And all the boys in the band know how to get down
fill our Christmas socks with whiskey drinks and chocolate bars
We had some new kids on the block last week who didn’t know what the hell this is.
- Get out your iPod.
- Set it to shuffle.
- List the first ten songs that pop up and, no matter how shitty (anything by Devendra Banhart) or socially embarrassing (coughRushcough) they may be, you post them.
..and with that, here I go:
Crying Like A Church On Monday – New Radicals
Daggers Drawn – The Minus 5
Bodas de Oro – Ry Cooder & Manuel Galban
Divine Hammer – The Breeders
Come Together – Poi Dog Pondering*
Wild Packs of Family Dogs – Modest Mouse
Perfect Disguise – Modest Mouse
It Must Be Summer – Fountains of Wayne
Youth Decay – Sleater-Kinney
Superfly – Curtis Mayfield
and one more song that Miley Cyrus will never cover like her bosoms: Snakedriver – The Jesus and Mary Chain
*On a whim I picked up a used copy of Natural Thing by Poi Dog Pondering this week and I’m not sure what I was expecting but this wasn’t even close to it.
On the other hand, I’m enjoying this resurgence of throwback stylists like Amy Winehouse and Duffy. The spirit of Dusty Springfield lives!

I was born a prisoner in your dungeon of flesh, oh yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Solitary confinement underneath your dress, oh yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
But i broke those shackles, I bent those bars I got out the van and drove away in my car.
I got a new girl now, she dont understand me but she’s getting hot now
And she’s white (white)
She is so white, shes white like the light never like the night
Shes white (white) she is so white
I was born to excite her, she could never be whiter toniiii-iight.

My nominee for the first fucker ta fire when the dem prez takes office come November:
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, said the U.S. political transition will be “extraordinarily challenging,” particularly as the military is engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan and faces interference in both countries from Iran.
“Iran is not going away,” Mullen said. “We need to be strong and really in the deterrent mode, to not be very predictable” regarding Iran, he said in a meeting with editors and reporters at The Washington Post.
Mullen spoke on a day when Pentagon officials announced that a second U.S. aircraft carrier group, the USS Lincoln, had arrived in the Persian Gulf for a brief overlap with another carrier. Having two carriers in the Gulf will provide additional air power for strikes and reconnaissance in the combat zone, giving commanders added flexibility, said Lt. Gen. Carter F. Ham, the Joint Staff operations chief. “It allows us, also, to demonstrate to our friends and allies in the region a commitment to security in the region,” he said.

Submission – Sex Pistols

I really do wish that there was such a thing as a “Don’t Playlist” that would keep certain songs from coming up at random.
i think there’s a flag you can set in the song’s Info screen that will exclude it from a shuffle.
My iPod has been taken over by the 1980’s:
1. Planet Claire – B-52’s
2. Super Disco Breakin’ – Beastie Boys
3. King Without a Crown – ABC (I had no idea this was on there)
4. Feel it boy – Beenie Man
5. I Was Meant for the Stage – Decembrists
6. Le Disko – Shiny Toy Guns
7. Grandbags Funeral – Happy Mondays
8. Hard Days Night – Beatles
9. La Vida Tombola – Manu Chao
10. Count Basic/Speechless – Kruder and Dorfmeister
lucky 11: Down Slow – Moby
Two words: smart playlists. For a while, I was using a smart playlist in which frequency of play depended on the song’s rating (# of stars). I set up a playlist for each rating, e.g., “Rating > 1 star or last played > 6 months ago”, “Rating >2 stars or last played > 3 months ago”, etc; then created a master playlist that was the intersection set of those playlists.
Or you could just check the box in the playlist edit screen that says ‘play only checked songs’ and uncheck the songs you don’t want to play. But that’s not as much fun.
It’s okay, but there’s much better stuff on that CD. Sister Double Happiness’ cover of Two Headed Dog? The Judybats doing She Lives (in a Time of Her Own)? Even Thin White Rope’s camped-out (but really no campier than the original) Burn the Flames is pretty great.
