You said it. I think the iPod has probably saved my marriage. I just put it on and crank it up when my wife wants to watch dumb TV. It prevents me from making endless sarcastic remarks and pissing her off.

TS how is your back? I can empathise - I screwed mine up a while ago and am still not over it.

Anyway, my list for today is:

7. Gene By Gene - Blur
   
8. I Won't Back down - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
   
9. Thanks for Your Time - Gotye
   
10. Patience - Lloyd Cole and the Commotions

1. Morrissey, Glamorous Glue
2. Ima Robot, Dangerous Life
3. Roxy Music, Out of the Blue
4. Ima Robot, 12=3

Ha, somebody was like, "Dude, save the strip club music for the strip club." So those classics were not a hit.

Ima Robot, Dangerous Life

Saw Ima Robot a few years ago, and never have I wanted to punch a performer in the face more . Black Jettas was a cool song, though.

Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops

Why do I imagine that if JetBlast were to get sick and wind up at the hospital, his dad would visit a vinyl shop looking for the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You." "Folsom Prison Blues" Cash "Mozart Quartet No.2 in D" Quartetto Italiano "Rainbows and Pots of Gold" Stereophonics "Kingdom of Heaven" The 13th Floor Elevators (speaking of High Fidelity...) "Cry Me A River" Julie London "Salty Dog" Flogging Molly "Can't Stand Losing You" The Police "Tea For One" Led Zeppelin "Amanda Cecilia (Live Portland 11-14-97)" Elliott Smith "Radio #1" Air

Wait. What? Birdy Nam Nam?!?!?!


I read this list around 4 hours ago and this name didn't register in my brain. 10 minutes ago, I went to clean my parakeet's cage...remembered your affinity for parrots...and then the world all started to make sense.

Birdy Nam Nam is presumably a reference to Peter Sellers' The Party. In which case, doubleplusgood.

My roster for today ...

1. Duk Koo Kim - Sun Kil Moon
   
2. Superman (It's Mot Easy) - Five For Fighting
   
3. Miss Chatelaine - k.d.lang
   
4. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones
   
5. So Says I - The Shins
   
6. A Lack of Color - Death Cab for Cutie
   
7. Jane Says - Jane's Addiction
   
8. Zero - Smashing Pumpkins
   
9. Sex and Candy - Marcy Playground
   
10. Darkness - The Human League

I guess the last one comes under "guilty pleasures".

Nah, my dad would probably go with "Stairway to Heaven"

I have taken a lot of tastes from my dad, he is a music buff and likes to play music really loud in the house, so after a while I've grown used to it and actually like the music he plays.
