    Random 10: November Rain 

    I’ll be at a hearing at a DC court almost all day, but here is my random songs for Friday, November “The 13th” 2009:

    1. Bowling for Soup – A Hangover You Don’t Deserve: “A-Hole”

    2. The Killers – Sawdust: “Sweet Talk”

    3. Jeff Tweedy – Sunken Treasure: “Family Gardener”

    4. Wilco – A Ghost Is Born: “At Least That’s What You Said”

    5. The Hold Steady – Live @ Virgin FreeFest: “Navy Sheets”

    6. Elvis Presley – Elvis vs JXL: “A Little Less Conversation”

    7. Aerosmith – Big Ones: “Livin’ on the Edge”

    8. The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits: “Today”

    9. The Hold steady – Live @ West End Cultural Centre Winnipeg: “Cheyenne Sunrise”

    10. Oasis – Don’t Believe the Truth: “Turn Up the Sun”

    This list just kept going.  Besides the Aerosmith and Oasis, these are all songs that I regularly listen to in my collection.  Thanks to Andrew [go Bulldogs!] who directed me to the Jeff Tweedy/Wilco EPs that are available online.

    Do you like The Hold Steady or Liffter Puller?  Then you need to go to their Live Taped Shows archive, which is where their live cuts on this list originated.
    Finally, I’m going to end with two Pumpkins songs: “Today” and “Tonight, Tonight.”  The “Tonight, Tonight” single cassette tape might be the first actual commercially produced cassette tape I ever owned:

    Today [Listen on posterous]

    Tonight, Tonight [Listen on posterous]

    Friday 10: FTown or Bust 

    I’ve been in Fargo all week. This trip to Fargo may be my longest stay in 4 years, and may well shape up to be the longest I’ll be here for quite some time. I better get my fill of Juano’s, Mexican Village, and Santa Lucia while I’m here. I can’t believe people go to FIVE Applebee’s in town instead of all the great independent restaurants in the area. Here’s my random ten songs for today:

    1. No Use for a Name – More Betterness!: “Let It Slide”
    2. Tim McGraw – Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: “She’s My Kind of Rain”
    3. Aerosmith – Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits: “Dream On”
    4. Bloc Party – A Weekend in the City: “Hunting for Witches”
    5. Saves the Day – Can’t Slow Down: “Collision”
    6. The Killers – Sawdust: “Where they White Boys Dance”
    7. Better Than Ezra – Greatest Hits: “King of New Orleans”
    8. Saves the Day – Through Being Cool: “The Last Lie I Told”
    9. Avril Lavigne – Under My Skin: “Nobody’s Home”
    10. Hawthorne Heights – The Silence in Black and White: “Silver Bullet”

    I find it funny that No Use for a Name has a five word name.  They should have gone with ___ instead.

    Bloc Party’s “Hunting for Witches” is probably the reason I don’t regret picking up A Weekend in the City.  I wish more of the songs on this album would have lived up to my expectations, even if those expectations may have been a bit high.  I know I said the hierarchy of Bloc Party albums goes something like: Silent Alarm > Intimacy > A Weekend in the City, but after listening to AWitC again, I may move it to the middle, or at least equal to Intimacy.  Sadly, neither album approaches Silent Alarm’s stratosphere.

    “Take me to the place to where the white boys dance. Take me to the place where they run and play.”  Anybody have any idea where the Killers are looking for?  My money is on Reggie Bush for King of New Orleans. Orleans doesn’t have a king, but they may have a Duke or maybe an Earl.

    I’m not sure I’ve listened to any other album1 more than Through Being Cool.  I still listen to it frequently all the way through.

    Nobody rhymes “boy” with “boi” like Avril. Ugh.  Hopefully Hawthorne Heights will erase any memories of Avril popping up on this list.  Well that’s what came up on my random list for Friday May 22, 2009.

    What came up on your list today?

    1. This is a lie.  I probably have listened to all of Garth Brooks’ early albums more, but that was from my childhood cassette era.  Through Being Cool is from my CD era. ↩

    Friday 10 – Easter Weekend 

    Hope every one has a happy and safe holiday weekend.  Here’s my 10 random songs for April 10th 2009:

    1. Cold War Kids – Loyalty to Loyalty: “I’ve Seen Enough”
    2. Our Lady Peace – Happiness Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch: “One Man Army”
    3. Aerosmith – O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits Disc 2: “Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)”
    4. Hellogoodbye – Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!: “Oh, It Is Love”
    5. Lit – Atomic: “Drop D”
    6. Our Lady Peace – Clumsy: “Shaking”
    7. No Use for a Name – Hard Rock Bottom: “Friends of the Enemy”
    8. Dierks Bentley – Long Trip Alone: “The Heaven I’m Headed To”
    9. Coldplay – X&Y: “Track 14”
    10. Bowling For Soup – Drunk Enough to Dance: “Life After Lisa”
    11. Bonus Song because it just fits in: Simple Plan – No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls: “Meet You There”

    I’ve seen Hellogoodbye live once, where they opened for Motion City Soundrack at Drake.  MCS was great, but Hellogoodbye had one of the weirdest sets I’ve ever seen.  I almost stopped listening to them after that.  Cold Wars Kids’ last two albums are some of my favorites right now.  I just can’t stop listening to them. Man this list is turning out well so far: Lit and No Use for a Name popped up.  “Friends of the Enemy” might be one of the greatest running songs ever written; the mood and tempo are perfect.  Dierks decides to shake things up with some twang, and its probably the closest to religious subject matter that this list will get too.

    This list gets the yickit seal of approval.  The only song I don’t really listen too on this list is the Aerosmith, and even that song isn’t too shabby.

    I also recently acquired three new albums:

    1. The Libertines – Time For Heroes
    2. Less Than Jake – Pezcore [10 Year Special Edition]
    3. Modest Mouse – The Lonesome Crowded West

    I’m digging all three so far.  What’s on your list today?

      Pezcore is an awesome album. I can't believe it's 10 years old already.

        Me either. I'm really loving relearning the album right now.
