What’s on your list for today?

Well lets see what pops up on the ol’ Friday 10 random songs the week before finals:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Bloc Party – Intimacy: “Flux.”  Silent Alarm > Intimacy > . . . > Weekend In the City, or something like that.
6. Live – Throwing Copper: “Selling the Drama.”  Live must be good live.  Its self defining, or well I think you know.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. The Academy Is… – Almost Here: “Classifieds.”  I’m not sure if they’ve dropped the “…” yet.  They need to get on that.
10. 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.
