      1. Yeah, lots of Maynard in general on this iPod.

        I find myself tolerating the White Stripes less and less (I still like them fine, but I usually listen to about 1 song at a time before finding something else).

          mmhmm. Sometimes, I'll queue up the music player and think "oh, hey, White Stripes! Haven't heard them in a while." I'll get through one song and maybe half of another and think, "alright! that's enough White Stripes for this month".

    *Notes:
    2. From the songs I added specifically for our family road trip next month. I haven't listened to Animal Collective in so long. This is from the album that allowed me to really get into them. (Centipede Hz being the one allowing me to completely give up on them.)

    5. Orchestrated by Sergei Gorchakov. Performed by the Krakow Radio Symphony-Orchestra directed by Karl Anton Rickenbacher. Translated title: "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Pictures at an Exhibition.

    d. "Chu-wee" or "Per-wee"

    T. From that album title, it's hard to tell if Funki Porcini was sympathetic to the KLF's "action", film, and book, or a critic of it. (Or maybe it's not a reference to that money at all.)

    To go further down that rabbit-hole, here's one of the two #1 singles that helped contribute to that Million Pounds. I think that JeffA may at least find it interesting:

      1. That CD was my first "awesome find" (and still one of my top ten) at a used CD store.
        The album was recalled and deleted because the Biz ticked off Gilbert O'Sullivan by extensively sampling "Naturally" for the song.
        When a short-lived music store opened in New Ulm, they bought a bunch of used CDs in bulk from a company that did that. That was one of the CDs (because, like 0 people in New Ulm would have bought it).
        Before that, I was just excited to find stuff for cheaper than new. Now I realized I could find stuff that even if I had the money, I couldn't get it new.
        The internet saved me from spending years of my life flipping through racks at stores looking for songs that will ultimately not be as cool as I imagined them.

  3. 1. “Poison & Wine” The Civil Wars Barton Hollow
    2. “Sylvia” The Antlers Hospice
    3. “Racing Like a Pro” The National Boxer*
    4. “The Waiting” Angel Olsen Half Way Home

    *I first heard “racing like a pro now” as “racing like a pronoun.”
    **God, this song is depressing.

  4. On a Beatles-related note, don't know how this McCartney tune skipped by me for so long, but I just stumbled on it, and I like it

  7. Paul Westerberg fans should check out The I Don't Cares Wild Stab (in spite of the stupid moniker.) 90's heartthrob Juliana Hatfield picked through some of PW's songs lying around his basement. The result is far better than anyone had a right to expect. Sounds like he's having fun again. I think he also might be in love.

    1. I heard about this collaboration just recently and was all like:

      But I still need to actually listen.
