    2. The announcer for TLLS (last few seconds) is Shadoe Stevens, who some may have actually heard of but I know as Fred Rated from these kind of ads from my days living in LA in the 80s:

    This feels like it takes an abrupt right turn around #8. Of course, I skip most of these songs most of the time, so maybe that abrupt right turn is at #1. I love the bonus song though.

  9. .

    * Your Weather - Dinosaur Jr - Farm
    * Titan - Monolake - Atlas
    * The Deepest Blues Are Black - Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
    * In An Old Apron - David Lang - The Little Match Girl Passion (D. Lang)

    * Hypodermic - The Offspring - Ignition
    * What Happened To You? - The Offspring - Smash
    * Teenage Witch - Eels - Souljacker

    I think I've mentioned Indian Jewelry here in passing before, but they have a new album - Peel It. It's two parts Swans and one part Portishead, but not as serious as either of those bands. Here's "See Forever" - the video isn't that great, but the song is good.

    There's also Cloned Moor, who are like what would happen if METZ decided to do post-rock. I'm not sure if this is good or not, but it's not very long and you can name your own price, so it's worth a listen. Plus the song titles are ridiculous.

    1. Stranglehold Ted Nugent
    2. Come on Closer Jem
    3. Beast of Burden The Rolling Stones
    4. I’m on Fire Town Mountain *
    5. Dammit Blink 182

    6. Every Little Thing She Does is Magic The Police
    7. 1 2 3 4 Feist**

    9. Mad World Gary Jules
    10. I Just Dropped By To Say Hello Johnny Hartman

    B. Lay Low My Morning Jacket

    *Yes, that “I’m On Fire”…not a bad bluegrass rendition of it actually.
    **Bootsy bait – I have a great appreciation of Feist thanks to our painter in residence (though recently an infrequent visitor to these parts)
    ***From my “cheaptoy” Pandora station

    1. Politics and general buffoonery aside, Nugent's first album is a [redacted] rock and roll powerhouse. I can't listen to it without cranking the volume all the way up and banging my head against the nearest solid object.

        1. The eponymous one. Free for All was a decent follow-up, and he did a few good things with the Amboy Dukes before going solo, but TN TN is still the best thing he's ever done. Since Cat Scratch Fever, though, it's been all downhill.

          1. Yea, well, where else did he have to go artistically after the masterpiece that was "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang"??

        2. In looking for an answer to your question, I found this nugget:

          Rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Derek St. Holmes left during the recording of the album [Free-for-All ]. Vocalist Meat Loaf, then an unknown, was brought in to sing on some of the album's tracks that were meant for St. Holmes...

          -sweet-

          1. I did not know that about Meat Loaf. Now I have to dig out my 8-track of Free-for-All and give it another listen.

    2. Heh, glad its at least one of their good songs. That album is about 50% really good/50% meh, but after that they started getting kind of annoying (or really annoying if we're talking about Anselmo.)

  11. 1. "Amazing Grace" Ani Difranco Dilate
    2. "Wooly Wolly Gong" Tune Yards WHOKILL
    3. "Rolling in the Deep" Adele 21
    4. "This Land Is Your Land" Elizabeth Mitchell Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie"
    5. "Sprout and the Bean" Joanna Newsom The Milk-Eyed Mender
    6. "Hang On Little Tomato" Pink Martini Hang On Little Tomato
    7. "Laundry Room" The Avett Brothers I and Love and You
    8. "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" Las Rubias del Norte Rumba Internationale
    9. "Chicken Pox" I'm from Barcelona Let Me Introduce My Friends
    10. "There's Nothing" Shout Out Louds Howl Howl Gaff Gaff

    1. Do you like the Adele album? I'm asking because you and I seem to have some musical overlap, and I don't know if I'm sold on Adele.

      1. Actually, I can't really tell you. The husband downloaded just a couple songs from that album and I happened to grab them when I was throwing stuff onto my playlist. She's got a powerful voice to be certain but I haven't heard enough to say what I think of her as a musician or of her songs in general.

  12. Just in time for Opening Day I'll be going on the dole and seeking gainful employment. A Top Ten list just won't cut it for me today, guys, I need to put in some overtime. Here's my 25-song roster. It's not random, just what's weighing on my mind.

    1. Gotta Find a Job – Lee Dorsey
    2. Minimum Wage – They Might Be Giants
    3. Shove This Jay-Oh-Bee – Canibus with Biz Markie
    4. Working For The Man – Roy Orbison
    5. Sixteen Tons – Tennessee Ernie Ford
    6. Lost My Job – Alex Chilton
    7. Don’t Talk To Me About Work – Lou Reed
    8. Career Opportunities – The Clash
    9. Will Work for Food – The Halo Benders
    10. Why Don’t You Get a Job – Offspring
    11. Bright Future in Sales – Fountains of Wayne
    12. I Need A Goddamn Job – The Replacements
    13. Say Boss Man – Bo Diddley
    14. Big Boss Man – Kentucky Headhunters
    15. Plastic Factory – Captain Beefheart
    16. Frankly Mr. Shankly – The Smiths
    17. Dirty Work – The Rolling Stones
    18. Get a Job – The Silhouettes
    19. Take This Job and Shove It – Johnny Paycheck
    20. Welcome to the Working Week – Elvis Costello
    21. It’s Not My Place in a 9-5 World – The Ramones
    22. Factory – Bruce Springsteen
    23. Workin’ Man – Rush
    24. I Can’t Wait to Get Off Work – Tom Waits
    25. Working Class Hero – John Lennon

    1. You're playing my song(s) Twayn. You ever want a sympathetic ear... well, I suppose the whole of the WGOM works for that.

      Also, love the 25-song roster idea. Well done.

      1. I had Killdozer's Working Hard or Hardly Working in there for cheaptoy, but it got optioned to AAA Rochester to make room for a third catcher.

    2. You could start an Intertubes call-in show about truck repairs. With Click & Clack's retirement, there's a market opportunity.

      more seriously, best wishes.

  13. Lefty Frizell--If You've Got the Money Honey
    Theory of a Deadman--Say Goodbye

    Bonus: digging aournd on YouTube for a Replacements clip, I stumbled upon Sonic Youth 'Kool Thing'. I didnt listen to Sonic Youth growing up and only know them from being on The Simpsons Homerpalooza episode. This song has been stuck in head head all week
