Mr. Broom, would you mind sharing that Bishop Allen cover? I love them. "Little Black Ache" is one of my favorite songs ever.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
I got the track from You Ain't No Picasso, one of the better music blogs out there, I think. He's obsesssed with them (point of fact, the blog's named after an unreleased song of theirs.) Article's here: [link]

Thank you!
I highly recommend the rest of you visit that link and grab at least "Little Black Ache." Seriously. It's such a "happy to be miserable" song.

I want to play.
All weekend I have been shuffling through a smartlist that only contains songs that have a playcount of 10 or higher and no other criteria. (I wanted a long mix that I knew I could sing along to while I was unpacking.) I started playing it Friday night and at 7 p.m. on Sunday night I have gotten through... 374 of 848 songs!
The last ten:
"Tainted Obligation" - REM
"3 Inch Horses, Two Faced Monsters" - Modest Mouse
"O Death" - Camper Van Beethoven
"Dancing with the Women at the Bar" - Whiskeytown
"Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away" - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
"The Bones of an Idol" - New Pornographers
"Oceanographer's Choice" - The Mountain Goats
"Whitewater" - Bela Fleck
"Silver Plate Complaints" - Centro-Matic
"Twist the Knife" - Neko Case

mississippi - bob dylan
pot kettle black - wilco
jezebel - iron & wine
billy liar - the decemberists
sunshine - split lip
true love will find you in the end - beck
I wanna be your dog - uncle tupelo
you've got to hide your love away - eddie vedder (that was three covers in a row. craxy.)

OK. I'll stop. For tonight anway.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I want to play.
Me too! But I'm at work. On a Sunday night. I'm not happy about this.
tina, I want to tell you that you've dragged me back into the indie music scene again after I'd wandered off for several years. My entire recent buying spree was all tina-driven.

Silence means security silence means approval
"Tainted Obligation" - REM
I can't believe I'd ever say this about an REM song, but I've never heard it. Which album/bootleg is this on?

Boo! I kick your job.

Aww, shucks. (on edit: that looks sarcastic written out but that isn't how I mean it) Well the past few years of my music buying has been very influenced by the posters of this thread, so it's a big musicista circle of love and tune-junkieness.
I can't believe I'd ever say this about an REM song, but I've never heard it. Which album/bootleg is this on?
It's from a German bootleg I picked up eons ago called Funtime, Live Rarities, R.E.M. through the U.S. Years 84-91. That track is a poorly recorded demo from 1984 but it is amazingly gorgeous and I put it on lots of mixes. That and a CD-quality version of "Academy Fight Song" were totally worth the price of the CD (which I remember being kind of steep).
OK. I got through 453 of 848 songs on my playlist this weekend. Here are the last dozen:
division day - elliott smith
most of the time - bob dylan
2:45 am (live) - elliott smith
a cautionary song - the decemberists
all mixed up - red house painters
the golden age - beck
stove by a whale - ted leo
such great heights - iron & wine
around and around - mark kozelek
I am a scientist - guided by voices (clearly, a music thread ipod fave)
per second second - the wrens
do you realize - the flaming lips
I think my iPod might be a little depressed.

Little mopey.
I'm listening to Connie Chamagne's lovely cover of Iggy's "Shades." The Ig is underrated as a lyricist, I think. She also covers David Jo's "Frenchette."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
As for example...
You gave me a present The paper was blue and green I unwrapped it with pleasure These are the best shades I've ever seen You can be my girlfriend Forever and a day I never thought I was worth much Or that anyone would treat me this way
[Chorus] I'm not The kind of guy Who dresses like a king And a really fine pair of shades Means everything And the light that blinds my eyes Shines from you It makes me come in the night It makes me swim with delight I like this pain I like this mirror I like these shades
