'Lineage'
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.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. Though, I let my iPod just stay on shuffle, or play whatever I feel like playing. It's only with iTunes that I need it to be stuff I haven't played before.
I love that Robbie William song. "When I'm drunk I dance like my dad..."
When I walk/train to work, I have to play songs that I've played before and really like. When I'm working is usually when I audition stuff I haven't heard before.
I have an "unplayed" playlist, Lyra Jane, and I make myself listen to a couple of songs from it every day.
Who kept telling me I needed to listen to the Dresden Dolls? You were right. I saw the video for "Coin-Operated Boy", listened to a couple more songs via the iTunes store, and bought the CD today.
Pete just complained that he cannot get "Coin-Operated Boy" out of his head and it is driving him craaaaaaazy. I told him it was payback for the Kenya song.

It's true. I get it stuck in my head all the time. I think it might be more insidious than the Kenya song.
After I showed him the video (hurrah for the "on demand" cable menu!), he informed me that I am NOT to shave off my eyebrows and draw them on with little swirly lines, no matter how cute I think it is on the girl from Dresden Dolls. He knows me well.
The drummer of the Decemberists, Rachel Blumberg, has decided to leave the band. Too bad -- I enjoyed her playing and singing. The good news is that not only have they already found a new drummer -- John Moen who's played with Steve Malkmus and others -- but Petra Hayen has joined on violin and vocals!

Awesome, Jilli! It's such a great CD.

I played the Dresden Dolls (and god, Coin-Operated Boy is catchy) and my friend Amy (who is from Columbus, where the band is from) just looked at me askance. "Where did you get the Dresden Dolls? They're a local band," she said. "I guess they got bigger." "This is SO WEIRD."
Columbus? Ohio? I thought they were from Boston.
