Gave a listen to Wilco's new album over lunch. It's... okay. 6.2/10.
On that topic, yeah, I know. I've been meaning to mess around with Spotify or something similar, but haven't set it up yet. If I use one of those (free) services, can one just set up a playlist with certain songs and only hear those songs, or does a lot of other crap get mixed in? Don't care about commercials or anything.
Spotify would randomize the playlist from mobile (it would it it straight through, with limited commercial interruption on a laptop/desktop), but I don't believe you'd get anything other than an occasional commercial.
Cool. Thanks.
We can just create any playlist of our own?

8. Could this be the best Bottle Rockets song? It's freaking cruel. So many (suppressed male) feels. "Like me [the train is] moving slow, but he's got two things on me y'know: diesel power and he feels no pain."

5. I had never heard this song, but I loved it. Thanks Pandora. I have long thought Vampire Weekend had some Buddy Holly about them, and this one really rocked that.
7. The first day I biked to work when I lived in Arlington, this song got stuck in my head as a biked. It was an exhausting ride, and there was one supremely brutal hill… Anyway, I can’t hear this song without thinking back to that ride. It’s kind of a nice association now.
8. Apparently Pandora was really into songs that started with an ‘H’ today.
#8 is a cover. Are you familiar with the original? It's pretty great. Everything that I've since heard from AIH sounds like a pale facsimile.
BTW, while I currently have none of these songs on my iPod, I have had three in the past (not including the AIH version of HIR).
I wasn't familiar with the original until the last time this came up on one of my lists and you shared it with me.
I think that's the first time I've seen The Blow on anyone else's list.

Lydia Loveless Sunday night. Who's in? Corn? AMR?
I really want to go but it'll be a gametime decision. EAR and her mother and sisters are going to a wedding shower, and my FIL and I have the kids for the day and are expected to cut down an apple tree that EAR thinks died of Fire Blight. I don't think that's what killed it, so it's not so important to remove it. Some branches still show some life and the tree's dormant. Or maybe she's right and it's not fully dead yet and likely to spread the fungal disease to the other trees if we don't remove it now.
(Two more apples, three pears in the general vicinity, plus a crabapple on the other side of the garage.) So, how much work do I get done and how tired are I and EAR?
Waiting to get permission.
I just learned that Michael Kandel (the only member of Tranquility Bass) died back in May at 47. Bummer, he seemed like he was back to making music after making one album and then nearly disappearing for a decade and a half (with like five remixes released during the first half-decade though). His first album Let Your Freak Flag Fly is a really cool thing of techno-ambient through a jaded post-woodstock-hippie prism. There were awesome rumors about the recording of the album, like the amount of time and money he spent on some pacific northwest island, and how many separate tracks there were in each song. Nine songs, and one's a country ballad and another Jimmie Rodgers cover (1920's music)!. On one of the "normal songs," both verses are sung at the same time and are isolated to each stereo channel. So much of the techno stuff that came out in the late 90's was so British or at least European. This was a guy that made an album that sounded American. You could tell he had spent time in the desert, and had never heard of "Top of the Pops". He sounded like an Alex Patterson for our continent. RIP.
