Each week, I make a playlist of 17 songs, often with songs that I haven't yet heard or recently just got into. Here's what I listened to this week and some impressions:
August 9, 2013
In Ohio (Joseph Arthur)- short little intro
I Can See For Miles (The Who)- This may be my favorite Who song.
The Great Divide (The Mowglis)- I'm on the fence about this song (free from Google Play Store) Catchy but could get obnoxious
Tennessee (Arrested Development)- first time I've heard this song (also from GPS). Cool song.
Crush (Dave Matthews Band)- classic song from my favorite band.
Doubting Thomas (Nickel Creek)- A tender song about pessimism
Color Of My Soul (Pretty Lights)- first time I've heard this one. Pretty innovative stuff. (from GPS)
The Man Who Wants You (Amos Lee)- new single from Amos Lee. I really enjoyed Mission Bell, but this song is just OK.
Something To Talk About (Bonnie Raitt)- from GPS. I think I've heard this song a million times, but not recently.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Tears For Fears)- a song from the 80s that holds up well today. One of my favorite songs in terms of setting a mood (somber but melodic).
Stairway To Heaven (Rodrigo Y Gabriela)
Buster Voodoo (Rodrigo Y Gabriela)- from the excellent 11:11 album
The Riff (Dave Matthews Band)- an adventurous song from their latest release.
Go Insane (Lindsey Buckingham)- Lindsey Buckingham does unhinged very well. This is from his "Live at the Bass Performance Hall". Not as great as the hard to find version from The Dance
I Could Be A King (The Dunwells)- also from the GPS. First listen, and first impression yields a catchy, bouncy tune.
Beg Steal or Borrow (Ray LaMontagne)- one of the few songs I liked from God Willing and The Creek Don't Rise. It has a nice shuffle to it and some jangly slide guitar.
Step (Vampire Weekend)- from the GPS. The only song of Vampire Weekend's that I've heard, and I do like it. Interested in hearing more from Vampire Weekend. I've only seen their appearance on SNL, and they seem quirky to the point of precious, but I do want to give them a listen.
Breathe (Alexi Murdoch)- A quiet song to close it out. This is a good song to play at the end of a stressful day (or in the middle of one).
"Keep your head above water, but don't forget to breathe"
