    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.

    2. Led Zeppelin – In Through The Out Door: “Fool In The Rain”
    3. The Walkmen – Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me is Gone: “Wake Up”
    4. The Strokes – Room on Fire: “Reptilia”
    5. Franz Ferdinand – Franz Ferdinand: “Take Me Out”
    6. The Bravery – The Bravery: “No Brakes”

      Giving the Sountracks genre a whirl again…

      "Reflections of Earth" – Disney, Walt Disney World Millenium Celebration

      "Creation of Tron" – Wendy Carlos, Tron

      "The Prophecy" – Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring

      "The Unsung War" – Keiko Kobayashi, ACE COMBAT 5: The Unsung War

      "Vespertillo" – Hans Zimmer, Batman Begins

      "Love's Dream" – Rick Wakeman, Lisztomania

      "Kaonashi (No Face)" – Joe Hisaishi, Spirited Away

      "Kids Return" – Joe Hisaishi, Kids Return

      "Dream" – Brad Mehldau, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

      "National Treasure Suite" – Trevor Rabin, National Treasure

      trivia: Many don't realize this, but since video games can earn as much as (or more than) a mainstream movie, many of their soundtracks are as outstanding as their movie counterparts.

      "The Prophecy" – Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring:
      I need to pick up the LOTR Soundtracks. We played some of the songs in band back in the day and it was awesome.

      I have an unhealthy love of the Offspring. I know they have passed their prime (probably a while ago) and almost all their stuff sounds almost the same, but dammit, theirs was the first CD I owned and the album that got me into the rock/alternative genre that still dominates my playlists. That's my explanation for my completist approach to the Offspring discography. Unsurprisingly given all that – I like 'Million Miles Away'.

      Peephole – System of a Down – (self-titled)
      You Make Me Feel Like a Whore – Everclear – Sparkle and Fade
      Over and Out – Foo Fighters – In Your Honor
      I’m Designer – Queens of the Stone Age – Era Vulgaris
      South Bound Saurez – Led Zeppelin – In Through the Out Door
      Till the Morning Comes – Neil Young – After the Gold Rush
      Shame – System of a Down & Wu-Tang Clan – Loud Rocks
      No. 13 Baby – Pixies – Doolittle
      Good Times, Bad Times – Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin I
      Far Pavilions – … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – The Century of Self

      And I've got a couple Zeppelin tracks to tie in with yours.

        Nice.

        I still listen to Americana all the way through a couple of times a month. They're definitely past their prime, but am a sucker for whatever they produce.

    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?

      Fantastic mix you've got there.

      You put a lot of links to last.fm there. Are you a member?

      • yickit 3:07 pm on June 25, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        I am a member. My page is here, although I tend to prefer Pandora because of the widows desktop gadget and the blackberry application.

        Which ever makes the jump to the xbox360 first will probably be my go to.

      • yickit 3:20 pm on June 25, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        I use links to last.fm because its easier to get the actual song linked, and I have a Firefox plug in that suggests links, including linking song titles to their last.fm page.

        But I actually use Pandora much more.
