Towards my embarassment, I partially answer nibbish's challenge from the Tuesday gamelog:
Stop, drop, KABOOM!, baby time for some victuals.
Some call me Lutefisk, some call me "stink that wiggles".
Far from simple, make ya German friends giggle.
Get 'em under control, with taste that makes your tummy tickle
Jell-O jiggles, My scent makes your nose wrinkle.
But with a little Gjetost, I'll make ya mouth dribble.
I stopped it there because it was getting really lame.
Anyway, please share ten random songs from your music device or service.
Or take the Ludafisk challenge yourself!

* This song was in the movie Empire Records and an old friend loved that movie. Time has kind of drift us apart, but this song reminds me of the great time I had with her.
** oh hey, these guys have a new album out. Ive only given it one listen, but its OK enough for me to give it another listen today
*** Its always a tossup between Lola and Arthur for my favorite Kinks album. I love them both.
**** BUY THIS ALBUM
I always enjoyed that song marked with a *
Very strange list today. A bunch of songs off the various Live Current albums and a bunch of performers I've seen live. The National is on both lists. Son Volt is the only song on neither. Tomorrow night will be the sixth time Sheenie and I will have caught Macklemore in concert.

I like how you made it Ludafisk instead of Lutefisk. That acutally a pretty good translation, given the restrictions on subject matter.
Thanks.
Chorus:
I had most of that in my head before I started. Not sure why a song about retirees drinking coffee at a small town hotel restaurant has a verse sung by ethnic food, but whatever.

I added the Audio Companion to The Warbler Guide to my iPod last night. I'm skipping those 1000-plus tracks that make up about 25% of the tracks on my iPod.
1. Tranquility Bass “The Bird”* Let Your Freak Flag Fly
2. Eric Copeland “Bowlin”* Limbo
3. Kode9 & the SpaceApe “9 Samurai” Memories of the Future
4. Twilight Circus Sound System “Horsie” Horsie*
5. Wolf Eyes “Stabbed in the Face”* Burned Mind
6. Baaba Maal “I Will Follow You (Souka Nayo)” Nomad Soul
7. Har Mar Superstar “Lady You Shot Me” Bye Bye 17
8. Current 93 “Whilst the Night Rejoices Profound and Still” Birdsong in the Empire
9. Scout Niblett “My Man” It's Up to Emma
T. Bastille “Flaws (Live Acoustic Version)”* Bad Blood (Extended Cut)
*Notes:
1. “If you'd a-gone up / Like you came down / You could a-come down / Like you went up.”
2. A bonus self-mashup of the whole Limbo album that was available at Pitchfork.
4. In my opinion, the best gol-dang Dutch Dub album you're gonna find.
5. I find the vocals a bit distracting, I wonder if I could find an instrumental.
T. EAR loves this version of this song. I'm trying it out. I think it might be a cooler if the song was "Floors":
Yeah, now that'd be vivid songwriting. Or maybe i'm just too much of a homeowner who wants to ditch the carpeting.

4. I don't know that any lyrics have ever infuriated me more. "But it was not my fault but yours." You shouldn't use "but" twice in a sentence like that!
6. This one seemed kind of neat. Might get old fast, but I liked it. I'm a sucker for horns though.
8. This album is 9 years old? Yikes.
10. Rilo Kiley has been coming up a lot in my Pandora. I knew I loved 'em, but lately they've easily been among my absolute favorites.
Another from my 2013 playlist on Spotify.
01. A$AP Ferg - "Dump Dump" from Trap Lord
02. Chelsea Light Moving - "Sleeping Where I Fall" from Chelsea Light Moving

10. Bleeding Rainbow - "Pink Ruff" from Yeah Right
BT. Juicy J ft. A$AP Rocky - "Scholarship" from Stay Trippy
The Juicy J album is getting a pretty large amount of recognition. I've seen people ask "what rap is coming to" in response to the album. Look, I'm not gonna say Juicy J is the most uh... high brow of artists but it's not like this is a big change from the stuff he's been doing his entire career. I mean "Slob on My Knob" came out in 1999.
One more thing: The new TV Ghost album is currently streaming on their SoundCloud. It comes out on Tuesday, and it's really really great. It's very goth-y and it is a sound that works well for them. I loved their last two albums and it doesn't look like their third is going to disappoint.
Before Knighthood, Bob Geldof was a Rat.
