Try "Hard to Be Human Again" from Fear and "Oblivion" from Edge if you want to do a one-song sample set.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

But my wife really wants kids. "Sorry, dear, we'll have to adopt. Blame Misha."

Your wife capitalizes hers? No wonder you proposed.

Hey wise folk: Mekons are now on eMusic! What do I really, really need? Have been wanting to check them out for a while, where do I start?
Dude, they got more reviews in Lost in The Grooves than anybody excepting the Beach Boys. Look 'em up, Lexi.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I am personally very fond of The Mekons Rock and Roll (which has the great "Memphis Egypt" on it) and also deeply love So Good It Hurts with my favorite "Ghosts of American Astronauts" and the excellent "(Sometimes I Feel Like) Fletcher Christian." (AMG wrongly gives this spanking great and very listenable album a middling review. I think it's one of their most listenable, where they perfected their distinctive mix of country music and punk lashed with carribean rhythms).

What David said. But then, I like the rock.

Rock and Roll is not on eMusic, which only has the Quartstick stuff.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm pretty sure my shiny new iPod has made my work day at least 50% more tolerable. David, I downloaded your Halloween playlist and listened to it on the way in to work today, driving through the low, thick fog. I think "The Green Slime" is my favorite track. Thanks!
Does anyone have recommendations for good mp3 blogs? I'm not sure where to start looking.

You should see the movie. They play that song over the opening credits in a groovy disco on a space station.
