Before I get started I just want to say that Elbow, Doves, and Badly Drawn Boy are painfully underexposed to American audiences.
Okay. I feel better now.
Save A Little Room For Me – John Wesley Harding
She’s A Jar – Wilco
The Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts – Minutemen
Sorrow In the Wind – Emmylou Harris
The Storm – Doves
Compulsion – Miles Davis
Rifles – Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Mother’s Lament – Cream
That’s Not My Name – The Ting Tings
Step It Up – Stereo MC’s
And because the little teabaggers understand, #11: She’s The One – Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band (Live at Hammersmith Odeon)
Thanks (once again) to Nancy in Ephrata for the books & music, particularly the Cheever biography. You’re swell.
Now here’s some Badly Drawn Boy because Elliot Smith is dead.

Saw Ornette Coleman once, but only because Jerry did a benefit with him. Turns out he was one of Garcia’s influences. This track is not very loveable, though, unless you are in an agitated pissed off state.

I think maybe my iPod is trying to help end the Cuban embargo. Maybe. Slowly.
Just a quick not to say that Damon Gough, aka Badly Drawn Boy, recorded the music for the film About A Boy at the studio I was working at in ‘02. Really sweet, talented guy, with a ton of music in his head.
And he chain-smoked and never took the knit cap off. It’s his thang.

Galaxie 500 ”Oblivious” Today
Wow. I just have to comment on how much my “bog” set sucks. British blues rock hovering on the edge of metal followed by euroweenie techno followed by ’70s high life music seguéing into roots country pot rock lurching into symphonic Zappa followed by Prussian trip hop that in no way properly sets up some dark indie rock that surprisingly slides into some Roxy Music well. From there to blues to flamenco to Mali thug rock.
Worst set ever. Dude, your name is just NOT conducive to good music searches.
[unknown Ethiopian artist] – Bhmgnot Alnorem
Tinariwen – Assoul

Lene Lovich – The Night
Sonantes – Mambobit

Nick Cave – Something’s Gotten Hold of My Heart
Gun Club – Walkin’ with the Beast
Thin White Rope – The Fish Song
Some Malian thug rock, but sadly no Prussian trip hop.
I must be getting old and out of touch since almost all of you have a ton of stuff I’ve never even heard of.
I’m also a day late … so maybe I should just STFU and get on with it.

And the “that list was mediocre at best and, damn, do I have too many ‘greatest hits’ albums” bonus track:
“Spoilin’ For A Fight” — AC/DC — Black Ice
Meh.
The Doves are not underexposed in my house.
