1. I have a couple of tickets for Craig Finn's Sunday show at the Turf Club that I won't be using. I will trade them for a player beer at a future caucus to be named later.

   Todd Rundgren -- "Lockjaw" httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gHzHu1_arw

   Thanks to Pandora, I've been getting into a group called Animals as Leaders, which everynoise considers jazz metal or "djent", which I just learned about. I really like their less metal stuff.
   httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3DvAyc6Si8

   1. How does Jazz Metal compare to Blackjazz?
      (Images NSFW via butts and sideboob).
      I love this song more than I should. But like some other genres or artists, I've tried other songs and can't get into them. I just want that one song I first heard, and when I hear other songs by them, it just makes me want to hear that first one.
      Similar to: Placebo "Pure Morning"
      Skunk Anansie "Killing Jesus"
      Ane Brun "Headphone Silence"
      Father John Misty "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings"
      Jose Gonzales "Crosses"
      Katy B "Louder"
      Natalie Prass "My Baby Don't Understand Me"
      Sean Paul "Get Busy"
      Sharon Van Etten "Give Out"
      We Are the Willows "A Funeral Dressed as a Birthday"
      Wu Lyf "Dirt"
      (Yes, I quickly scanned my iPod alphabetically.)

      "Get to the 'Working Overtime' part!"

      1. Well the sideboob is right there in the preview image, so I made it a link.

      2. Well, if that song were vocal-free, I'd be all over it.

      3. "Get to the 'Working Overtime' part!"

         ASD did this to Duncan Shiek onetime. Just kept (drunkenly belligerently) yelling "Play 'Barely Breathing'!"

4. 01. “Voice In Headphones” – Mount Eerie (With Julie Doiron & Fred Squire) – Lost Wisdom
   02. “bruises (amethyst) – elvis depressedly – new alhambra

   The Curse - Josh Ritter. Ain't too many Mummy songs out there... Also, I assume someone else will hit "Wolf Like Me."

   I also enjoy listening to the soundtrack from Rocky Horror Picture Show this time of year.

   1. Spoiler	SelectShow
      The Curse sort of popped into my head* about a week ago but I couldn't remember the title so I couldn't track it down. My mind kept telling me the musician was Josh Groban, but I knew that wasn't correct. *obviously not the melody but I remembered this song is liked but couldn't think of the title/artist so it was frustrating

6. Somebody who isn't in their phone better embed the appropriate Mr. Show clip.

   1. I guess I have to do it all myself:

    1. Dude, I'm trying to do this anonymously! Now I know who submitted the GBV song...

       I should probably consider Coil's "Amethyst Deceivers": Mushrooms (the title is a type), Birds ("Pay Your Respects to the Vultures / For they are our future"), Autumnal (from the Autumn Equinox EP), and morbid (see again the lyrics).

    2. The last one on your list is a must.

    Both of these should be on it. Two of the spookiest songs to chart during my childhood. "Fire" by Arthur Russell peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Chart of '68. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaHEusBG20c "DOA" by Bloodrock reached number 36 on Billboard's Top 40 in '71. This tune used to scare the crap out of 9 year old E-6 when it came on his transistor radio late in the 'Kato evening. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClJLrxGClxk

18. Taking Joanna Newsom's Divers over to the studio right now. Looking forward to this one very much.

    (It's standing at a score of 88 over at Metacritic, but doesn't include the rave at NPR.)
