Bus Stop (The Hollies): Nice, upbeat start to the playlist this week. Love story on a bus stop. It's one of two songs in my collection mentioning a bus stop (Don't Stand So Close To Me by The Police being the other).

Cabaret (Louis Armstrong): I'm seeing many movies in the next couple of weeks at the Milwaukee Film Festival. The films are a great escape, which Armstrong encourages in this song.
Abacab (Genesis): I've started liking this song again, particularly the last few minutes.
Man (Neko Case): From her latest, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You. Case is a singer that I can usually handle for a few songs, but her voice grates on me after a while. I like the rebellious tone in this one, though.
Introspection (MGMT): Another new song, this one from MGMT's self-titled latest. I listened to the entire CD, and there's very few catchy hooks, but this one reminded me of an early 70s song.
Kids (MGMT): This one has a very unique music video, and it's probably MGMT's second catchiest song (after "Electric Feel")

The Orchids (Califone): The only Califone song that I like, it's a song about appreciating what's around.

Out of Touch (Hall And Oates): To the 80s! My favorite Hall & Oates song.
It's The End of The World As We Know It (REM): Speaking of singers I can only take in small doses, this is my favorite REM song.
My top 5 REM songs:
1. It's The End Of The World As We Know It
2. Drive
3. Bang And Blame
4. I Don't Sleep, I Dream
5. The One I Love
The Great Divide (The Mowglis): I think this might be the last time on the playlist for this song. I liked it the first couple times, but it's a little too shouty.
Fragments of Time (Daft Punk): There's just something about this song off Random Access Memories that I really love. It's kind of retro and chill.
Perfect World (Huey Lewis And The News): My favorite Huey Lewis song, and I like me some Huey Lewis.

You Don't Know Me (The Polyphonic Spree): Unlike "The Great Divide", this one has grown on me.
Get Back (The Beatles): Time for some classics with some whoopin' Paul.
You've Got To HIde Your Love Away (The Beatles): Probably my favorite song from the movie Help!. It's a forlorn song from John, but a heartfelt one.
Ants Marching (Dave Matthews Band): I'm probably not going to any more Dave Matthews Band shows (I just haven't like what I've heard of them on live recordings since LeRoi Moore passed away and Tim Reynolds joined the live lineup), so it's a shame that I didn't get to hear this one in my four shows.
California Dreamin' (The Mamas And The Papas): When I put this playlist together, a little autumn chill was in the air. Man, did it change again. It won't be long before we're dreaming of the summer weather again.
