Xander ,'Chosen'
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.
Theo- I didn't finish sending new mix tape to buffistrawk before I left work, and it is on my work computer. Will try more tomorrow.
ETA: Also the nice thing about the "I Kissed a Boy" is that unlike Hollaback Boy, I assume that Katy Perry is OK with it and they will be able to keep singing it.
Saturday Boy sent to Buffistarawk. My Vic CD seems to be missing in action.
For Thursday, I have:
Giles, Giles, & Fripp - "Thursday Morning" (60s britfolk-pop from the band that would turn into King Crimson the next year)
Les Savy Fav - "Blackouts on Thursday" (loud punk)
The Mendoza Line - "Social Thursday" (introspective folk)
Morphine - "Thursday" (the most Morphine-like of all Morphine songs)
Townes Van Zandt - "Like A Summer Thursday" (introspective folk, Texas-style)
Also good:
The Brilliant Corners - "Friday Saturday Sunday Monday" (kiwi-pop, which means it's sorta like the Feelies and sorta like Belle & Sebastian)
Silver Jews - "Friday Night Fever" (hyperliterate indie rocker gone Nashville)
Robbie Fulks - "Let's Kill Saturday Night" (anyone mention this one yet?)
Jonathan Richman's cover of "The Heart of Saturday Night" (which posits the track as an outtake from American Graffiti)
Sparklehorse - "Saturday" (man, what a delightful song)
Sir Douglas Quintet - "Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day" (aww yeah, baby)
I don't have the Pogues song, so I'm sending only the Spoon song to B-rawk, I think.
Asaf Avidan with the wonderful Empty Handed Saturday Blues was sent to buffistarawk.
Am downloading the Torchwood Soundtrack. Am big geek.
Thanks to everyone for your "day" suggestions and for selections sent, with a special shout out to Perkins for sheer volume and Jesse for "Lazy Sunday".
I always discover great (new to me) music through your help.
I'm very proud of myself for getting a Thursday song.
This is an awesome video: Wire’s “Outdoor Miner” on Ukulele
It's performed by Gus & Finn. I don't know anything about them - I'd love to get an audio recording of this....
Pretty awesome mixtapes. Posts in Hebrew, music and playlists in English. Mostly 70's Funk, Groove and Jazz.
Megan, I have the Bangles, Asobi Seksu, and the Bloc Party. I'll send these to Buffistarawk.
Some other weekday songs I have:
Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo, Jens Lekman (I loooove this one)
Friday's Dust, Doves
St. Monday, Billy Bragg
Saturday Morning, Eels
A Sunday Smile, Beirut
Sunday Morning, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs (a gorgeous VU cover)
Sunday Sun, Beck
Saturday Night, Suede
Sunday Best, Augustana
Sunday, Nick Drake
Never on Sunday, Pink Martini
Um. Rather a disproportionate number of Sunday songs there. Let me know if you want any of these uploaded.
ETA: Corwood, could I ask you to send Sparklehorse' "Saturday" to BR if you have it? I love them and I don't have that one.
