CATCHING-UP BY BEING LESS FASHIONABLY LATE

So I came into the blogosphere a good three-to-four years after it was cool to do so, but I’m not going to get caught sleeping again. No sir. When I’m trying to keep-up with the cool kids now, I make sure to try to be no more than a week behind. (OK … so technically I was a little late since hiphopmusic.com got this rolling.)

Now, my disclaimer: 40 GB iPod working here with nearly 5,500 sounds currently loaded. 20 songs is like less than 0.4%. So regardless of what you think, I could never be mortified knowing that my other 5,450 songs ROCK! And it’s RANDOM. (Although looking at the beginning myself, how fucking old am I?)

Enough whining. Here goes:

1. Blues Traveler: “Gina” from Live From the Fall
2. The Thorns: “Blue” from The Thorns
3. The Verve: “One Day” from Urban Hymns
4. The Rolling Stones: “Street Fighting Man” from Beggars Banquet
5. Rod Stewart: “Maggie Mae” from Every Picture Tells a Story
6. The Moths: “Jesus Christ” from A Tribute to Big Star
7. Sigur Ros: Untitled 6 from ()
8. Alice in Chains: “Nothin’ Song” from Alice in Chains
9. Radiohead: “Backdrifts (Honeymoon Is Over)” from Hail to the Thief
10. Bad Religion: “Sanity” from All Ages
11. Wilco: “Red-Eyed and Blue” from Being There
12. Billie Holiday: “Easy Living” from The Complete Decca Recordings
13. Eric Clapton: “Promises” from Crossroads (Disc 4)
14. Frank Black: “I Heard Ramona Sing” from Frank Black
15. Dire Straits: “Sultans of Swing” from Alchemy Live
16. The Beatles: “A Day in the Life” from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
17. The Stone Roses: “Going Down” from The Complete Stone Roses
18. The Breeders: “Hag” from Last Splash
19. Shudder to Think: “Red House” from 50,000 B.C.
20. Longwave: “Pool Song” from The Strangest Things

Damn. Amazing because really, I know most of the stuff I’ve been listening too is from this decade. Really.

Play along ….
