- Cover of Almost Here
Well lets see what pops up on the ol’ Friday 10 random songs the week before finals:
- Hot Lava – 2009 Bar/None Records Sampler: “Apple+Option+Fire.” I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever listened to this song. Seems a bit above average, I’d give it another listen. Labels must put the best songs on a sampler, or something like that.
- Weezer – Weezer (Blue Album): “My Name Is Jonas.” Guitar Hero greatly increased my enjoyment of this song. Not that I ever didn’t like the song, but I am predisposed to like Guitar Hero songs. Must be good marketing or something like that. See Rise Against: “Prayer of the Refugee” which became my favorite RA song after playing the game.
- Taylor Swift – Taylor Swift: “The Outside.” Damn it. Getting back to my “roots” I guess, or something like that. Taylor Swift is hilarious for an under aged female country singer so I guess that is a plus.
- Incubus – Morning View: “Circles.” I wouldn’t mind if Incubus would pop up more frequently, I also wouldn’t mind a new album. Are they still together? I should pay more attention.
- Bloc Party – Intimacy: “Flux.” Silent Alarm > Intimacy > . . . > Weekend In the City, or something like that.
- Live – Throwing Copper: “Selling the Drama.” Live must be good live. Its self defining, or well I think you know.
- Finch – What It Is to Burn: “New Beginnings.” I wish Finch wouldn’t have broken up so early in their career, I spend a lot of time rocking out to this album.
- Kenny Chesney – Be as You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair): “Old Blue Chair.” The title track isn’t the best song on this album. I’m not sure Chesney owns any shirts with sleeves.
- The Academy Is… – Almost Here: “Classifieds.” I’m not sure if they’ve dropped the “…” yet. They need to get on that.
- John Mellencamp – The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988: “Cherry Bomb.” Is that really the best John Cougar could do? Good song to end the list.
What’s on your list today?
