    Friday 10: June Madness 

    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?

    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 PeaceHappiness 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?

    Friday 10: Short Week Edition 

    [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.]

    I had a short week, working essentially Wednesday through Friday, we’ll see if my list reflects my week.  Here is my ten for Friday, February 20th 2009, hopefully Hanson won’t rear their ugly mugs again:

    1. Sum 41: Underclass Hero – “So Long Goodbye”
    2. Dashboard Confessional: The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most – “Again I Go Unnoticed”
    3. Green Day: Warning – “Blood, Sex and Booze”
    4. She Wants Revenge: This Is Forever – “Rachael”
    5. The Bravery: The Sun and the Moon [Sun Edition] – “Believe
    6. Matchbook Romance: Voices – “Monsters”
    7. Third Eye Blind: Blue – “An Ode to Maybe”
    8. Dynamite Boy: Punk Goes Pop – “I Want It That Way”
    9. The Beatles: Abbey Road – “Here Comes the Sun”
    10. Cold War Kids: Loyalty to Loyalty – “I’ve Seen Enough”

    Hey a good list this week.  Although any rendition of “I Want It That Way” is inherently terrible, but “I’ve Seen Enough” and “Rachael” are some of my current favorites and a lot of the other songs are ones I’ve listened to quite frequently.  I’d say this list is a pretty fair representation of what types of music I was listening to on this short week.

    What’s on your list for today?

      It splits the difference between freak folk and stoner rock. I bought it (cheap–used) in particular because the band name cracked me up. I ended up enjoying a lot of the music.
