Listened to Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix front to back this week...amazingly entertaining album (I'd nearly forgotten how good it was).
Yeah, it sneaks up on me every once in a while, too. 'Lisztomania' and '1901' are some of the best pop tunes to come out in the last 5 years.
I love that album.
when various tracks from it come up on Pandora, they always catch my ear.

I also bought a couple cd's for the first time in a while, picking up Epica's Requiem for the Indifferent and Volbeat's Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil. Volbeat is an interesting band, and the album is one I've had basically on repeat since I got it. A couple of examples:
on first glance while scrolling down, i thought the guy was playing a trumpet in the top video.

How goes the summer mix?
I've got it narrowed down to something like 112 songs.
So you need another 188 before you start paring? Cos I think I can get you most of that.
I'm stalling on repairing the computer because I have the bare minimum and it's so slow I almost don't want to search how to get a Windows reinstall disc from the manufacturer.
I guess I should this weekend, but it's the kickoff of summer and I wanted to start my eldest daughter on the Cub Scouting requirements. (I can't have her join a pack, but they can't stop me from buying the book and having her go through the motions. I want to enlist a neighbor girl or two, form a real mock-pack, but I don't want anyone to think me a predator. So my hope is to have CER get so excited about it that she tells the neighbor girls and they want to be involved.)
I really think I've got a pretty good idea of what's going on it. I don't think it'll be Philosofette's favorite mix, but I'm going to enjoy it.
Did you like any of the songs I rec'd?
I'm thinking I'll still send you a bundle of MP3s that I'll hope you'll like.
I'm mark the ones that have some cursive language in them.
I was hoping to listen to some of them tonight. With a crazy work week and all I haven't had a chance to seek out the new stuff.
Sorry for not replying, but I really don't have much to add. Anything I would like you're probably already exposed to.
I was rummaging around the local pawn shop when I noticed a double jewel case packed with 4 self-burned CD-Rs from some psych rock band based out of Minneapolis named Gypsy. Judging by the signature on the back, the keyboardist for the band made a sort of a box set of the band's 4 albums and gave it to somebody. The person then sold it to the Alexandria pawn shop. For $3, it was way too interesting to pass up, even if the music has thus far only proven to be 'decent'.
Anyway, on with the ten random.

* This song is the new way to make anything epic.

That Sharon Van Etten album is getting tons of spins from me lately. I sort of find myself wanting to skip around on it sometimes, not because the rest of the songs aren't good, but because Give Out, Serpents, Ask, In Line, and one other that I'm currently forgetting are just so good. If I hear another song better than "Give Out" this year, it'll be a great year.
