ok, i’m ashamed to admit it, but i’ll come out of the closet. i like that Darkness song. in spite of their ridiculous video. and the lead singer’s ridiculous unitard. and the general 80s hair metal affectation. but aaaaaah it’s just such a catchy song!
the rest of the playlist:
* hives – hate to say i told you so (yea, it’s been out for a while, but 103.1 has been playing it lately and i was reminded how good it is)
* the bens – just pretend
* elastica – connection (does anyone have stutter? i think that’s my fav elastica song, but no one seems to have it)
* belle and sebastian – gigantic (twee goes pixies! well, it’s not really any b&s person singing, just some audience member, but it’s charming nevertheless)
* pixies – hey (i totally love this song)
* breeders – cannonball (/channelling kim deal…)
* stone temple pilots – wicked garden
* britney spears – toxic (pop bliss)
* dsico – groove’s a bitch (mix of dee-lite’s “groove is in the heart”, missy elliot’s “she’s a bitch” and basement jaxx’s “jus one kiss”… really really good!)
* ebtg – single (photek remix)
* janet jackson – someone to call my lover
* no doubt – sunday morning
* frente! – labour of love
* yeah yeah yeahs – maps (amazingly good)
* death cab for cutie – we looked like giants
* radiohead – there there, 2+2=5
on deck:
* massive attack, ebtg, guster, erasure, juno reactor. (thanks, brian!!! :D)
* feening for some cure…… robert smith makes a return with a b-sides release, an appearance on a blink-182 album, and new covers of his old tunes (311’s cover of “Love Song” appears on the 50 First Dates soundtrack).
* all the other music that’s on my dead-for-the-moment desktop computer. [wince]
why is your desktop dead?
