Leave a comment with five songs to put on my ipod that you think are mandatory
I’ll listen to pretty much anything. My latest has been that new Gnarls Barkley. I’ve been enjoying classic Iggy Pop, I always love 70s “sex you up” soul and I’m fairly sure Willie Nelson could sing the Constitution and I’d love it - although that Reggae album was not his best.
Feed my pod please.
You SO wouldn’t like my music!
Aimee Mann — Save Me
My Bloody Valentine — Sometimes
Jesus and Mary Chain — Just Like Honey
Snow Patrol — Chasing Cars
Snow Patrol — When It’s All Over, We Still Have To Clear Up
Bonus song:
Snow Patrol — An Olive Grove Facing The Sea
Um, I’m not sure you would like the eclectic morass that’s on my ipod!
Dar Williams - Mark Rothko Song (just because that’s what’s playing right now and I love it)
Ginny Clee - C’est la Fucking Vie (available free from her website)
The Mountain Goats - This Year
The Mountain Goats - Dance Music
Badly Drawn Boy - The Shining (Avalanches… mix)
Peaches- The Stranglers
Five Years - Seu Jorge
Ghost Town- The Specials
Can You Get To That- Funkadelic
Stay All Night- Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys
How’s that for all over the place??
Elvis Costello: Shipbuilding
U2: Beautiful Day
REM: Nightswimming
REM: At My Most Beautiful (My wedding song)
Stevie Wonder: I Wish
Bonus (surprises even me!):
They Might Be Giants:
AnnaNG
Most of the music that I listen to, you already know about. In fact, you’re the one who introduced me to a lot of it. There are a few bands I’ve been meaning to check out, but haven’t gotten around to it. So, bands I’m not sure either of us would like, but which someone told me I would:
Blueberry Boat (I’m not sure if this is the name of a band, or an album)
Go Team (recommended by someone that used to be in a band with the drummer, seconded by someone who saw them at an outdoor festival in New Zealand)
Gypsy Punks (listened to them in a car on the way to the Hoover Dam - they were certainly funny, but I’m not certain they were good).
and to get to 5 - I bought the last Gorillaz album, and it’s really good. And there was a song called “Trampoline” that 98.1 used to play that I’ve been meaning to buy, but I can’t remember who the artist was.
I love me some mash-ups, so I’ll recommend a few of my faves…
Are You Gonna Be My Animal? (Jet vs. Animal)
Somebody Rock Me (The Clash vs. The Killers)
Bizarre Light Triangle (Madonna vs. New Order)
My Other Car is a Beatle (L’Trimm vs. Gary Numan vs. The Beatles)
Lick it Wild (Tone Loc vs. Roula)
Mash-ups seem to be an acquired taste, so I hope you like ‘em.
For me these are my must have:
this family (kids and I are huge Coldplay fans)
White Shadows - Coldplay
Fix You - Coldplay
Speed of Sound - Coldplay
I’m Not Okay (I Promise) - My Chemical Romance
I’m Not Sorry - Madonna (Confession on the Dancefloor)
a little mixed up - but those are my favorites. Some to reflect with, some to vent with and some to dance with.
WOW! Now that is a loaded question… I only have about 800 songs on my iPod in classical, country, rock, alternative, punk and musical genres. It depends on what mood I am in for what I would recommend. Since it is early in the morning and I have no clue what I am doing out of bed and dressed, here is what I will go with off of the top of my head:
Love and Memories - OAR
Gainesville Rock City - Less than Jake
I Think I love You - The Partridge Family
Wrap Your Arms Around Me - Barenaked Ladies
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
Ford Econoline–Nanci Griffith
Wish the Worst– Old 97’s
Brilliant Mistake — Elvis Costello
Red Dragon Tattoo — Fountains of Wayne
New York, New York– Ryan Adams
Some artists I haven’t seen…
Running on Faith- Eric Clapton
Alone- Ben Harper
Home- Michael Buble
Not a pretty girl- Ani Difranco
Moses- Patti Griffin
1. The only living boy in New York, Simon and Garfunkel
2. You’ve lost me there, Cardinal
3. Evolve, Ani DiFranco
4. Hoppípolla, Sigur Rós (well, the whole Takk album, actually)
