From my end, this playlist was continually in jeopardy of being drowned out by the sounds of a five year old who really didn’t want to get her hair brushed. “Ninevah” – Big Back Forty “Tamacun” – Rodrigo y Gabriela “What A Way To Go” – The Clarks “Magic” – The Cars “Can I Play […]

Because hey, why not – tunes! “Psycho (live)”- Elvis Costello & the Attractions “Disc Wars” – Daft Punk “Bring Me Li’l Water Silvy (live)” – The Wailin’ Jennys “July, July!” – The Decembrists “Which Describes How You’re Feeling” – They Might Be Giants “52 Girls” – The B-52’s “Elanor Rigby” – The Beatles “Why Do […]

So, yeah. I used to do this every week, then I kind of stopped. Not saying I’ll actually get back to doing it regularly, but I’m doing it today. Ten tunes, at random from the music folder on my laptop hard drive (which says I have over 13k songs in it right now; though that […]

Things have been really loud today, so I’ve been hiding inside the friendly bubble of insulating sound that my headphones provide. Why not track some of the stuff coming out of them? “Ribbon of Honor” – Innocent Nixon “Cool Rider” – Michelle Pfeiffer “Shut the Club Down” – Girl Talk “Stupid Thing” – Aimee Mann […]

Why? Because I felt like it. I figure I owe the wonky shuffle feature one last hurrah before I wipe and reload my Sansa with some of those CDs I just got around to ripping. Yeah, you can keep your ipod. My mp3 player has an FM tuner, plays well with linux, and is named […]

Just trying to wake up about now. Maybe this music will help. “Texas Lady” – Les Paul & Mary Ford “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (live) – The Hooters “A Million Miles Away” – The Plimsouls “European Swallow” – The Refreshments “The Human Hosepipe” – Harry and the Potters “Three Little Pigs” – Green […]

Because I’m here, and on the computer anyway, I’m doing a random ten, because it’s been four months. I guess I should call it the “quarterly random ten”. Not a bad mix; a couple of nostalgic old favorites, and one new favorite (which is a cover of an old favorite). See if you can guess […]

Some music: “Since I Don’t Have You” – Brian Setzer Orchestra “Low” – REM “Building a Mystery” – Sarah McLachlan “Ben Lee” (not “Ken Lee“)- The Ataris “Compromise” – The Indigo Girls “Little Song” – Sarah Jarosz “Buddy Holly” – Barenaked Ladies (yes, Barenaked Ladies covering Weezer) “Leave It All To Me” – Miranda Cosgrove […]

It’s turning into one of those lazy sort of Fridays, where I’m getting a few things done, but really don’t have much ambition about it. The rest of the weekend, other than running a few kids a few places, is looking pretty much the same. I can live with that. Incidentally, I woke up with […]

Couple of odd 80s novelties you don’t hear too often in this week’s batch. Kind of a pleasant surprise, all told. Really, though, I’m just glad to be done for the week, and hope that the weather holds out for this weekend’s camping trip. “Not The Doctor” – Alanis Morissette “King of Hearts” – Robert […]
