another week in the books over at the luxuirious confines of (insert name here). we’ve spent the week spreading musical love, seeking writing instrument advice, looking for sources of energy for your fair author, and generally having an up & down week.
going with a buddy to see hot rod tonite. gonna help another buddy fix a skylight tomorrow. gonna get my deck & addition ready for inspection tomorrow and sunday. oh, and i might just squeeze in a viewing of dr. zhivago and/or sunken treasure. can you tell bwe’s out of town?
so let’s see if we can get a decent shuffle out of the ol’ ipod this morning…
1. ride natty ride (12″ mix) – bob marley (songs of freedom disc 4)
2. jackie, dressed in cobras – the new pornographers (twin cinema)
3. cayman islands – kings of convenience (riot on an empty street)
4. vampyre – pete yorn (nightcrawler)
5. my sweet lord – george harrison (all things must pass)
6. what if you don’t fly – superdrag (regretfully yours)
7. gracie – ben folds (songs for silverman)
8. ready for it – the stills (logic will break your heart)
9. lipstick vogue – elvis costello (this year’s model)
10. (the angels wanna wear my) red shoes – elvis costello (my aim is true)
whatdya think? does the shuffle match the situation? i think not so much.
(edit: for the record, the 11th song to come up was don’t let me be misunderstood, also by elvis costello. that’s gotta be some sort of record, right? what are the odds of getting 3 songs in a row by the same artist picked randomly out of 3573 songs? they’ve gotta be pretty slim right? maybe i’ll meet my hero this weekend…gotta keep hope alive kiddos!!)
