Random Songs on My iPod.

  1. "There She Goes Again" by R.E.M. This is a live version of the Velvet Underground song recorded in 1983 in Madison. Sounds like a fun night.
  2. "Sex Sux (Amen)" by The Vaselines. Lots of fuzzy guitar.
  3. "16 Military Wives" by The Decemberists. Haven't the slightest idea what this song is about but am guessing it's pretty political Fun and catchy nonetheless.
  4. "Earthmover" by The Festering Rinyanyons. A loud, loud band from DeKalb, Illinois.
  5. "The Pick-Up" by Sufjan Stevens. I'm pretty sure I could take on Sufjan and his 30-piece band in a fight.
  6. "Let's Pretend" by Josh Berman. I just picked this up on Wednesday. It's very jazzy but in a good way. I grew up with Josh and he's a great guy. We hung out a lot in high school when he was first learning the cornet - he sounded awful and it gave me a headache. To hear this now is truly amazing. Go buy it. Now. You'll love it.
  7. "Poor Places" by Wilco. The live version recorded at like the Park West. Eh.
  8. "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" by Sleater-Kinney. I'd also accept being your Marky Ramone.
  9. "I'm Not a Punk" by The Descendents. It's true, I'm not.
  10. "Two Steps Back" by the Fall. I'm not a punk. I'm more of a post-punk.
  11. "Talking Bird" by Death Cab For Cutie. I picked up the most recent Death Cab record sometime last year and never really listened to it. Is it any good?
  12. "I Don't Know" by The Beastie Boys. I don't know this song.
  13. "Go Fun Burn Man" by Mission of Burma. Live version from a compilation.
  14. "What We Do Is a Secret" by The Germs. Not my favorite band ever.
  15. "Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie. Mick Ronson played guitar.

#15 … and on stage Bowie fell to his knees and pretended to play Ronson’s guitar with his teeth, which looked very sexy. I used to teach this song to my students in South Korea … it wasn’t actually that useful in conversational English … it seemed funny at the time.
