1. The Vines – Highly Evolved: “Autumn Shade”
2. The Killers – Sam’s Town: “When You Were Young”
3. AFI – Sing the Sorrow: “Girl’s Not Grey”
4. blink-182 – Dude Ranch: “Emo”
5. Our Lady Peace – Gravity: “A Story About A Girl”
6. The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: “Bodies”
7. Alabama – For the Record: “Fallin’ Again”
8. Sugarland – Twice the Speed of Life: “Something More”
9. Live – Throwing Copper: “Stage”
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?

Its a hot June here in DC, here’s my list for June 26th 2009:

1. Cold War Kids – Robbers And Cowards: “Red Wine, Success!”
2. Band of Horses – The OC Mix 6: “The End’s Not Near”
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers – By the Way: “Can’t Stop”
4. The Strokes – Is This It: “Barely Legal”
5. Cold War Kids – Loyalty To Loyalty: “Mexican Dogs”
6. Blink 182 – Blink 182: “Down”
7. Spoon – Gimme Fiction: “I Summon You”
8. The White Stripes – Get Behind Me Satan: “The Denial Twist”
9. Box Car Racer – Box Car Racer: “There Is”
10. Yellowcard – Paper Walls: “Shrink The World”

A Blink/BCR and Cold War Kids heavy mix.  I’m certainly not complaining about the Pop/Punk Rock feel of this week’s list, although I’m wondering where that OC soundtrack came from because I’m 100% certain that I’ve never seen the show.

What’s on your list this week?

[Note: I’m sure you’ve already seen these lists going around the interwebs, so obviously this isn’t an original idea. But I still like the idea of posting ten random songs from your chosen music library. The rules are simple: Play your entire library of songs on random, and record the first ten that come up. No matter what 10 songs appear, post them.]

Here is my ten for Friday, February 13th, 2009:

1. A Static Lullaby: …And Don’t Forget to Breathe – “Nightmares Win 6-0″
2. Guster: Keep It Together – “Come Downstairs And Say Hello”
3. Modest Mouse: Good News for People Who Love Bad News – “Bukowski”
4. Garth Brooks: Sevens – “Two Pina Coladas”
5. Yellowcard: Lights and Sounds – “Rough Landing, Holly”
6. Unwritten Law: Here’s to the Mourning – “Because of You”
7. Hanson: Middle of Nowhere – “Lucy”
8. blink-182: Greatest Hits – “All the Small Things“
9. Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon – “Brain Damage”
10. Something Corporate: North – “Ruthless”

Crap I jinxed myself. Here’s what I said last week:

To be honest, I’m pretty happy with this list: MMMM Bop isn’t on there.

Damn Hanson. I knew that after mentioning MMMM Bop that one of their songs might pop up this week. I’m not even going to go into why I have that album on my computer besides to say that playing Hanson over and over again is a sure fire way to piss of your neighbors/roommates. Other than the Hanson travesty, I like the variance of this week’s list. I still remember the first time I heard Something Corporate. It happened to be live at a Summer festival and I was impressed how good they were live.

I’m surprised I haven’t more country and old music on these lists yet, but if I had to pick someone representative of that group, Garth Brooks would be my choice. If you didn’t see him perform during the HBO’s Pre-Inauguration Concert, you missed out.
