talk about it.

[kal]

1. Arcade Fire - Keep the Car Running
This album sucks.

I was really let down by the new album too. I always try to listen to any album 3 or 4 times before I damn it, but I'm nearing my 3rd listen and it hasn't won me over yet.

Kelly Clarkson is hidden in the recesses of my iPod as well. Just don't tell anyone, okay?

[jaflanagan]

Alright, I hit party shuffle, and this is the list that came up. This comes from my PC at home, which has my entire lifelong music collection, as well as my wife's so, anything could happen here.

Bury Me With it - Modest Mouse: I don't really like this band this much, and I don't know why I have this. I don't even know what this song is.

I'm the One - Descendents: Love love love this album. So much energy, and it's the one they did later, when they had real recording equipment, and some might say it's too slick, but I love it. The songs, and this in particular have this angry, sweet honesty to them.

Major Tom - David Bowie: Maybe the best song he ever wrote. Fun to play on an acoustic guitar.

I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor - Arctic Monkeys: I didn't want to like this myspace phenom, but dammit if this album isn't the most toe tappinest thing I might have. Plus I love the sneering manchester accents, and the raw guitars.

The Field of Excellence - The Simpsons album: I have this CD of all the songs/jingles done on the show up to a certain point. Probably the late 90's. I don't know what this is.

Hannah - Ray Lamontagne: His voice is raw like a motown singer, except he's a white dude from Maine. I read about this in Esquire, and dig it a whole lot. We used it in my wedding, and then they used it a year and a half later during the failed wedding on the Grey's Anatomy season finale.

Got Me Wrong - Alice in Chains: I used to think this was the best song they ever did. It was in Clerks, and off the Sap EP. I miss Layne Staley's voice. Stupid drugs.

Grievance - Pearl Jam: This is from a live show from June 2003. I'm not sure what song this is. I'm a big Pearl Jam fan, and have been for about 15 years now. I even bought all the albums no one else did. The last one was really good.

Castles Made of Sand - Jimi Hendrix: This might be the hardest song I ever tried to play on a guitar. At some point, I got sick of listening to Hendrix, and now I skip it a lot. However, if it comes up and I don't skip it, I'm still wowed when I give it time.

Radio/Video - System of a DOwn: This is another band that I think might be for kids younger than me. But I like this album a lot if I'm in the mood. It's much smarter than I thought it was. A stripper tried to convince me they were good a long time ago, and I ignored her, but I guess she was right.

Euro Trash - Dropkick Murpheys: From my proud irish punk phase. I'm not really into this very much these days.

Is It In My Head - The Who: Quadrophenia. Pearl Jam made me a giant Who fan. I really like Quadrophenia, but it can get a little flowery.

For You Blue - Beatles - This is a George Harrison song from the anthology CDs. It's basically a blues, but I think George was great, so I like this song a lot.

The Boy With the Thorn in his Side - Smiths: I must have copied this from Ron. I like it sometimes.

Lithium - Nirvana: I went to high school from 1990 to 1995, so I shouldn't have to explain this.

Mad at My Mother - Steve Martin: Awesome comedy album, Let's get small. Funnier than most stand ups today, and certainly more creative than anything he's done in decades.

[kal]

I'm the One - Descendents: Love love love this album. So much energy, and it's the one they did later, when they had real recording equipment, and some might say it's too slick, but I love it. The songs, and this in particular have this angry, sweet honesty to them.



Absolutely. I'd say they benefit from the better production values, since "Cool to Be You" is my favorite album of theirs, though this is my favorite song from this album. I have left my punk rock days behind me, but both The Descendents and All will probably remain two of my favorite bands.

[itsbecca]

1. Ani Difranco - Soft Shoulder
I would "switch teams" for Ani Difranco. Enough said.

2. Mogwai - Christmas Steps
Mogwai is fantastic. This isn't my favorite song by them though, but so goes the shuffle.

3. Smashing Pumpkins - Hummer
I grew up in the 90's. What can I say. I have Smashing Pumpkins on my computer.

4. Bad Religion - You Are
Bad Religion albums are funny. There's some good songs, and then there's some songs that are just diatribes with music in the background.

5. The Stranglers - Golden Brown
From the Snatch soundtrack, which, in case you were wondering, is pure goodness (just like the movie). You have to hear this song.

6. Cursive - Making Friends and Acquaintances
So this band was all cool awhile back. I still like them. It annoys me that I'm not supposed to like them anymore for the sole reason that other people started to like them.

7. They Might Be Giants - Someone Keeps Moving My Chair
Thank GOD this song came up. TMBG has been a favorite band of mine since I was in elementary school. I just... I don't even know how to describe how fantastic they are. They have an accordion. They have songs about James K Polk and James Ensor . The coined the phrase "Wave your freak flag". They just... they just... GOD I love this band.

[b]8. Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates
Another band I've liked for a very long time, thank you for siblings with good musical taste. They're the kind of band who's music just reaches out and grabs your brain and takes you on a little trip until you press the stop button. Then your head almost hurts from the plummet back to earth.

9. ***** and Animal - When I See You
I feel like it's hard to tout this band, because they aren't together anymore. And you really just have to see them live. It's just an experience. The songs are very clever though and hold up in album form. I am pleased though, at the amount of bands that came up on this list that have alternative instruments (fiddle and a wide array of drums for this one). Music is something that needs to be played with, stretched and expanded. How many more of these 3-chord, 3-piece, one hit wonders does this world really need? This is my music.

10. TV on the Radio - Staring at the Sun
Hell yes. What a good end. They're amazing singers. I have to admit some of their songs fall a little flat for me, but this song has such amazing energy. It just builds up in your chest till you want to just jump up and have the best day of your life. It's a good song.

[luthor]

1. The Breeders - Cannonball
This band should have been huge. Could you call them a one hit wonder?

2. Sloan - Can't Face Up
I don't think I've listened to this song in like 8 years. I loved Sloan once upon a time and then just kind of forgot about them.

3. Our Lady Peace - Happiness and the Fish
Good tune from days gone by. This exercise is making me feel old.

4. Bad Religion - Individual
Smartest Punk band on the planet.

5. The Smashing Pumpkins - Once Upon A Time
I've never heard this song before. I remember buying this album on Boxing Day a few years ago for $3 then promptly putting it in my CD case and never listening to it. I have FAR too many albums like that.

6. WWE - Big Show Theme Song
Yep, I'm a mark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_slang#M).

7. Finger Eleven - Change the World
I met the Finger Eleven guys years ago when they were called Rainbow Butt Monkeys. We've had friends in common since and partied together from time to time. I've picked up anything they've put out. This new album is really Pop radio friendly. Not sure if I like it.

8. Dennis Leary - Meat
Dennis Leary is f#cking funny.

9. UB-40 - Tears from My Eyes
In 1996, I won a contest called "96 CDs for you and your bestfriend." This was one of the CDs. I think I listened to this a lot when I was 19 and depressed but I don't know. Not a bad tune.

10. Eels - Son of a *****
How could you not love a song with these lyrics? (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Son-Of-A-*****-lyrics-Eels/8ACE4296C4C6D46D482570010006404D) By far my favorite band. This is from thier latest album(which is great). I love Eels.

[itsbecca]

We both have Smashing Pumpkins and Bad Religion on our list, even though it looks like we have vastly different musical tastes.

I like that.

[six-gun]

Awesome Thread!

I'm not really good at saying why I like a song or why I got it, but this is what happened why I hit "shuffle"

AC/DC- Rock and Roll Aint Noise Pollution
The White Stripes-The Denial Twist
Panic! At The Disco- I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Coldplay- Clocks
Metalica- Fuel
Jimmy Hendrix- Voodoo Child
Blue Oyster Cult- Don't Fear The Reaper
Franz Ferdinand- Bang Bang
Al Jolson- Sittin' On Top of The World
Johnny Cash- I Walk The Line

[paper]

Haha, how'd the Jolson sneak in there?

I had to do a Jolson impression for a play I was in. (no visual. just the voice.)

[kahunablair]

1. Switchfoot – Learning to Breathe -- You may not be a fan of this band, but this is a good teen drama lesson learned theme song. 3/5
2. Toby Keith – As Good As I Once Was – Always need a few country songs on the iPod and Toby’s one of the best modern cowboy types 4/5
3. Nina Pearson – Losing my Religion – Good song, obviously a cover. Not as good as the original but still not bad 3/5
4. Surfjan Stevens – The Perpetual Self – Good to have a few of his songs, if just for indie cred! Kidding, he’s awesome, and there’s a reason he’s loved as much as he is. 4/5
5. Big Daddy Weave- Pharisee – Got this one off a compilation CD, not a bad song. 3/5
6. Flogging Molly – Drunken Lullabies (Acoustic version) – The only thing that could have improved the original is to have an acoustic version. The best 5/5
7. Michael Buble - Spider-Man Theme – Have all the guys CDs, great artist. If you want to get a theme song stuck in your head, pop this song on 5/5
8. Pink and Indigo Girls – Dear Mr. President – If you have ANY problems with government figures, this is a song you should listen to. Pink has a great voice, if only she just sang something other then weird Pop Ballads. 5/5
9. Johnny Cash – Redemption Song – What’s better then the unbelievable power of Cash? How about his cover of a Bob Marley song? 5/5
10. Thousand Foot Krutch – Absolute – A harder rock band. I’d recommend this song to anyone that thinks that christian bands are Creed-ish. 4/5

[itsbecca]

1. Switchfoot – Learning to Breathe

Awwww. I love switchfoot... and I'm an atheist. They're just so inspirational. They're my secret happy time music.

[six-gun]

Haha, how'd the Jolson sneak in there?

[six-gun]

Awwww. I love switchfoot... and I'm an atheist. They're just so inspirational. They're my secret happy time music.

That's their goal, to get non-Christians listening to their music as an evangelical tool. So like are you like super atheist or more agnostic?

[humphrey-lee]

The Riverboat Gamblers - "The Curse of the Ivory Coast"
Really energetic and bouncy pop punk song from Texas. Yes, Texas. One of the better songs on the disc.

Hot Water Music - "Old Rules"
Honestly, I haven't listened to these guys in years. I used to love it, but it seems kind of boring to me now. They were great back in the day though.

The Bled - "I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore"
Also kinda sucky. Loved their first releases but I don't know what the hell was up with the junk on this album.

Motion City Soundtrack - "Modern Chemistry"
Little on the slower side (which these guys spend about half their time) but this has some fantastic lyrics and great use of the synth (oh yeah, god loves a synthesizer).

MXPX - "Grey Skies Turn Blue"
Some more great pop punk. Definitely head boppin material.

The Misfits - "Return of the Fly"
Come on, it's the Misfits. Nuff said.

Zero 7 - "Distractions"
Honestly, this is the first time I've ever heard this. It's off one of the Six Feet Under soundtracks I got with my box set of DVDs. Kind of low key digital effects/music in the background with a chick who sounds kinda like Fiona Apple singing. Not bad, something I'd never listen to otherwise though.

NoFX - "Can't Get The Stink Out"
66 Seconds of Fat Mike yelling some randomly in your face lyrics. One of my fave punk bands ever.

Rocket From the Crypt - "Bucket of Piss"
Just some good Alt Rock. Not as strong lyrically as some of the others of theirs, but the music itself has a lot of energy and tone changes to it. Fun stuff.

Rise Against - "Life Less Frightening"
Easily my favorite punk band from the past decade. Such a great modern rock sound with some of the most human lyrics you get. So, so good...

[kahunablair]

I love this game. To any artist out there I suggest sitting somewhere with your iPod, hit shuffle, and then draw a what the song/title/chorus makes you think of. Try to be different and goofy. It's meant as a tool to get your juices flowing. I have pages and pages in my sketch book full of them.


Oh and Paper..... I'm scared now. Maybe the magic music demons in our iPods our trying to tell us something... Maybe we should swing around Philly dress up in Tuxes while fighting crime?

Rise Against is great. Haven't thought about them in ages. This calls for some digging....

Maybe we should swing around Philly dress up in Tuxes while fighting crime?

That's their goal, to get non-Christians listening to their music as an evangelical tool. So like are you like super atheist or more agnostic?

Is there a difference between a super atheist and a normal atheist? I think I'm just a normal atheist. But I'm definitley not agnostic, I don't *****foot around such issues.

Also, Humphrey Lee your list is fantastic. My fiance would pee himself if he saw someone mentioning Rocket from the Crypt.

Without turning this great thread into a religion talk, I think I know what SixGun meant when he said Super Atheist.
He's probably referring to an atheist that is brazen and scary in your face about it. Kind of like a crazy Evangelical. Where it's more about the person being loud and important then what the message/belief they're talking about.

[itsbecca]

Yeah I'm not up in people's business. A super atheist probably wouldn't listen to Switchfoot. Or someone mentioned MxPx. That's another band of christians. Although their songs are purely secular (unlike switchfoot) they're both so damn happy. I'm sorry, I'm a happy person damnit.

You're scaring me man, because you just explained what I was thinking better than I could. Bravo! And I in no way meant to be offensive itsbecca, so I'm incredibly sorry if I was, my mom likes to say that teenagers are incapable of thinking before they talk (or in this case, type.)

By the way, no Led Zeppelin other than me, what's up with that? :)

[kwok_talk]

Fun idea

1. Elliott Smith - Trouble - I don't recall this song much
2. Belle and Sebastian - Mornington Crescent - The album that got me back into B&S
3. Keane - Hamburg Song - Nice and sad
4. Sufjan Stevens - The Friendly Beasts - Too me a while, but I'm on the Sufjan train now.
5. The Clash - Interview on the Circle Line
6. Anberlin - Readyfuels - Not as good as their more recent stuff
7. The Faint - Ballad of a Paralyzed Citizen - I love this album
8. Blindside - Midnight - Album pretty much went under the radar
9. Matisyahu - Close My Eyes - Bought it just to see what the fuss was about
10. The Game - One Night - Don't like much gangsta rap, but I liked the Game for some reason.

Like Kosheen, but not my favorite track of theirs...a little...screechy
3-Love Don't Live-Urban Blues project
More Deep House--funky, but mellow
4-Truth Don Die-Femi Kuti
Son of the great Fela Kuti--a crucial track on a crucial album
5-The End of all Things To Come-Mudvayne
A bit of a genre jump--Mudvayne-not for everyone but I dig em-this track is particularly apocalyptic
6-You Give me Something--???
A deep cut from my friend's extensive record collection--This is a Larry Levan/Garage style tune.
7-Solve et Coagula-Mudvayne
what the hell is up with this shuffle-a shockin genre jump again. More Mudvayne madness
8-The Sack Of Beziers-Martin Best Medieval Ensemble
Spoken word bit about the sack of Bezier on a Medival compilation-uh--WTF?
9-Without You-Bic Runga
What ever happened to Bic Runga-This album is great
10-Sons of Plunder-Disturbed
These guys are sort of mainstream but still have a message to get out--good for them.

[big-doze]

You don't? Cuz I call that Tuesday.

"When a crime breaks out
All the cute girls shout:
'Get the Good-Lookin' Guy!'
When there's a crime out there
He's gonna comb his hair
Cuz he's the Good-Lookin' Guy!"


Dude, I just had a nostalgiorgasm.

Peaches-Presidents of the USA: If you grew up in the ninties, you know every word to this song (mainly because there were, like, 7).

Sugar Magnolia-Grateful Dead: Perhaps the best cruising song ever.

Bucket Seats-Cake: Easily one of my favorite bands

Born to Run-Bruce Springsteen: Not a huge Boss fan, but my girlfriend infiltrated my iTunes. Devious! Still good.

Hump de Bump-Red Hot Chili Peppers: Love the new album. They've almost got their funk back

One Four Five-The Cat Empire: The best band on Earth, and no one knows them. For shame. Best live show I've ever seen.

Further to Fly-Paul Simon: I would've been happier with Diamond on the Soles of Her Shoes, but you take what you can get

Ants Marching-Dave Matthews: I have a nervous twitch whenever I hear this song. Good tune, but it's burned into my mind

Born at the Right Time-Paul Simon: See previous Paul Simon song

Adventure Today-The Aquabats: Second best live show ever.

Dr. Worm-They Might Be Giants: Amazingly brilliant band with the wisdom to never take themselves too seriously. Excellent song.

Dancing Queen-ABBA: Don't judge, you have it too. And you dance to it. I've seen you.

Guitar Man-Cake: Reminds me of my dad a lot, so good and bad in much the same way.

Wasting My Life-Unknown: Ska song, dunno who did it, but who can hate a song that starts "I can't stop thinkin' while I'm on the can?"

Shaft Theme-Issac Hayes: Hell yes.

A.T.H.F.-DangerDoom: Hilarious album. If you like adult swim, you owe it to yourself

The Q-Man Loves Nobody But Himself-Family Guy Live in Las Vegas: So much better than a cartoon CD has any right to be. Seth Macfarlane can sing like a mother


It keeps adding more to my party suffle, so I must needs stop.

[itsbecca]

Peaches-Presidents of the USA: If you grew up in the ninties, you know every word to this song (mainly because there were, like, 7).


They even parodied it on Bill Nye the Science Guy.

I can't be the only one here who watched that (...faithfully)

[r0blaw]

1. The Recruiting Sergeant/The Rocky Road to Dublin/Gallway Races-The Pogues: I love the Pogues. Mixing rock, traditional irish music, and one of the ugliest men in music.

2. Sam's Song-Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin: How can you go wrong with two crooners together!

3. Limo Wreck-Soundgarden: Not my favorite Soundgarden song, but they are my favorite band.

5. Heartbreaker-Led Zepplin: How can you go wrong with Zepplin?

6. Sir Duke-Stevie Wonder: Actually one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs

11. To Myself I Turned-Nightwish: Opera Metal. It's good times. Crazy Finns

12. Double Team-Tenacious D: It doesn't get much funnier than The D

13. Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me-Elton John: Elton John is great. Well the old stuff anyway

14. Run Through the Jungle-Creedence Clearwater Revival: There is nothing better for me to kick off the warm weather than some CCR

15. Down Under-Men at Work: Hell yeah. I love me some cheesy 80s music

Atreyu - Shameful - 4/5
Apparently I have Atreye on my iPod. I had no idea. This is catchy, though. I won't hate.

Bad Religion - Don't Pray on Me - 2/5
Don't get me wrong, I love me some of the ol' Bad Rel-ig-ion, but I'm not a big fan of this album or song.

Rise Against - The First Drop - 4/5
I, too, am a Rise Against fan. One of the better bands to hit the mainstream in a long while.

Sufjan Stevens - They Are Night Zombies!! 5/5
I adore this song. It's beautiful, haunting, and catchy all at the same time. My head bobbed to this song.

The Clash - Hateful - 5/5
I think I would give every song on London Calling a 5/5. I sung along to this song. "Ohhh, anything I want, he gives it to me. Anything I want, he gives it, but not for free!'

New York Dolls - I'm a Human Being - 4/5
Awesome song. I haven't listened to a lot of the New York Dolls, but this song makes me want to listen to them more.

Andrew Bird - Why? -
This is a fantastic album. I love the low-key bluesy feel of it.

[jgg0610]

All right here goes:

Bebe Neuwirth - Can't Do It Alone, love the musical Chicago but it works better as a movie

Pink Floyd - One of These Days, good to relax to at the end of any kind of week

Wagner - Hoiho Hoihohoho, a portion of the ring cycle

Holst - The Planets Saturn, its amazing how much Williams was "inspired" by this when he wrote the score for the first Star Wars film

[s-sanchez]

1.Face Plant byPepper:I remember getting into Pepper because of some Amazon "customers who bought this also liked this" type of things when I was buying a sublime album. Good punky song, very energetic. They've pretty much become one of my favorite bands. 4/5

2.Re-Invention by Too Rude: See what I said about Pepper and apply it to this band, and thats how I found them. THis is off their second album which is nowhere near as good as the first. Somehow they thought dropping the horns made them better and its only made them more generic. I dont like this song actually, but i'll tough it out. Okay, not as bad as I thought. 2/5

3.For the Babies By Damian Marley-Great song, very relaxing actually. Perfect music to smoke by. 4/5

4.Lets get back by No Doubt-THis is off their first album. I'm a huge No Doubt fan, their first 3 albums specifically, but I still dig some of the newer stuff. I'm actually looking forward to a new album, hopefully they bring the horns back. Kanal was playing the bass like a mofo on this track 5/5

5.Brand New Day By No Doubt-Another one off the first album, I seriously love that album. THis one gets better as it goes along and ends strong. 4/5

6.No Control by 311-Pretty much my all time favorite band, seen em twice live. THis is off transistor a huge ass album that took awhile for me to appreciate but is now my favorite out of all 11 (yes they have 11 albums...or was it 12? Damn my memory) 4/5

7.Meltdown by The Adequate Seven-Found this band on myspace, but I dont remember how exactly. Might have been by accident. Really great band that mixes the funk with punk to some great results, this song however is one of my least favorites of theirs. Very laid back and is just an instrumental 2/5

8.California Babylon by The Transplants: Off the first album, one of their better songs. 3/5

9.Do You Right by 311:Great song off their first album. Gets even better after the 1:35 mark 5/5

10.Livin & Rockin by 311:Not one of my favorites for some reason, but still pretty good. Oh now I know why, too much of the "nobody does it like 311" stuff 3/5

11.Legal Dub by Sublime:Sorta cover of the Marley song, I included this cuz it was Sublime and i abslutely LOVE sublime.

And there ya have it. Would have like to have some of my rap songs come up (like the GZA) but thats a pretty good shuffle.

Sometimes my ipod freaks me out, like I'm thinking about a certain song then suddenly, it's the very next song that comes up and sometimes the next song is like the perfect compliment to the song before it. It's almost as if...it's alive. haha

[darron]

They even parodied it on Bill Nye the Science Guy.

I can't be the only one here who watched that (...faithfully)

You're not. Bill Nye was a pillar of my youth. His parodies were awesome, and I always loved watching stuff 'pop' (nothing ever really blew up, y'know) on his show. Also, my science teacher really liked him, so any rainy day was Bill Nye time.

[kahunablair]

I liked Bill Nye, even before he had his own show. Remember the Back to the Future Cartoon series hosted by Christopher Lloyd? Well they would have little science lessons that related to what was going on in the show. Bill Nye was his assistant and did all the experiments.

I liked Nye, but Beakmen is the man!

[luthor]

FYI: Last.fm basically does this.

http://www.last.fm/user/kevinisluthor

[jgg0610]

My wife turned me on to Bill Nye some years back and now thanks to that and you guys I have the damn theme song stuck in my head!

[big-doze]

I liked Nye, but Beakmen is the man!

Truer words, sir, were never spoken. Did Bill Nye have a giant rat for a lab assistant? I believe he didn't.

Checkmate, Mr. Nye.

[paper]

I got you all beat. Available only at weird hours on public access television, Philly's own...Grand Hank. His lab coats were airbrushed!

Ok Paper, I have no clue what that show is, but I'm oddly intrigued!

That looks like the Fresh Prince 20 years later version.

[banal]

Deh! torno mio bene (Proch Variations) - Beverly Hoch: One of my favorite opera singers, this song has a wonderful echo chase towards the end between flute/violin and voice. Downside, I always forget the highest note at the end and momentarily deafen myself.


Arlene - The Handsome Family: The first time I heard this song it put me in mind of a folksy Violent Femmes, so needless to say I fell into instead adoration. I mean, what isn't there to love about stalking and murder in low tones and soft chords?


Amores Como El Nuestro - Jerry Rivera: This was actually set to be the first dance at my wedding before we broke it off several years ago. Now it feels like tender nostalgia, good memories and a fair bit of relief.


Belleville Rendez-Vous (French Version) - Ben Charest: Recently downloaded this album after watching the Triplets of Belleville. Absolutely amazing song, full of swing and an inability to stay still while listening to it.


Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division: One of my favorite songs. Represents everything that I love about music. Painful and beautiful. Tender and violent. Awkward and seamless. All landscaped in its sheer brilliance.


He Hit Me (And it Felt Like a Kiss) - The Crystals: I almost have to like this song dispassionately. It's wonderfully conveyed in the realism of the topic is broaches but yet still pisses me off because I know too many people who ascribe to the very ideal evoked. All that said, still a great song.


Airport Taxi Reception - Sondre Lerche: This calls to mind every moment between two people of romance, caught in the stills of airport drop offs and terminals. Yet still caught in something light-hearted for all the nuances it brings to mind. I heart it lots.


West Virginia Mine Disaster - Jean Ritchie: The best folk singer I've ever heard. This song is done entirely a cappella, from the perspective of a woman enmeshed in the ensuing emotions of what the title conveys. Incredibly haunting and viscerally palpable in a way that always makes me cry if I listen to it more than twice in a row.


Wada Na Tod - Lata Mangeshkar: I got this song from a friend of mine who's a professional belly dancer. And that's just a weird job description. Regardless, it calls to mind this dance I saw in the movie Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, where veils and passion convey in the undulating motions and almost guttural chiming of sounds. Also, for some reason I can't quite fathom, makes me think of Lila Downs.


Elvira - Oak Ridge Boys: I find it beyond hilarious that I have this song. This is the song that they made us learn to square dance to for gym class in third and fifth grade. Also brings me back to those Elvira horror nights when she would do Halloween specials and host the Friday night horror lineup. Ha. Awesome. My dad used to have a big thing for her too. The depths to which I really wish I hadn't just thought about.


Burn Girl Prom Queen - Mogwai: This is the quintessential suicide song to me. Pair it up with Stanley Kubrick and you might as well prime your bathtubs with a full razor enclave. Which is a huge part of what I enjoy so much about them, in that completely freeing just feel as depressed as you want to, when it's over we'll piece you back together if you just let us, sort of vein. That, and the name correlation to Gizmo, cause he's adorable.


Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters: I don't care what anyone says, Karen Carpenter had one of the most amazing voices. And this song, how apropos that it is in fact Monday and drizzly, makes me think of my mom singing to herself as she made dresses on her sewing machine when I was little. Which is actually a little depressing now that I think about it. Erm.


Lookin' For Love - Johnny Lee: Wow. I haven't listened to some of these songs in a long time. This has my mom in her country western phase written all over it, when she got a belt with her name imprinted on the leather with flowers around it and would go to county western bars every weekend. Still though, a song I enjoy, and always takes me to a movie I love, Urban Cowboy.


Singapore - Tom Waits: This song exemplifies just the sort of pirate movie I'd love to see. Where the tragic comedy of the Pirate Movie is mixed in with Rumble Fish and Alice in Wonderland with a touch of barroom brawls conveyed in Waits husky, caustic-tinged sung drawl.


Change (In the House of Flies) - Deftones: Chino's voice in this makes me think of bdsm and taunting romance. Sketched in the underside of the sort of brooding evocation that passion pines for. All overcast by the crawling need of its sound, which moves over you skin like a conquering, that you beg for.



And I think that 15 are quite more than enough for now.

[drwally]

So, I see a few people mention the Al Jolson song at the beginning of Peter Jackson's King Kong, and say they are "fans of the era," so I hit my party shuffle and ask, "Or just a Newb?":D

I swear, this is exactly what came up on my very large iTunes collection with one hit of party shuffle just now:

Bojangles of Harlem - Fred Astaire and an extremely large troop of tap dancers for most of the song, from a Fred and Ginger movie, mostly the song is Fred and all the tap dancers going at it full tilt, back beat multiplied several times over - contemporary drum and bass bores me to tears. I get bored quickly by simplistic rythyms and one note bass players. This number, however, is a symphony of complex rythyms...in tap shoes.

Di Hasidim Furn Tsum Rebin (The Hasidim Travel to the Rebbe) 1924 - Kandel's Orchestra - If you want some toe tapping, happy feet fun feel good music, or maybe a lovely melody, HAVE to go with the real Yiddish Klezmer. I have lots more Klezmer, this is where people like Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman first learned how to play their instruments. Usually I prefer Sam Musiker in Klezmer -- Now THAT is what I call dance music.

The Internatinional - Leveler's Ching Dong, Soul Flower Mononoke Summit Contemporary Japanese mucisians playing the traditional anthem of the 2nd International (Japanese lyrics from the time of the Socialist Workers of the World Unite era), on Japanese "Ching Dong" instruments -- Sax, Clarinet, Okinawan Shamisen (Japanese Banjo), and Japanese drums. Political Party Music. Lots of yelping by the girls on the drums. The vocalist is great -- rich, rough, manly voice. Rockin' good song.

Old Yazoo - Fred Waring and His Orchestra Hot Jazz of the early 30's, Fred Waring's Orchestra did a mix of Hot Jazz dance and novelty music for mostly white audiences. A couple of songs from this album ended up in Betty Boop cartoons.

Si, J'etais blanche - Josephine Baker I think when she sang this in Paris in the 30s, most French were saying "J'tais Josephine Baker." For you Rubes and Newbs in the audience tonight, she was the famous girl that took over Paris doing that crazy banana dance. She later had a very accomplished singing career -- very sweet, very soulful, very French ballad.

What Would You Do? - The ARC Studio Band with Smith Ballew Who was Smith Ballew? This is from the early 30s, and represents CROONING, as in the REAL thing. Some may have noticed the running theme here already....my music collection is filled with crooners. Including Morrisey.

They All Fall in Love - Jack Hylton and His Orchestra More crooning, more Hot Jazz dance music -- melodic, melancholy but with that swing.

Lullaby of Broadway - Winifred Shaw Theme song from a Busby Berkeley musical. This performance of the title song is the best thing about the picture (and just about all I remember).

You Do Something To Me - Sinead O'Conner (from the Red Hot Blue album tribute to Cole Porter to raise money to fight AIDS in the late 80s) Yes, it is true -- I have both Marlene Dietrich and Sinead O'Conner singing this classic Cole Porter number. And Sinead does it justice, almost as good as Marlene...and that's quite an achievement.

Harlem Joys - Willie the Lion Smith and His Cubs More Hot Jazz dance music, more bluesy and rag than swing, closer to when the Charleston was big. Harlem from back in the day. Comprede?

Kimi Koi Shi - Nimura Teiichi (1928) Vaudville number by one of Japan's premier jazz singers back in the day. He did fun jazzy numbers, comedy numbers, and ballads. This is a ballad. This guy was great, very funny. Did mostly the Asakusa theatre circuit until everyone got fired up about some war over in Manchuria and military and boring patriotic anthems were all you could get on the radio.

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) - The Mills Brothers I think the title says it all.

Black Bottom - Johnny Hamp and His Kentucky Serenaders The Black Bottom was one of the many dance crazes just after the Charleston.

Nan to Ie Yo - Ishihara Yujiro Ballad from the late 50s by the incredibly well known Ishihara Yujiro (his brother is now Govenor of Tokyo). In his earliest days, Yujiro was like a Japanese version of James Dean. Girls were warned to stay away by their mothers just after the war when Yujiro hit it big. This song features a woman talking -- "Oh, you're just drunk, is that why you say you love me?"

The Boys in the Back Room - Marlene Dietrich GREAT SONG. If you don't know this one, you just don't know... Basically Marele singing a rousing cheer to her old drinking buddies.

Winter - Teenage Fanclub Been meaning to listen to this one, but been distracted with other stuff...now listening to it this very moment...hmmmm, not bad...

Kimi Koi Shi - Nimura Teiichi (1928) Wow, double lucky. This song is so well known, it keeps popping up on albums.

Truckin' - Rube Bloom (From the Soundtrack of the film, The Cotton Club) The soundtrack from this film is so great because the did one thing -- they reveled in how wonderful the old music was they were paying tribute to, and didn't **** with it, thinking they could do better. Creole Love Song from this film is extremely good.

Let's Call a Heart a Heart - Billie Holliday and Her Orchestra From her early days. Lady Day herself. I like the song "Billie's Blues." As you can see, she is one of the very few female singers that make it in my doors.

Bugle Call Rag - Cab Calloway Oh Cab, you go sir, you go... James Brown was in his nappies when Cab was layin' in down...

Poses - Rufus Wainwright First two albums are really great stuff, and this song is absolutely wonderful. I feel guilty about saying I think his music was better when he had the drug problem. I tried his later stuff after the first two albums, but when "ballad" becomes "mournful dirge on powerful downers" I check out.

Reno Dakota - The Magnetic Fields I got tons of songs by these guys. The entire "66 Loves Songs (about Love)" collection, plus one other. This girl is great.

"He even had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes,
I didn't have that many, but I had a long, long way to go..."
--Billie's Blues, Billie Holliday

Whoa. Very diverse selection. I loved the first Rufus album. Haven’t really followed him since, but had no idea he had a drug problem then.

[drwally]

Whoa. Very diverse selection. I loved the first Rufus album. Haven’t really followed him since, but had no idea he had a drug problem then.

Rufus' first two albums were Rufus Wainwright and Poses, both of which I would put in my top 20 albums. His "post drug problem" albums are Want One and everything after that. He's been public about his drug problem after recovery in TV interviews, but some of us are people who know people, you know what I mean? Put more bluntly, a friend of mine said she was going to possible go over and meet Rufus when he was visiting a mutual friend in SF, but Rufus kept screaming (audible over the phone even from the other side of the room), "**** that, when do we score the ****-ing drugs!?!"

My collection is diverse? As long as albums conform to two things -- between 1920 and 1941 and/or male vocalist. I really don't do classical...

Ha. I guess that’s pretty blatant.

Poses was one of the first albums I got to review when I was young collegiate working at the school radio station. I was (and probably still am) completely oblivious to his musical family heritage, but man, I loved that album. The strings on Greek Song always sound hauntingly beautiful to me even after all these years.

The strings on Greek Song always sound hauntingly beautiful to me even after all these years.

Apparently, he wrote Greek Song after visiting the famous islands there, and found some hauntingly beautiful sights there... In an interview, he said it's about falling for someone on vacation who leads a double life ("The girl is gone so come on let's go"), then you have to leave your wonderful vacation and fly home...

For me, I just find that the musical arrangements of the first two albums far more interesting than what came after. As you can see from my list I mostly listen to lots of lage jazz orchestras where instruments and musical arrangements are key, and far more intricate compared to most modern stuff.

And don't forget Tadzio in the Gray Gardens....

[mikegraham6]

My iPod has a variety of different types of music on it but it seemed to pick mostly my punk tracks when i put it on shuffle. Here's what came up (I also kept the rating system Kal put in place because i thought it was a good idea):
The Authority Song - Jimmy Eat World 4/5
A decent track, it always reminds me of National Lampoon's Van Wilder when I hear it though. I love the chick singing in this song, it's so damn catchy.
Sweet Child Of Mine - Guns N' Roses 4/5
Hair metal? who doesn't love this song, and if you don't, your lying. I actually jumped on the GNR boat pretty late. my buddies were in a band in high school and their lead singer sounded exactly like Axel so they would always close their shows with a GNR track and that's how i grew to love them
Shoulder to the Wheel - Saves the Day 4/5
I used to be a HUGE Saves the Day fan. Im not too impressed with their newer stuff but Stay Were You Are is an awesome album. This is my favorite track off the album prior to that, Through Being Cool.
Above the Sky - Airwave (Extended Mix) 3/5
Back in High School i used to be a trance DJ. I loved that stuff and most of my money went to expensive european imports (all that money is now being spent on comics). Im now im now in the process of transferring all those tracks onto my iPod and this is one of them, not a bad song, just average.
Sidewalks - Story of the Year 3/5
A nice mellow song by a band that usually louder. Their album was one of the few I bought during the Napster phase. I went from buying a CD or 3 a week to 2 a year, i've since wised up.
Crawling in the Dark - Hoobastank 4/5
I can't stand Hoobastank stuff anymore ever since they played the shit out of one of their songs (i can't remember which one) but this is still a fun, fast paced song from my high school days. I was big right when i first got my driver's licence and i remember cruising around to it. I think it was also in a mountain dew ad....
To A Friend - Alexisonfire 3/5
Alexisonfire is, in my opinion, the best Canadian band right now. They are screamo and i feel that if they ditched the yelling they would probably 100 times more popular. This is one of their more average songs though, but it's still great. Check them out.
Where'd You Go - Fort Minor 3/5
I downloaded this album right before leaving on a 2 month trip to europe and felt it was a big waste of money. Its pretty boring and generic and i only liked 3 tracks on it. This being one (and i only rated it 3/5, so that shows how i feel about fort minor)
Worms of the Universe - Finch 2/5
Love Finch, but this isn't their best song, i would have skipped this, if i was allowed
At Least I'm Known For Something - A New Found Glory 5/5
Great song. I love A New Found Glory, some people may think their stuff is cheesy, but damn is it fun. This track in particular is a really fun song.

Thats me list. that was pretty fun, good idea Kal.

[ronxo]

I'm a big Rufus fan, have been since the first record - I interviewed him while touring for Poses and it was before rehab and he was very much indeed "Affected" There was a great article in the NY Times around when Want One or Want Two came out about his difficulties with drinking and with meth. But he's totally clean now from what I've heard/know.

Conor and I saw him in NYC this past Friday and he was spectacular - but I was bummed because he didn't play any older stuff - mainly the new record and some songs from the Want albums. But that's to be expected.

But wow, was the encore ever fabulous - he did an amazing song and dance number to "Come on Get Happy," an holdover from the Judy Garland performance (which I saw last summer at Carnegie Hall) - it was fantastic!

If you haven't heard Rufus ever and like singer-songwriter-folky-cabaretesque-flamboyant music - I strongly recommend it!

[kal]

Whenever I hear Sweet Child of Mine, I no longer think of how great of a song it is; instead, I think, "Hey, it's a Guitar Hero song!" Guitar Hero has damned some of the finest rock songs ever produced and made it simple videogame fodder for my mind.

[drwally]

My iPod has a variety of different types of music on it but it seemed to pick mostly my punk tracks when i put it on shuffle.

That's 'cause you got lots of punk rock, eh. Mike Graham, Punk Rocker. Got any Industrial Music? Anybody know what that is? (Like Meat Beat Manifesto)

[mikegraham6]

of course i know them, i used to be an expert on all things electronic in my high school days. Metal mixed with techno, you can't go wrong!...... right????:o

Ever listen to skinny puppy or KMFDM?

[ronxo]

To play along - my ipod has been on shuffle all day, here are the last 10 songs I listened to, sans commentary cause I'm working here people. The songs can speak for themselves

1) Back and to the Left - Texas Is the Reason
2) The Radiator Hums - Cursive
3) This is the One - The Stone Roses
4) Bullet Train to Vegas - Drive By Jehu
5) Selective Communication - Error Type:11
6) Spring Heeled Jim - Morrissey
7) Tulsa - Rufus Wainwright
8) Subway Train - The New York Dolls
9) Picadilly Palare - Morrissey
10) Gronlandic Edit - Of Montreal

[drwally]

Wow, I would have loved to have seen that encore. I'm not real crazy about his new stuff, but I have absolutely adored all of the covers he's done since the first two albums. All of them. And there is always one I haven't heard about that he does and I love it. I'm from SF, and we really like that Cabaret vibe. New York steals all our best. Just ask Kiki and Herb.

And where's the love for Suede?

[s-sanchez]

The Authority Song - Jimmy Eat World 4/5
A decent track, it always reminds me of National Lampoon's Van Wilder when I hear it though. I love the chick singing in this song, it's so damn catchy.


THats the only Jimmy Eat World song I really dig. You're so spot on about it being damn catchy, it's infectious.

[drwally]

I saw Meat Beat Manifesto live in 1989 in this tiny place, and it was half empty. Two white guys that looked extremely mean, extremely tough, and a ballet dancer in a big rubber Japanese monster suit, no mask, no tail, lots of make up and a feather boa around his neck, dancing non stop. This is what we danced to in clubs. 808 State (?) I think was played often. Industrial Music was the music of my mispent youth (late 80s early 90s) until the crowd I hung in switched to a BritPop/80s retro thing in around '95.

So, these days, I find club life a little...boring, music wise. Techno with no edge to me just don't cut the steel like the buzz saw (add music, that's Industrial!)

I loved 808 state back in the day! they were one of the few groups who got me into techno in the first place! i still have their greatest hits album on my iPod. just the fact that they collaborated with Bjork years before she was popular makes them intriguing in my opinion

There's this one song that 808 State came out with that the two DJ's played for this tiny club many, many times, right when it came out. I would love to hear it again, for old times sake since it makes me think of so many old friends and the truly high point of my mispent youth, but I don't know the name...back in those days, people didn't exactly go to the club to get the names of the records, if you know what I mean...;)

[six-gun]

Wow, still no Led, come on people! Greatest (blues) rock band ever?!?!? Come on!!!!!!!!!!!

[fletch-lives]

1. The Weather (Busdriver, Radioinactive & Daedelus) - Pen's Oil: weird, Charlie Brownish sounding hip hop track. This album is wonderfully weird.

2. Beastie Boys - Electric Worm: off the new album which is great but I am not too familiar with it yet. The whole album is incredible!

3. The Southern Belles - Dum Dum Ditty: wow, i heard this on the radio last week. Nice, mid 60's girl group stuff.

4. The Dap-Kings - Got A Thing On My Mind (Instrumental): shite, wish it was the vocal version b/c Sharon Jones tears it up.

5. I Wanna **** Myself - Faith No More: great cover of a GG Allin track.


6. George Vs JC JCs Rant About Food Pornography And Gun Laws 1: wow, forgot I had these. JC was/is an insane caller on Coast To Coast and his calls are gold baby! Though they get a little repetitive at time.


7. Chris Whitley and Jeff Lang - Ravenswood: off a new album. it's ok.

8. Amon Tobin - Always: I love the vocals in this one. Beats too.

9. Leonard Cohen - Lady Midnight: a classic.

10. Acid Mother's Temple - Cosmic Funeral Route 666: 38 minutes of lovely Japanese psychedelic noise.

11. The Challengers - K-39: a track off the Cowabunga Surf box. I don't know the band all that well but its a good track.

12. Thomas Edison Wax Cylinders - Cyclone: ugh, I usually skip past these tracks. Recorded in the late 1800's and they sound like crap.

13. David Banner - X-ed: I dunno, I like David Banner.

14. The Darby Sisters - Go Back To Your Pontiac: see the Southern Belles

15. James Brown and The Louis Bellson Orchestra - September Song: best soul album ever!

16. Radioinactive - Radiator: great labum and the vocals on the track are very cool and choppy.

17. Kool Keith - Sex Style: ah, hip hop porn...

18. M. Fusion - So I Said Yeah: creepy Twin Peaksish type beats with a looped Hitler sample?? Whatever it is, it's a very cool song. Like hip hop from 1943.

19. Neil Hamburger - Christmas - Godfather: One of the funniest comedians out there. The Paril Hilton joke that starts this live set off always gets me.

20. The Mixers - B. Love Hurts: a nice poppy track from one of Grant Morrison's old bands.

eh, that's enough.

[popmatic]

Great Thread!

1. The White Stripes - Forever for Her (Is Over for Me) - Great song! Don't know if I've ever heard it before

2. Richie Havens - Morning, Morning - Ever since I borrowed the "Woodstock" cassette from the library ten years ago, I've loved Richie's voice. This is a great song to boot.

3. Heather Nova - Walk This World - Who? I've never heard this song, or heard of this person before in my life. She's kind of off tune. How did she get on my computer?

4. The Mars Volta - Tetragrammaton - I ****ing LOVE these guys. Amputechture isn't as good as De-Loused in the Crematorium, but this song still kicks major ass.

5. Alkaline Trio - Stupid Kid - Good song by a great band.

6. Ukulele Man - I Love You and You Love Me - I heard Ukulele Man live at "Andyman's Treehouse" here in Columbus, OH. He was so much fun live, I bought his album. Doesn't translate so well. (ahem)

7. Dan Beahm & The Invisible 3 - Half AS Cool As Han Solo - Crazy, another local act...Dan Beahm, however, makes a FANTASTIC studio album, AND he's great live. This song rocks so hard, and totally connects to me on a geek-out level (hey! he's got it on his myspace page! (http://www.myspace.com/danbeahm))

8. Weezer - The Good Life - I ****ing hate Weezer. Why is this here?

9. Johnny Cash - On Piece At A Time - Johnny's cool.

10. Monster Magnet - Bummer - I can't stop listening to their album "Powertrip".

...

Wow. That is a freaking random sampling that looks NOTHING like the music I normall listen to. Only Monster Magnet, The Mars Volta and Alkaline Trio (and Dan Beahm, actually) ever are in any sort of rotation. Wild.

[acomicbookgirl]

After a day or so of uploading songs, I went shuffle happy..

1. Poe - Trigger Happy Jack - Oh my high school days..

2. Eraserheads - Maselang Bahaghari - Philippine rock band that I like a lot.

3. Wax - Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy - Come on, i'm a sucker for cartoon songs and who can go wrong with Ren and Stimpy? ;)

4. Pras - Get Your Groove On - What? I added this?! ugh! I like Blue Angels or Ghetto Superstar

5. The Eagles - Take it Easy - Who can go wrong with The Eagles?

6. Frank Sinatra - All The Way - I get a kick out of Sinatra

7. Rod Stewart - If We Fall in Love Tonight - Not one of my favorite Rod Stewart songs but it is on shuffle..

8. Alanis Morisette - Hand In My Pocket - Not one of my favorite songs but I do like this one.

9. The Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why - Love The Eagles. One of my favorite songs of their's.

10. Vittorio Grigolo - In the Hands of Love - I borrowed this from a co-worker. Hot!

11. Sheryl Crow - My Favorite Mistake - Ay.. Memories.. I think this summarizes one aspect of my life.

12. Guns N' Roses - Back Off B*tch - Who can go wrong with Guns N' Roses?

13. Supremes - Come See About Me - I prefer You Keep Me Hanging On..

14. The Beatles - From Me To You - Its The Beatles, need I say more?

15. Shonen Knife - Top of The World - one of my favorite CD's If I Were A Carpenter, Cover songs of The Carpenters. Superstar is my personal favorite.

[humphrey-lee]

Another session, this time while writing my reviews for the week:

Incubus - "The Warmth" Excellent song off one my alltime fave albums. I really need to listen to this more.
Reel Big Fist - "Hate You" So many great lyrics...
The Suicide Machines - "The Change" Three for three with the awesome. This band rocks my tits off and even though this song is a little more "pedestrian" for them it still rocks so hard.
The Fully Down - "Life in Motion" I honestly haven't even listened to this since I bought it, and I kinda see why. I think it tries too hard to be special or important and fails at it pretty bad.
Radiohead - "You" I love Radiohead, but I really have to be in a certain mood to listen to them, and this really ain't it right now...
Northstar - "Pornographer's Daughter" What the hell? 5000 songs on here and I've heard this two sessions in a row...
Anti-Flag - "The Freaks, Nerds, and Romantics" Ah, punks covering other punks. So much fun...
The Clash - "The Card Cheat"
Brand New - "Jesus Christ" Probably the best song off an album that really disappointed me.
Pipedown - "Transmission" Not a bad little, if somewhat generic punk band. They have their moments, but tried too hard to mimic Anti-Flag.
Bad Religion - "Empty Causes" Nice little "slightly better than average" BR song.
The Casualties - "Static Feedback and Noise" God love in your face, fast and furious punk...
The Misfits - "Attitude" Preach it Glenn, Preach it...
NoFX - "We March to the Beat of an Indifferent Drum"
Lagwagon - "Day of New" I really don't listen to these guys enough...
The Refused - "Deadly Rhythm" God, is there any band that can compare to these guys?
Alkaline Trio - "Old School Reasons" Nice little B-side here. Not terribly different from their released material, but that's probably why its a B-side. Avoid redundancy and all that.
Incubus - "Clean" Double Incubus night. Nice. Though this song is kind of weak compared to the rest of the album methinks.
The Suicide Machines - "So Long"
Bad Religion - "Television" God, I love this band, but honestly, there was something disturbing about Greg's need sing about various appliances at least once or twice an album in the mid-to-late 90's. At least this one has Tim Armstrong though.
The Warriors - "Shadows of Birth" Kinda blah.
NoFX - "The Plan" Random NoFX song.
Gratitude - "Begin Again"
The Bled - "Daylight Bombings" Seriously, the more I hear this album the more I goddamn hate it...
Sugarcult - "Stuck in America" Oh, so perfect right now...

Reviews done, iTunes off!

[mikegraham6]

5. Alkaline Trio - Stupid Kid - Good song by a great band.

It's funny, this exact song came up on my shuffle as number 11 so i didn't include it.
The Alkaline Trio is AWESOME! my favorite band...

[darron]

It's funny, this exact song came up on my shuffle as number 11 so i didn't include it.
The Alkaline Trio is AWESOME! my favorite band...

One of mine, too. I saw 'em live a couple years ago, amazing stuff. I don't think I could pick a favorite album from them...

[humphrey-lee]

One of mine, too. I saw 'em live a couple years ago, amazing stuff. I don't think I could pick a favorite album from them...

I can - "From Here to Infirmary"

All their albums are pretty much good to great, but this is the only one I listen to all the way through. A rare "perfect" album.

[kal]

"Crimson" is my favorite. I must have listened to Mercy Me a million times.

But onto the work day shuffle (with selected commentary).

She Can Only Say No - The Undertones

Running in Circles - The Berlin Project
I love this song. I think I must have listened to it on repeat at least 15 or 20 times in a sitting. It's beautifully constructed, so much so that it tugs at my heart when certain parts of the song kick in. Love it.

Five More Years - The Four Skins
Oi with no energy. Bleh, so not in the mood. Skipped!

Enough - Vigilantes

It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry - Bob Dylan
Rock and roll Dylan. Good times.

Roka - Calexico

Gilgongo - Gringo in the Parlor

Ween - The Mollusk
I'm sure this is smart and funny and witty, but I'm listening hard enough to catch it.

The Specials - Do Nothing

Eagles - The Sad Cafe
Well, this is a little embarassing.

Blackman's Pride - Alton Ellis

Night After Night - The Sounds
The Sounds are the wakeup track on my alarm. Yet, somehow, I still like them in spite of them waking me up far too early every morning.

Stomach Song - Broken Social Scene
I love this album.

These Animal Menswear - Art Brut
Ironically, an art teacher I had turned me on to these British chaps. Probably the coolest teacher I've had in college so far. We'd bullshit about all these bands during class, and honestly, he's the only guy who has consistently kept up with me when I throw out random bands during conversation.

Celebration Guns - Stars
I love this album, too. It was one of those albums I shared with an ex, so it breaks my heart a little whenever I listen to it (this song especially).

Rockaway Beach - The Ramones

Don Giovani - Rancid

Search For Delicious - Panda Bear

Break Myself - Something Corporate

Degausser - Brand New
Big fan of this last album and this song especially.

Zaaa Zaaa Asphalt - Guitar WOlf

Cool it Down - The Velvet Underground
Their self-titled album is still my favorite of theirs.

Grown Up Wrong - The Rolling Stones

Your Arse, My Place - Elastica

Bombs Over Broadway - Squad Five-O
Great, great song.

[kahunablair]

Well I'm bored at work so I figured I'd do a Blair's Shuffle ver 2.0.....

1. If I Could – Jack Johnson – This man is pure gold. The best chill out beach music.
2. Rejazz – Regina Spektor – One of my new found favorites. She has such a weird voice that she uses the heck out. Not my favorite song of hers, but its good.
3. Nasty Girl – Nitty – Stupid little rap/pop song, but it gets me everytime.
4. Jason Lee- All Girl Summer Fun Band – Great, stupid fun song about the “My Name is Earl” lead.
5. Big Rock Candy Mountain – Harry McClintock – This song is from “O Brother Where art thou?” I love both that movie and the soundtrack. I can listen to/watch both all day.
6. Atom Bomb – The Blind Boys of Alabama – These guys are unbelievable. Do an iTunes search and listen to a few tracks, you won’t regret it!
7. Top O’ the Morning to Ya – House of Pain – One of the only good things I got out of Daredevil. Got to love the Irish pride songs!
8. Ben Folds Five – Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head – Love this man, love every song he puts out, even this weird cover.
9. Baby It’s Cold Outside – Leigh Nash and Gabe Dixon – A left over from Winter time, but a great song none the less.
10. When I Get you Alone – Thicke – Underrated song, everyone I’ve played it for has loved it enough to buy the single off of iTunes.
11. Flathead – Fratellis – Kick ass song, best song I ever heard on an Apple commercial
12. The Boobie Poem – Bradley Hathaway – A spoken word artist that shocks me with how honest and brutal his stuff is.
13. Complainte de le Butte – Rufus Wainwright – I know there has been some talk about Rufus, and this song is a favorite of mine, so it’s kind of ironic it popped up. It's from one of my guilty pleasure movies, Moulin Rouge.
14. Download this Song – MC Lars – Great song, commentary on the Record industry from the Nerdcore scene.
15. Life on Mars – Seu Jorge – Awesomely talented musician covering an equally awesome song.

[darron]

"Crimson" is my favorite. I must have listened to Mercy Me a million times.

You and me both, brother. Crimson is probably my favorite as well. Mercy Me and Back to Hell are nearly flawless songs.

(I'll play this shuffle game eventually, I just want all my music in one place before I do)

[fred]

8. Ben Folds Five – Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head – Love this man, love every song he puts out, even this weird cover.

I'm going to butcher the spelling here but have you ever heard his cover of Hava Negila? It's awesome.

[kahunablair]

I'm going to butcher the spelling here but have you ever heard his cover of Hava Negila? It's awesome.

Have it, love it. Ever here his Champagne Supernova? He does it up like a country song. Great stuff.

[fred]

I haven't heard that. I will try to find it

[kwok_talk]

Haha. Speak of the Ben Folds covers, here was my next shuffle.

[drwally]

1. Kiki and Herb are unto gods
2. SF does have some cool cabaretesque goodness - one of my fave nights of 2006 was seeing Prince's Purple Rain by Ukeapocolypse - amazing
3. Don't worry - there's mucho love for Suede - I was obsessed with them from 1993 - 1996 - and still listen to them constantly - but Morrissey is and will always be king

Kiki and Herb - Hard to believe now I knew Justin (Kiki) way back when he was just...Justin, from about 1989 until he moved to NYC. Have you seen Connie Champagne? Another great SF performer. Does the "Imagine Judy Garland" show these days. Sad to think how many mutual friends we lost in '96.

Suede - Me obscessed in '97-'98, on the walkman everynight I went out. 1991, just after sunset, the beach at Kamakura, "Strangeways Here We Come." Dancing down the beach by myself in the dark, very wonderful. Any man that sings in the same key and register as a clarinet has my heart.

Wow, I just hit pop shuffle, and some of the few women in my collection popped up this time -

Sabishii Yousei - Minami Sayuri - Enjoy Showa 40s (Fantastic collection of Japanese pop hits from 1965-1975, this one is one of my favorites, a pop-folk style ballad) "How many letters must I write you before we meet I wonder, how many tears must I shed before these thoughts reach you..." (that's a translation, actually has a really catchy melody)
Don't Take That Black Bottom Away - Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys - Janet Klein's Scandals - Great contemporary band out of LA that does Hot Jazz and pop tunes from the 20s and 30s. Cute girl, lots of old guys on all kinds of string instruments and horns, sounds kind of like early Hollywood Hot Jazz goes Blue Grass. The album "Janet Klein's Scandals" highly recommended. LOTS of ukulele.
Is there Anything Wrong With That? - Helen Kane (Betty Boop was modeled on this performer, the original "Boop-Boop-a-Doop-Girl")
St. James Infirmiry Blues - Cab Calloway - Cab Calloway 1930-31 (Does this need explanation?)
Thank Your Father - Fred Waring and His Orchestra (Helen Kane also covered this Hot Jazz hit from the late 20s early 30s).
Dance Macabre - Franz Waxman - Bride of Frankenstein Soundtrack (Wonderful soundtrack, just like the film)
Exactly Like You - Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys
Matinee Idol - Rufu Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright (My party shuffle seems to have hit upon a theme here...)
Rather Hazy - Macy Gray - On How Life Is - Oh, gotta have Macy...Gotta have a Macy Gray moment to myself...
Robbie D. - Opera - Fertile Boy - Robbie came out of the same circle of people that Justin (of Kiki and Herb fame) did. Great house parties in those days. Robbie is now in LA. This album has a great tribute to Wonder Woman (as in Linda Carter) on it -- a song called Paradise Island.
Sex Dwarf - Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret - "They all love your minature ways, you know what they say about small men..." I've always been more partial to "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" on this album.

[drwally]

How can I not take this oppotunity, with mention of Kiki and Herb, to dedicate a clip to everyone's favorite Fred - Kiki on animals, and ...Nirvana.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wi1iGX1At4

[fred]

thanks for the dedication. that clip certainly reminded me of me

[drwally]

thanks for the dedication. that clip certainly reminded me of me

It was the Nirvana that made me do it... Nobody covers Nirvana like Kiki.

[mithel]

'Weird' Al Yankovic - Frank's 2000" TV

The greatest song ever written about a gigantic television. "I'm mighty proud to say/Now I can watch The Simpsons from 30 blocks away."

The Arrogant Worms - Johnny Came Home Headless

A jaunty tune about an absentminded gentleman who loses his head. "Still he didn't notice that his head weren't there/Until he took out a comb and tried to comb his hair"


The Beach Boys - I Can Hear Music

Their most underrated tune.


Orgy - You Spin Me Right Round

Like a RECORD, baby!.

Great Big Sea - Helmethead

An amorous hockey player in the AHL skates from bed to bed while doling out his particularly violent brand of ice play.


The Decemberists - From My Own True Love(Lost at Sea)

Not their best, but not as bad as some say.

The Rascals - Good Lovin'

"I was feeling so bad/I ask my family doctor just what I had."

Hint: It wasn't the clap.

Paper Lace - The Night Chicago Died

It hurts my ears so good. "I HEARD MY MOMMA CRY!/I HEARD HER PRAY THE NIGHT CHICAGO DIIIIIIED!"

Micheal Jackson - Bad

I wonder, which of MJ's song titles is the most ironic given his recent legal troubles? My vote is for 'Smooth Criminal'

The Beatles - The Night Before

Help! was their best album. Period.

---

I like this topic. More later, probably.

Oh Valencia always conjured up images of foppish gangsters in a steam punk style alternate future. And their dressed like 18th century French noblemen. Except in California. With compressed steam repeater pistols.

I'm weird.

Moving on...


'Weird' Al Yankovic - Do I Creep You Out?

From his latest and greatest album, Straight Outta Lynwood.

Vicki Lawrence - The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia

Little known fact: Cher turned down this song before it went on to be a number one for Vicki.

Gary Jules - Mad World

You saw that Gears of War commercial too, huh?

The Beatles - Baby You Can Drive My Car

My general attitude toward cars in general. I exist to be driven, not to drive.

Great Big Sea - Yarmouth Town

A randy inn keepers daughter seduces a sailor, all set to a jaunty tune. Most excellent.

[idave]

When I listen to O Valencia I think of Romeo and Juliet not some weird futuristic thing like you do

[paper]

It's all open to interpretation.

Steam Punk is very, very cool.

[racemccloud]

1. The Real Slim Shady -Eminem
I love Eminem's radio singles, but not the rest of his songs. This is the best one.

2. Everybody Ought to Have a Maid
A very funny song from the revival cast of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". The joys of having a pretty young thing to clean up around the house... and other places.

3. Will and Elizabeth
Instrumental track from Pirates of the Carribean. Not my favorite one; that would be "He's a Pirate"

4. I Need to Write - J.Ivey
Def Poetry Jam. J.Ivey is a very talented poet. If you can find him performing any of his work on YouTube or online anywhere... highly recommended.

5. A Challenge
Instrumental track from Baz Lurhman's "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet". This is from the Vol. 2 soundtrack, so much better then the Vol. 1. Vol. 2 is the fantastic score from the film itself, a film I love but a lot of people hate.

6. I'll Sue Ya - Weird Al
I sued Ben Affleck... aw, c'mon, do I need a reason? (A cheap shot at an actor I like a lot, but still very funny. Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo. And he's great in all the View Askew films and commentary tracks.)

7. Les Poissons
The crazy French chef from "The Little Mermaid" strikes again!

8. The Bells of Notre Dame
An underappreciated (at least in America) piece of Disney animation, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is a beautiful film with as epic an original score as you'll ever find in a cartoon. This opening number in particular is magnificent.

9. Wonderbar
From the Brian Stokes Mitchell cast recording of "Kiss Me Kate". Classic Cole Porter, but not my favorite. If you can track down Brian Stokes Mitchell singing "The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha"... on Broadway, this was one of the few times I ever fully appreciated the expression "showstopper", as the show stopped for a good three minutes so people could applaud the man's performance of that song.

10. Boom Shakalaka - Apache Indian
The only reggae song I own, this is the song that plays over the opening credits of "Dumb and Dumber" that, mysteriously, isn't on the "Dumb and Dumber" soundtrack. Awesome song.

11. Opie & Anthony - Spaz's week in review
From the golden days of ONA on WNEW in the afternoons in NY. Spaz, their dumbass intern Spaz, was given a week-in-review segment where he made mincement of all the latest news. Guest Jay Mohr rips Spaz a new one as he discusses what matter and anti-matter are, and that infinity is actually a finite concept.

12. Silent Night- Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi covers Silent Night. Nuff said.

13. Green Eggs and Ham
The curtain call number from "Seussical: The Musical". Basically the text of the book set to swing music. Great dance number.

14. Forgiven - Alanis Morrisette
Not my favorite track on "Jagged Little Pill", which is probably one of the top ten rock albums of all time.

15. Back at Work
A brief musical and dialogue interlude from the amazing Sutton Foster and the cast of "Thoroughly Modern Millie".

16. Hit Me Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
I wish I could say it were the Bowling for Soup or Travis version, both of which I also have, but it's not, and you know what? It's still a pretty good song.

17. I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man) - Kenny Loggins
One of Kenny's OTHER songs from the "Footloose" soundtrack. Not as good as the title track, which is now stuck in all of your heads.

18. Tenderly - Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem
The Muppet rock band, with Animal on drums, Zoot the blue sax player, Dr. Teeth the lead singer, Janice the rhythm guitar player, and my favorite, Floyd, the bass player, who is pink. Think about it.

19. Let's Get It Started (Instrumental) - Black Eyed Peas
Needed the instrumental version of this for a version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that I directed with the fairies being portrayed as hip hop artists and rappers, with all of their long sections of verse placed over background tracks and rapped. Shakespeare is rolling over in his grave yet again.

20. Long Live Rock and Roll - Steel Dragon
From the movie "Rockstar". Steel Dragon RULES!

21. Do the Bartman - Bart Simpson
Remember "The Simpsons Sing the Blues"? Well, it was as horrible as you think it was. Here's proof!

22. Call and Answer - Barenaked Ladies
Best... band... ever.

23. You Rule My World (Reprise)
This is from the Original Broadway Cast recording of "The Full Monty", a fantastic musical based on the fantastic film. A lot of great songs here. This and the musical version of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" are by the same composer (whose name escapes me) and are both fantastic.

I think twenty-three is enough. Whew!

Ignore the Kenny G...please?

[labor_days]

Oh, I was just listening to some Buck 65 earlier today. "In Every Dream House There Is Heartache", specifically. Which got me in the mood for some vintage Roxy Music. So, I've been listening to Bryan Ferry for most of the day.

[snooganshooligan]

1) Red Hot Chili Peppers - "By The Way"
I loved the music video for this, my friend made a mix CD and this was on there, it's not my favorite RHCP song but it's up there

2) Cake - "End of the Movie"
Cake is in my top five favorite bands, it's a very short and quiet song which makes it so appealing to me for some reason. I always wanted to write songs like them, because their catchy lyrics but can be hard to understand.

3) The Phenomenauts - "I Am Robot"
Currently my favorite song because I'm really big into robots and The Phenomenauts

4) KoRn - "Lies"
I've never actually listened to this song, it's not bad, but there are better KoRn songs out of there

5) Hepcat - "Nigel"
Hepcat is a good ska band, I should listen to them more

6) Reel Big Fish - "Boy's Don't Cry (Cover - Live)"
This live album is a great one, also very funny, not to mention a decent cover of a song I've never herd covered before.

7) Slipknot - "Spit It Out"
I'm not a huge Slipknot fan anymore, and this CD reminds me of my first girlfriend cause she gave it to me, I don't listen to it much anymore

8) The Misfits - "The Haunting"
I like Michael Graves as a singer, different then Danzig, but he has his own good qualities. But still, Danzig is cool, in the "make the walls rain blood" way

9) Hellogoodbye - "Stuck to You"
I just got this CD, so I haven't listened to this song before, I like it.

10) Dangerdoom - "Sofaking"
This song has one of my favorite Aqua Teen quotes, and I'm not a big fan of rap, but this song is good.

11) Guttermouth - "I'm Destroying The World"
Guttermouth is so goofy, I love it. This song makes me want to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater though

12) Billy Idol - "Rebel Yell"
I dunno, it's just a good song

13) Talking Heads - "(Nothing But) Flowers"
From the Clerks II soundtrack, great song I'd say for any opening to a movie

14) Treephort - "Why Do Fat Kids Like Metallica?"
Treephort is such a crazy band, thats all I have to say

15) Smashing Pumpkins - "Zero"
classic Smashing Pumpkins

16) MC Chris - "Booties For Breakfast"
MC Chris is great, a nice guy and Dungeon Master of Ceremonies is a great CD

17) Kid Koala - "Like Irregular Chickens"
Not a big fan of turntable/DJ music, but Kid Koala is an accpetion, not to mention he wrote and drew a 40 or 50 page book and made a CD to go with it

18) Stray Cats - "Stray Cat Strut"
I got nothin

19) They Might Be Giants - "The Spine"
They Might Be Giants I really like, they always have some really interesting songs

20) Mötley Crüe - "Shout At The Devil"
What can I say, I love this song because of Guitar Hero

[esophagus]

Oh, I was just listening to some Buck 65 earlier today. "In Every Dream House There Is Heartache", specifically. Which got me in the mood for some vintage Roxy Music. So, I've been listening to Bryan Ferry for most of the day.I just found the Roxy Music t-shirt I had made last year, and have been listening to them since.
