truffle shuffle – 5.11.07 (always on time mix)

May.11.07

1. damn i wish i was your lover – eels (sophie b hawkins cover, live)
2. that girl – stevie wonder (original musiquarium 1, volume 2)
3. slow jamz – kanye west (the college dropout)
4. a warning – thievery corporation (sounds from the thievery hi-fi)
5. hangover days – jason collett (idols of exile)
6. a goodbye rye – richard buckner (devotion & doubt)
7. chasing ghosts with alcohol – gomez (how we operate)
8. singular girl – old 97’s (satellite rides bonus disc)
9. our love – rhett miller (the instigator)
10. friend of a friend – foo fighters (in your honor)

okay, so it’s apparent that we’ve got a womens and alcohol theme going today. interesting.

a quick note about my methodology here. i’m using my ipod, so i don’t have the party mix option. so i select shuffle songs, which just starts playing songs at random. if i run across a podcast, a sound clip from a movie or a symphonic piece (2 of the 3 happened today), i’ll skip it.

for what it’s worth, i’d highly recommend checking out any or all of the artists on this week’s list. in particular, and because you might not be familiar with them, go check out jason collett, richard buckner and gomez. good stuff.

over & out.

truffle shuffle – 5.9.07 (supposed to be from 5.4.07)

May.9.07

just realized i didn’t post a shuffle on friday. don’t want to pick up any more bad habits, so i’m posting it a few days late.

1. ride – nick drake (pink moon)
2. all i need tonite – newton dominey (heater). seriously. i want to not include this, but it came up, so i will. score one for the ego stroke.
3. avenues – ryan adams (live from exit/in 10.28.99)
4. pony soldiers – nfl films music
(i don’t know where we’re going with this, but there’s a travel theme going with a bit of spaghetti western thrown in)
5. in the end – the stills (without feathers)
6. congratulations – traveling wilburys (the first record. what was the name?)
7. skating – vince guaraldi trio (charlie brown christmas)
8. surfer girl – the beach boys (endless summer)
9. rockstar – ben folds (sunny 16 ep)
10. here today – the beach boys (pet sounds)

no time for psychoanalysis, but i bet there’s a theme here if i really look for it. if you know these songs, feel free to offer up your suggestions on what the pattern is.

marital problems

May.9.07

bwe has betrayed me.

i can’t believe she didn’t tell me.

i don’t know when, or even if, i can recover.

i’ve been walking around like a zombie for the past four days.

i mean, c’mon, if you’re going to switch the coffee to decaf, you should at least tell your husband.

unbelievable…
