I've been fighting the urge to jot songs down. Finally went ahead and started listing them. Running through a random sampling of my on disk library. Crazy combinations of this and that and three of the other. As always these are songs I enjoy that I haven't listed in the past.

Faust Arp - Radiohead
Handshakes - Metric
Glass Ceiling - Metric
Bones - Editors
Romeo and Juliet - The Killers
The Porch - Reservations
Stupidland - Family of the Year
Zoo Station - U2
Don't Pass My By - The Beatles
Timeline - CHAPPO
Paper Gangsta - Lady Gaga
I Will Sing You Love Songs - My Morning Jacket
River Rhine - Bison
The Day - They Might Be Giants



Always more to come. Keep listening.

It's Thanksgiving Eve. Stressed out from a super heavy workload, and from the prospect of spending time with family and all the difficulty it represents. Going out tonight to blow off steam, and working on Friday, so I'm not sure what the family time will be like. I always dread the worst in the hopes that I'll be surprised that it's not that bad. This time is no different. Seems highly unlikely that it will be good. And that makes the stress worse. Sigh. Happy Thanksgiving.




All You Need is Love - The Beatles
No Surprises - Radiohead
Even if We Try - Night Beds (Repeat - but it's too beautiful to not include)
Please Pass the Biscuits - Jimmy Dean
A Case of You - Joni Mitchell
Come Walk with Me - M.I.A.
So Rock On - Luscious Jackson
We Sink - CHVRCHES
Suddenly - Anna Calvi
Smug - Polica
Someone Who Can - Yuna
Truly Freaking Out - Tim Kasher

Good weekend, and a day off on Monday. Listening to All Songs Considered "Moving On" podcast.


Ramble On - Led Zeppelin
Out On The Weekend - Neil Young
There's No Home for You Here - White Stripes


and from Tuesday, following the landmark passage of marriage equality by the Delaware Senate, which after being signed by the governor made Delaware the 11th state to approve same sex marriage. Of course I posted my support for this in a public forum and got quite a bit of kickback, some of it on the ugly side. So this section is aimed primarily at MN, LN, MM, BW, SS, and any other closed-minded, Homophobic, self-righteous bigots.

Fuck You - Lily Allen
Gimme Some Truth - The Beatles


I'm out for today. More to come.

Here is some cleanup from listening sessions months ago that never found their way to be published. Many of these were from October 2011 and a pretty tough stretch for me. Several things were ending, and not in a way I liked. I'm not over that, probably won't ever be, but music remains a constant thread through my life. Sometimes it has preserved my sanity and sometimes it has served to give expression to many of the emotions that are too hard to know how to feel about.

Swirly - Ringo Deathstarr

Always Looking - Dum Dum Girls

Vessel - Zola Jesus

Get Right - Megafaun

Montana - Youth Lagoon

Free As A Bird - The Beatles

Ghost Town - First Aid Kit

The Lion's Roar - First Aid Kit

And some from now...

Hair - Lady Gaga

Old Friend - Caveman

Gold - Delayed Trees

Art of Almost - Wilco

Always more to come...
