I was starting to worry about you until #8.
Jayhawks? Wowee Zowee? Transmission From the Satellite Heart? That's classic stuff for me.
But there were seven tracks in a row without GBV or Pollard!
"The Hardest Button to Button" - The White Stripes
"Rockin At Midnight" - The Honeydrippers
"Cant Stop Feeling" - Franz Ferdinand
"New York Groove" - Ace Frehley
"Soul Man" - Sam and Dave
"No Matter What" - Badfinger
"Rhiannon" - Fleetwood Mac
"I Cant Stand It" - Eric Clapton
"Something To Talk About" - Bonnie Raitt
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)" -The Eurythmics
01. “Voices” – Sturgill Simpson – Metamodern Sounds In Country Music
02. “No Need To Worry” – Yeasayer – All Hour Cymbals
03. “Suite III Overture” – Janelle Monáe – The ArchAndroid
04. “Please Wake Me Up” – Tom Waits – Franks Wild Years

09. “NYC-25” – The Olivia Tremor Control – Music From The Unrealized Film Script: Duck At Cubist Castle
10. “Somebody Led Me Away” – Neko Case – The Virginian
For the first time, I listened to Metamodern front to back yesterday...man is that a great album.
I've got to buy that album quickly or I'll risk having my Citizenship revoked.
You should.
Also, I listened to it on Spotify the first time, back when the Nation first started talking about him. You could maybe go that route first?
About a month ago, I got pretty loaded one night only to wake up with a "Thank you for your order" email from Amazon in my inbox. I didn't remember buying anything, so I was a little worried. Turns out I bought "Metamodern" and The Strokes' "Is This It" on vinyl. Ended up being a great decision. It sounds amazing.
Drunk Mags has my back (at least this time)
a. Rock Pigeon “Primary Song” (Cornell Essential Set)
1. Aphex Twin “Girl/Boy (Redruth Mix)” Richard D. James Album

T. Dierks Bentley “Drunk on a Plane”* Riser
E. Plastikman* “Outbak” Musik
*Notes:
3. "Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice" will probably never sound as appealing.
6. Did you see the link? You can download it there.
8. A/K/A Jörg Burger and Wolfgang Voigt, a/k/a Burger/Ink or Burger/Voigt. Voigt has recorded solo works as Mike Ink and Gas. I don't think Mohn hits the heights of the Burger/Ink or Burger/Voigt works I've heard.
9. This still hasn't stuck with me.
d. I don't think this would ever be heard in MN. For being a close relative of the Great Horned Owl, this is kindof pathetic.
e. From Dan Gibson, released on his "Solitudes" label. Probably the best listening of any of the bird-sounds collections I have. Also includes some frogs, insects, and mammals (squirrels, raccoon, coyote, and wolf, IIRC).
T. This is what happens when I never finish my summer mix. I've got a bunch of things I added just to listen to and haven't removed.
E. If I were the kind to clean up embarrasing tracks, I would have replaced Dierks with this.

B. "Two" The AntlersHospice
*not sure why it's hyphenated; it's one word here
**sure just go and ruin my streak of wonderfully short song titles this morning
**It's actually supposed to be an em-dash. It's an excerpt from his notes about people he met at a party:
"Jane—Cute
Steve—Drunk
Frank—Quiet
Jack—Ass"
P.S. That definition 2 is lacking.
I think you just made my day.

Is that really random? In addition to the noted sequence. There's Year Zero and Earth 2
"Like No Other" and "Like Gold and Faceted"
Silverchair, "Diamond Mine", "Like Gold and Faceted", "Indian Jewelry", Free Gold! and "Shiny Happy People"
I've read through it for a message but didn't find anything.
As random as iTunes ever is. No message.
That's what Steve Jobs wants you to think.
(In addition to him being dead.)
It saddens me that Viva Voce broke up (both as a band and as a marriage). It surprises me to learn that this happened in late-2013 and that I didn't find out until a month or two ago.
The impossibly cool John Lurie with a great story/song about trying to get his band, The Lounge Lizards, to rehearsal.
