Music….I listen to it in the car on my twenty-five mile commute to work. I listen to it while I work my standard eight hour shift. I also keep music playing in my house. I usually create a playlist per month on the old iPod (it really is old, it’s an iPod Mini and must be five years old) and I put it on shuffle. What the hell did I do before I had an iPod? Well…at home I had one of those clunky twenty-five CD changers (it has been retired to the basement for potential future use and replace by a cord that attaches to the iPod) and I would put that on shuffle but in the car I was stuck skipping songs on CDs….oh iPod, I am so thankful that you came along….am I talking to my iPod again?
So why the top ten list? You (the reader) might not really care what I have been listening to and to that I would say, “then stop reading now and go away (but do come back)”!
Anyway…here are ten songs that I listened to quite a bit back in October of 2008. The number one song does not necessarily mean that I think this is the best song…in other words this list is not in any particular order.
- Dead Kennedys – Buzzbomb From Pasadena (This song is a bit dangerous, makes me “put the petal to the metal” but since I drive a Kia (it’s a long story) I don’t have to worry about speed too much, the thing probably tops out at eighty MPH!)
- Digitalism – Pogo (I really don’t know much about the band Digitalism – I was turned on to them by a co-worker but they often pump music into my ears, damn good music too!)
- Modeskeletor – Happy Birthday (I was turned on to Modeskeletor from the Radiohead website)
- Metric – Give Me Sympathy (off the unreleased newest album)
- One Little Plane – The Snails Are Out (a beautiful song…simply beautiful! I think that I was turned on to this band from Mr. Yorke (Thom Yorke of Radiohead that is) – I don’t know him personally but he sure does have good taste!)
- Radiohead – Last Flowers To The Hospital (I just can’t get enough of this one…as a matter of fact, I am going to listen to it now!)
- Stone Roses – Fools Gold (aka “I Am The Resurrection” – this one takes me way back to 1989)
- UNKLE – What Are You To Me (it’s just a great song! that’s all!)
- Portishead – Machine Gun (the name couldn’t be more fitting, this song really does resemble the sound of a machine gun, wait…a terrific sounding machine gun?)
- Metric – Joyride (from the unreased new album (possible album title? ‘Help I Am Alive’ – this one was number one for September)
