Don’t normally cotton to memes, but ieatrice got desperate for new music and tagged me... and I can’t properly format stuff in her comments section (if you know what I mean).
So, here, ten songs I’ve been listening to on repeat, in a sort of raw/cooked mix-tape order:
1) Hard-Fi - Cash Machine, Stars of CCTV
2) Nine Inch Nails – Only, With Teeth
3) Thunderbirds Are Now! - From: Skulls, Justamustache
4) Wolf Parade - You Are a Runner and I am My Father’s Son, s/t EP
5) Art Brut - Good Weekend, Bang Bang Rock n’ Roll
6) Michael Penn – Walter Reed, Mr. Hollywood Jr., 1947
7) Sufjan Stevens – The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us!, Illinois
8) The Diggs - Trouble Everyday, Orange EP
9) Cloud Cult – Rockwell, Advice From the Happy Hippopotamus
10) Death Cab For Cutie – I Will Follow You Into the Darkness, Plans
I listen to albums more than singles, though, and was tempted to put ten songs from that Cloud Cult CD. Still my albumoftheyear, and I can’t wait to see them at the Brooklyn Vegan-curated show at Tonic on Tuesday, 9/13 (Tickets ($8!) are at Other Music and online at online Ticketweb).
Am also looking forward to seeing The Diggs – I really do love that song – during their residency at Sin-é (8/25 (with COMA), 9/1, and 9/9).
