What are you listening to? I might've had something to write, but then HPR puked up his ballpark fare in his bed and I sat up with him to make sure he got everything else into the bucket.

This is probably the most relateable (for me at least) list I've ever seen you put up.
Well then, here's a 17-movement song cycle consisting of arrangements of some of e. e. cummings' poetry. "Buffalo Bill" is a particularly good one.
Tin Hat - the rain is a handsome animal
Noted for later.
damn it, nibs. I'm trying to be inaccessible here.
Try some Deerhoof.

1. "We're The Replacements" - TMBG - Don't Let's Start
2. "15" - Rilo Kiley - Under The Blacklight
3. "Rock The Casbah" - The Clash - Combat Rock
4. "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" - The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
5. "Bottle Rocket" - The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike
6. "Veronica" - Elvis Costello - Spike
7. "Walking With The Ghost" - Tegan & Sara - So Jealous
8. "You're So True" - Joseph Arthur - Shrek 2 Soundtrack
9. "Hey Baby Let's Go To Vegas" - Faith Hill - It Matters To Me
10. "Runaway" - Del Shannon - Runaway
B: "Finally Friday" - George Jones - Walls Can Fall
2. Under The Blacklight was disappointing. I loved this band, but maybe it was time for them to break-up. Still, Jenny Lewis has been fairly underwhelming apart from Rilo Kiley too, so maybe it wasn't?
5 - 7. Meh. Yeah, that's right. I "meh"ed Tegan & Sara.
8. I couldn't find any other album that this song had ever been on. That's kind of sad. I used it in the video I made for my wife for our wedding (it wasn't like a slide-show video, it was more... vignettes).
B: A.Freakin'.Men. Plus I'm taking next week off! [Edit: And just after I posted this list, I navigate over to the news to find out Mr. Jones has passed away. Sad.]
TMBG's EP for "Don't Let's Start" (b/w "When It Rains, It Snows", "We're the Replacements", and "The Famous Person Polka") was the first of theirs that I bought, back in '86.
You had about a decade head start on me then.
I found them thanks to Weird Al hosting an hour of MTV; part of the reason he played them ("Don't Let's Start") was because of the accordion.
I saw them hosting Nickelodeon's half-hour music video show doing in-studio "The Sun Is a Mass..."
I do like Tegan and Sara, but I'm more worried to learn that you don't like "Bottle Rocket".
I don't dislike it, but it seems to lack depth for me. It fits well with sugary stuff for me.
I like The White Stripes cover of 'Walking With A Ghost'
I do too, but that took a while. I was tied to the original at first.
ahh. I heard the Stripes first.

You ready to hear them play "Sorrow" over and over again for 6 straight hours?
I can't think of that being a good decision on any level.
Hey man, it's art.

Ol' No Show has to be in any discussion of Country Music's GOAT.

2. Ben Klock “Gold Rush” One

T. Deep Puddle Dynamics “June 26th, 1999 (b. Exist)” The Taste of Rain... Why Kneel
B. Ice Cube feat. Das EFX “Check Yo Self”* The Predator
*Notes:
3. Probably the most didgeridoo I have in my iTunes (except for maybe the Aphex Twin song "Digeridoo" (Nope: that's all digital)).
4. Nice transition from the didgeridoo of the Coil song to the hum that opens this song.
5. More humming/buzzing. This pairs well with the Coil, too. Some repeating flute figure that could be a sample from a rejected Horse Rotorvator or The Ape of Naples track. The least noise-y thing I've heard from Dilloway, it's pretty fantastic.
7. Back-to-back weeks!
B. One of my fave songs of The Predator, (okay, along with like 6 others), but "Shotgun bullets are bad for your health"? Had he ever fired a weapon in his life? When B-Real said he was a Hollywood gangster (back before his acting career was Priority**), I didn't get understand it, but this lyric wasn't on my mind. Hearing this again, I get it now. I just realized this was one of the Muggs productions.
**Record-label pun.
The Herbaliser feat. Latyrx“8 Point Agenda (Version 1)” 8 Point Agenda
This is probably one of my 200 favorite songs. The absolute smoothness of Lyrics Born's delivery in the first verse is great.
I mentioned this last week, but a message to any of you going to the Dylan at Midway show, don't sleep on Richard Thompson. He's got an electric trio that showcases the man's virtuosity. He's also doing a few covers from the bygone days of Power Trios. 64 year-olds shouldn't sound this vital.

I think Dylan is the act I'm least looking forward to seeing on this bill. I'm definitely excited to see Richard Thompson - whom I've never seen live.
