The 17 this week brings a noisy middle of the set (a little too noisy, if I'm being honest) and a mellow finish.
Golden Years (David Bowie): This is turning into my favorite Bowie song. It's funky, catchy, and just fun.
This Must Be Love (Phil Collins): I love Phil Collins' lesser known songs much more than his hits, and this love song from Face Value is one of my favorites.
I Could Be A King (The Dunwells): The Dunwells are back, and there's something kind of '80s about this track that I like.
Dear Lord (Give Me The Strength) (Preservation Hall Jazz Band): I dig this gospel tune quite a bit.
Mylo Xyloto (Coldplay): Sometimes I like me a little short instrumental intro.
Two Step (Bear Mountain): It's not a cover of the Dave Matthews Band song, but a poppy electronic song.
You Don't Know Me (Polyphonic Spree): Another new song, and another bouncy one.
Color Of My Soul (Pretty Lights): Still like this one that I first heard last week.
Home Life (John Mayer): Mr. Mayer sings about wanting to be domestic and lays down a funky sound.
Bring On The Night (The Police): Sting always used the first couple verses as an intro to "When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around" in concert, but I like the whole song.
Dance On A Volcano (Genesis): Once again with Phil Collins, the obscure stuff rules, although the end is a little wacky to me.
Electric Feel (MGMT): I was introduced to this very danceable song by my brother a couple of years ago, and the excellent music video features the animatronic band from Showbiz Pizza.
Gentle On My Mind (Glen Campbell): Going in the complete opposite direction, this was the first time I heard this ballad. Beautiful song.
Long Black Veil (Johnny Cash): One of my all time favorite songs. Very haunting.
Heaven On A Sunday (Paul McCartney): Such a mellow, blissful mood created on this tune.
Under The Skin (Lindsey Buckingham): For the second straight week, a relaxing song near the end. This one's a good one for a "chill out" playlist.
It Beats 4 U (My Morning Jacket): I have an interesting relationship with My Morning Jacket. I don't get into many of their songs, really, but I love the ones that do reel me in, like this one, "First Light", or "Off The Record"
