I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the one brilliant song is the Talking Heads song. I love them.

Bonus: Mark Olson, "Say You’ll be Mine" December’s Child
George, do you and Amy have the Mark Olson albums? (December's Child and My Own Joellen?) God, they're great.
Smitty, that's probably choice #2 from the list--I like the Heads, too, but it's not my favorite cut on that album (Generik came up with that, actually).
Ahab, we do not have any Mark Olson, actually.
Califone, "Welcome Christmas," perishable xmas sampler
Pavement, "Rattled by the Rush," Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinals Edition
Hayden, "Skates," Everything I Long For
Milloy, "Blackjack," More Than A Machine
Muse, "Showbiz," Showbiz
Pavement, "Father to a Sister of a Thought," Wowee Zowee, etc.
Neutral Milk Hotel, "You've Passed," On Avery Island
Sarge, "Stall (Live)," Distant
Califone, "If You Would," [Roots & Crowns]
Muse, "Sober," Showbiz
Bonus: Pavement, "So Stark (You're a Skyscrapter)" Slanted and Enchanted, L&R
Repeats made me want to cheat, but at least some new blood (Hayden, thanks Ahab and Sarge thanks Elizabeth Elmore) perked me up.
Now that Kathleen Edwards has taken over as the new crush, I'm going to guess that is isn't Neko... or is it?
Marty, I'm so pleased you like Hayden. I remembered that you commented on him a few months back. Everything I Long For is nothing less than BRILLIANT, IMHO. It's so different from the later, falsetto-predominant albums, isn't it? But I love all of his albums, every one. I wish I could discover them all anew.
How about the harmonica riff on the final track of the new album? Is that not heart-wrenchingly gorgeous?
I can't wait for the show next week. It's a tiny place. I'll probably get to chat with him as I did Richard Buckner and Langhorne Slim.
I think "The Long Cut" is brilliant, and I'll bet you do too.
1. TV II - Ministry
2. Soft Ground - Mott the Hoople
3. A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall - Pete Seeger
4. Pulling Teeth - Green Day
5. Opportunity - Elvis Costello
6. Keep the Car Running - The Arcade Fire
7. A Dream That Must Last - Neil Young
8. I Love You - Nat King Cole
9. Uptown - Roy Orbison
10. Any Colour You Like - Pink Floyd
Bonus: God Walks Among Us - The Flaming Lips
Man that's just plain weird. Not every day you see Ministry, Mott the Hoople, Nat King Cole, and Pink Floyd together
Turns out Ahab knows my musical likes better than my own wife. And it's not that Kathleen Edwards has squeezed Neko Case out of my redheaded-siren-loving heart. It's that that particular Case cut is all of a minute and a half.
True, Ahab. I loved the old album, which surprised me. I agree; it's brilliant. I just listened to "In Field and Town" and loved it. It's much more, well, country, but right up my sad bastard path, and yes, through that last harmonica note. Still thinking about ATL. It's an overnight trip, but if things fall into place . . .
I would have guessed the UT masterpiece, too, but there were a few songs I didn't know, George, so I would have just been lucky.
Marty, I only knew like half George's songs too, but I took a shot at it.
What do I win, anyway?
