4 for Friday

So this is a little thing I'm going to start doing cause I've always wanted to have some sort of music feature for this blog but I didn't really know what. So on Fridays I'm just gonna hit shuffle on iTunes and post the first four songs that come up. Woohoo.

1. Jens Lekman - Run Away With Me This is one of my favorite Jens songs. I'm going to see him in a couple of weeks. I'll make sure to try to propose to him. Again.
2. Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Sink Ships This is one of those Ryan Adams songs (much like Cherry Lane or Meadowlake Street on Cold Roses) that starts out fairly standard and mediocre and then switches it up at the end and becomes just sort of amazing and transcendent. I can't really describe it any better than that, but he's really fucking good at doing it.
3. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - You Remind Me of Something (The Glory Goes) A good Bonnie song. Very nice to sing along with.
4. Einstürzende Neubauten - Good Morning Everybody And now for something completely different...German experimental noise music. I like Blixa. He's tied with Warren for title of my favorite Bad Seed.

So hopefully I'll keep my motivation and continue doing this. I will confess that I did skip posting the real third song that played because it was a 17 minute long spoken word type thing by Coil. Should I have gone ahead and posted that? I have a lot of weird shit like that that will probably pop up from time to time in doing this so I guess I should figure out if everything is fair game or if I'm going to keep it strictly "Music music".

well, by posting the rationale behind your electing not to post a given result, you also add a little more meat to the blog. and it can end up being 4, 5, or 6 for Friday.

1) Accuracy/ The Cure/ Three Imaginary Boys

2) Hoodie Ninja/ mc chris/ mc chris is dead

3) The Mountain Low/ Palace Music/ Viva Last Blues (yay!)
