Speaking of songs that make me sing, thanks for the introduction to The Decemberists. I've had "July, July" stuck in my head all day. I must head back to iTunes and download more.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.
'Serenity'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

John Henry was the fifth of ten, so no. But yeah, that one's just littered with singables. I also submit "Cyclops Rock," "Experimental Film," and "The Bells Are Ringing" from the second half of the discography so far.

Yeah, I don't even like "Cyclops Rock" but it gets stuck in my head.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Of Montreal was fucking awesome.
I dare you to name one other band who, in the middle of the show, stages a chaotic Battle for a Donut: the band members fight each other, take each other's shoes off, hit each other with various instruments, chase each other on and off the stage, worship the Donut, praise the Donut, display the Donut on a soft purple pillow.
IN SLOW-MOTION.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh - I was overly contentious with the TMBG challenge, but the unified front of fandom stirred the iconoclast in me. Also, I just wanted to see what folks really liked of recent vintage 'cuz I've thrown a few TMBG projects back that were trumpeted. But I'm willing to investigate again.
Out of the last five, what's the convincer? What's their best recent?

"Mink Car" has grown on me faster than the others, though I'd rate "No!" a close second. It's brilliant for being great for kids without taking away from its adult appeal. Would've loved to have seen their No! shows.
FYI to Soulseekers: Look me up. mrbroom. Please pillage my excellent music.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmmm, this mix is about one song too long for burning. What gets the axe?
