I think this is the first Mark Olson track to break into my list, and it's a beauty. A couple of other songs of interest got in there with it -- including a fun Yo La Tengo courtesy of George -- but overall I'm in a bit of a rut again. iTunes is missing vast swathes of my collection and hitting on a lot of the same stuff.
A perfectly cromulent list there. (especially the Johnny Cash Unearthed track). Well done sir.
RIckey will have to check out this Thinking Feller's Union sometime. They sound fun.
Rickey--thanks for the compliment and making me look up cromulent. TFUL 282 can be pretty out there, but their songier songs take the noise and put it to tune's work.
Ahab, if you posted as anonymous, I'd guess your list was yours, indeed. But it's a fine list, so is that a problem?
Generik, lots of classic and classics this week. See you Sunday!
Hayden, "Hollywood Ending," Elk Lake Serenade
Drag the River, "Medicine," Closed
Joey Gilmore, "Can't Let Go," Best of Joey
Serge Gainsbourg, "Bonnie and Clyde," Initials Sg
Pavement, "Mussle Rock (Is a Horse in Transition)," "Kris Kraft," "Brinx Job" Wowee Zowee, Sordid Sentinals
Rilo Kiley, "Capturing Moods," The Execution of All Things
Califone, "Forty-One," Everybody's Mother
Guided by Voices, "Universal Truths and Cycles," Universal Truths and Cycles
Bonus: Crooked Fingers, "Every Dull Moment," Bring on the Snakes
Strange list, as it seems to be trying to make up for having skipped over Wowwee Zowie (picking three songs in a row) in favor of Slanted and Enchanted for many weeks. Other than that, this list features perhaps the most beautiful duet partner in history: Brigitte Bardot. Lots of variety in your lists, and I love your bonus, George.
