Double-posting because it was night then and it's morning now. Oh, and for some reason I'm not getting an edit option... maybe because of different IPs? Anyhoo, I'm not much of a talk radio person (as you might suspect), so I need tunes on my morning drive to work. Putting the ol' mp3 CD player on random is one of my favorite tricks, because it's got the surprise element of radio without the possibility (ah, who am I kidding - probability) that the next song will suck. So this song came up and really hit the spot on a sunny Ohio morning. The Velvet Crush - Faster Days

The Afghan Whigs - Come See About Me What a massive groove. Seriously.

I love those wristbands/gauntlets/whatever the proper term is. Totally Judas Priest! \m/ And yeah, the bike rocks too.

I think pixies is losing his touch. And I don't mean his touch with the ladies, no sir! Edit to stay on-topic, and because there haven't been too many pictures lately.

Welcome back, Musman! Yeah, we've been plugging away over here in the tunes thread. Like we always do 'bout this time Jurassic 5 - Contribution

That's a classic! Steve Earle - Johnny-Come-Lately When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain Met a little girl in the field canteen Painted her name on the nose of my plane Six more missions I'm gone Well I asked if I could stay, she said that I might The warden came around yelling "shut out the lights" Death rainin' out of the London night We made love 'til dawn

Ghost World was a great flick. Of course, Steve Buscemi is one of the best actors in the universe. Phone's ringing, Dude.

WTF? Jeff Buckly -- Corpus Christi Carol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love how monstrously cliched the song is. They took a classic chord progression and beat it to death with overdone vocals and romanticizing. Is it satire? They've sold a bazillion records, so the Killers aren't the epitome of "Indie Rock" anymore - if they ever were - so are they taking the piss out of Pavement? Are they satiring Sebadoh? But mostly I think I like it because I'm a sucker for big key changes, and they don't get much bigger than this one. Franz Ferdinand - Outsiders

I need to see me some snakes. Preferably on planes.

The Beatles - Baby's in Black

The Killers - Indie Rock and Roll Sometimes I could listen to this song all day. she plays the drums, i'm on tambourine

Ha, that Dreadie is a character. But seriously, folks... Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up It's a minor bummer that he's edited, but hey - you can't say those words on CBS. More Ryan Adams on Letterman goodness follows... Ryan Adams - Let it Ride I love the guy, but those glasses are ridiculous.

Jay-Z and DJ Danger Mouse - Dirt Off My Shoulder This just sounds ridiculous with the Julia sample, but "99 Problems (Helter Skelter)" and "Encore (Glass Onion and Savoy Truffle)" are siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

The Replacements - Unsatisfied

Your rampage is interesting, Pidesco, as most of the Miles Davis songs I have come across in my musical wandering tend to approach the 10-minute mark. The Wrens - North to Nothing I love this song.

Double entrendre alert! Umm... and searching for old music videos on YouTube is quickly becoming a hobby of mine.

I'm sure that he's still got love for the streets and all, but I have a hunch that Mr. Jedi Killer is either joking or trying to appear "hard."

The only Chaplin I've seen is Modern Times... I thought it was good, especially the assembly line bits. I also seem to remember him running around a department store at night.. was that from the same film? Also, wasn't that film based on a Ferlinghetti poem or something? And on topic, The Lemonheads - Down About It Edit: Baley, I love that Ben Folds song. My old high school girlfriend sent me that song about a year ago, when we were conversing for the first time since senior year. It may be the most imaginative gansta rap cover out there, right up with Dynamite Hack's "Boyz in the Hood."

Ah, comedy! And excellent use of that smiley on GOA's part. I started up a fantasy dynasty in MVP Baseball 05. I was pretty bummed last night when A-Rod fractured his arm in the 12th game of the season. It required some dramatic restructuring of the lineup, that's for sure, but I've got a few utility infielders that can handle it. Shame none of them can hit...

I listened to the Atmosphere songs on their MySpace page, and they weren't bad either. * Saul Williams - Black Stacey That's some heavy stuff. I like the beat, the flow, and the piano on the upbeats, Jamaica-riddim-style. * Edit: Except for "Dirty Girl," which sounds like a Kanye retread. And "Don't Ever ******* Question That." That song is very, very bad.

I've only heard one Atmosphere song ("Trying to Find a Balance") and I thought it was awesome. Where's a good place to start for them? Any ideas on what album I should look for? Social Distortion - Crown of Thorns

That is quite an old record! Pavement - Elevate Me Later

Great song. As far as FB's post-Pixies work goes, I am a big fan of Teenager of the Year and Dog in the Sand, the album from which that song hails. FB's first solo album is excellent as well, although it could have done with a little less cheesy keyboard. The eponymous FB&TC album is up and down but it has some great songs too. Show Me Your Tears is very good, it's the most country of his releases I've heard. I wasn't overly impressed with Honeycomb and I haven'et heard the new one yet. Most people steer clear of Pistolero, so I haven't bought that one. One of these days, I'll pick up Black Letter Days and Devil's Workshop... Am I forgetting any of them?

Ah the glory days of Eldar's trials are long gone, but TOMBS will always rise phoenix-like from the ashes. But this time it should have stayed buried.... ZOMBIES! :ph34r:

Not at all. 1965 is my favorite Whigs album (and the first one I bought, too). John the Baptist was the song that got me into them. I believe "The Critics" like Gentlemen the most, probably for the raw lyrical material. I think their other albums are great too, but the band hadn't completely distanced itself from that grungy-rock sound yet. They experimented with the trashy organ and porn-flick guitar on Black Love, but you still had some of that punky swagger, like on "My Enemy." 1965 ripped the tether and let it fly off into a funky soul wonderland. you can **** my body, baby but please... don't **** my miiiiiiind
