Lots of class, two instrumental interludes, and two killers--"Web in Front" remains one of my favorite 2 minute shots of adrenalized rock and "Hitler's Tears" is as catchy as catchy pop gets, with the classic line "he was fascist before it was cool" to boot.

Another way above average shuffle for me. I've been on a great roll lately. Elk City is a promising band I found on one of the Loose CDs or some other compilation.
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, "Sheets" Pig Lib
Hem, "An Easy One," Eveningland
Salt, "Dig Me a Hole," Country Girl: New Sounds of the Old West
Junius, "[The Annunciation]/Blood is Bright," Blood is Bright EP
Joey Gilmore, "Baby You're a Cooking," Best of Joey
Guided by Voices, "Dead Cloud," Earthquake Glue
The Band of Blacky Ranchette, "Bored Little Devil," Still Lookin' Good to Me
Guided by Voices, "The Ids are Alright," Universal Truths and Cycles
The Close, "Hey, Fever," It's a Secret to Everybody
Pavement, "Summer Babe [Winter Version], Slanted and Enchanted, L&R
Bonus: Billy Bragg, "Train, Train," Talking with the Taxman about Poetry
This one's all over the map, with the math/goth Junius "segueing" into Joey's classic blues, 2 GBVs, parenthetical Malkmuses (early and late) and three that reflect my i-lists recent Ahabization, speaking of which, two Hayden songs have followed the random list, and I've really enjoyed that cd.
I'm really glad you like Hayden, Marty. He's one of my favorites. I'm hoping for another album from him soon. It's been like three years.
