10. Coldplay – LeftRightLeftRightLeft: “42”

It seems like this is the only type of post I ever have time to do anymore.  But because of time commitments it will have to do for now.  I like the Killers and “When You Were Young” is my second favorite Guitar Hero song to play after Rise Against’s “Prayer of the Refugee”.  I wish “Girl’s Not Grey” was on the Guitar Hero games that I own.  I’m going to have to look into what AFI songs are available besides “Miss Murder”.

Throwing Copper is a terrific album, and the The Vines were not the second coming of the Beatles but were also not the second coming of The Sundown Playboys either.  Two country songs made the cut this week too.  The first concert I ever went to was Alabama at the Red River Valley Fair in Fargo, ND.  It was awesome even before the laser light show after their set.

What’s on your list for today?

The only heating available is from the cabin’s fireplace which should be fun.  We’ll be staying at a place called Lost River State Park.  If the rain stays away it should it should be a great weekend to be outdoors; and even if it doesn’t stay away, we’ll get a lot of reading done and have plenty of time to play some games.

I was in NYC last weekend and it was hard to imagine what the Financial District was like before 9/11/01.  I was in class at the time and we just happened to be watching CNN at the time.  Hard to imagine that eight years have already gone by.

Cover of Origin of Symmetry

This is late this week because I’m working down in Fredericksburg and forgot to write this up ahead of time.  Here is my 10 random songs for August, 7th 2009:

1. Cascada – Everytime We Touch: “Everytime We Touch”
2. Mat Kearney – Nothing Left To Lose: “All I Need”
3. New Found Glory – From the Screen to Your Stereo: “My Heart Will Go On”

9. Muse – Showbiz: “Falling Down”
10. John Mellencamp – The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988: “I Need A Lover”

Like the Twins this year, this list is a middling .500 record.  I’ll stand behind, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9.  What’s on your list for today?

It always seems that the end of July coincides with the end of summer, even though there is little different between July and August.  I guess we ought to just celebrate the remnants of summer.  With that in mind, here are 10 random songs for July, 31st 2009:

1. Kings of Leon – Only by the Night: “Use Somebody”
2. Franz Ferdinand – You Could Have It So Much Better: “What You Meant”
3. The Starting Line – Direction: “Birds”
4. Green Day – Warning: “Church on Sunday”
5. Thursday – Full Collapse: “Cross Out the Eyes”
6. Thursday – War All the Time: “Division St.”
7. Dave Matthews – Some Devil: “Some Devil”
8. Steve Miller Band – Steve Miller Band Live!: “Abracadabra”
9. Guster – Parachute: “Scars & Stitches”
10. OK Go – Oh No: “Here It Goes Again”

Warning is easily the Green Day album I’ve listen to most.  That cd didn’t come out of my car player for weeks.  “Cross Out the Eyes” is probably my favorite Thursday song, at least that I can think of off hand.  I need to revisit their albums still this summer.  Lo and behold, another Thursday song pops up next, funny how that works.  I’m not much of a Dave Matthews fan, but the music has its time and place I guess.  For some reason I much prefer Guster to DMB, but who knows why.

I think this list fits summer pretty well.  What’s on your list today?

Because its fun, here’s my random 10 songs for July 24, 2009:

1. Alabama – For the Record Number 1 Hits: “High Cotton”
2. The Hold Steady – Boys and Girls in America: “Same Kooks”
3. Booker T. – Anti Sampler 2009: “Warped Sister”
4. Cold War Kids – Robbers and Cowards: “Rubidoux”
5. Mason Jennings –  Century Spring: “Adrian”
6. Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I am, That’s What I’m Not : “When The Sun Goes Down”
7. A New Found Glory – New Found Glory: “All About Her”
8. The Beatles – Rubber Soul: “Wait”
9. The Smashing Pumpkins – Zeitgeist: “Bleeding the Orchid”
10. Lynyrd Skynyrd – Gold and Platinum: “Sweet Home Alabama”
