    2.  Barenaked Ladies – Stunt: “It’s All Been Done”
    3.  Hoobastank – The Reason: “The Reason”
    4.  O.A.R. – Any Time Now: “Black Rock”
    5.  Fall Out Boy – Take This to Your Grave: “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy”
    6.  Guster – Parachute: “Window”
    7.  The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits: “Disarm”

        Theres been a lot of that going around. I’m going to have to listen to some Nirvana and Pumpkins back to back. FTLT have peeked my interest in that particular debate.

    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]

    Gloomy October in DC 

    The weather here in DC this week has not been great. The sky has been overcast, and its been raining for what seems like days on end. But then again its been snowing in Fargo and much of the midwest already this year, so I shouldn’t complain. Speaking of Fargo, I guess The Hold Steady will be playing the Fargo Theater this weekend. Seriously. Great concert at an interesting venue for the low low price of $16. If you’re in Fargo you have no excuse not to go to this show. It’s not like you can enjoy the nice fall weather anymore.

    Man, I wish The Hold Steady would come and play in DC. Crap. I was just checking out their show schedule and they played the 930 Club in August, how did I miss that? Oh well, I’ll catch them next time they’re coming through. Here is my random 10 for Friday October, 16th 2009:

    1. Saves the Day – Can’t Slow Down: “Collision”
    2. Angels & Airwaves – We Don’t Need to Whisper: “Good Day”
    3. Jet – Get Born: “Radio Song”
    4. The Starting Line – Direction: “Are You Alone”
    5. Bowling for Soup – Bowling for Soup Goes to the Movies: “I Melt with You”
    6. Something Corporate – Leave Through the Window: “I Want to Save You”
    7. The Libertines – The best Of: A Time for Heroes: “Tell the King”
    8. Bowling for Soup – A Hangover You Don’t Deserve: “Trucker Hat”
    9. The Strokes – Is This It: “Is This It”
    10. The Goo Goo Dolls – Hold Me Up: “Kevin’s Song”

      I installed the Zemanta plugin you told me about. It looks like it will take some getting used to. It's not too compatible with my neruotic blogging habits.

      I pretty much only use for Random 10 posts. I like how the images look, but the plugin can be a pain to use.

        Zeitgeist is okay. If your into completing collections, I'd pick it up on amazon when its on sale. Its not mind blowing but worth listening to.
