I’m doing a CD exchange with a friend, and here are the liner notes for the disc I made:
A Good Idea (Sugar) – best song from high school years. Great bass line.
Luckily I Keep My Feathers Numbered For Just Such An Emergency (King Cobb Steelie) – Chaos never sounded so funky.
Come Ova (Bumblebeez 81) – I believe I’ve mentioned this one before. Still buzzes along quite nicely.
Ages & Stages (The Meligrove Band) – So new, it still has that new-song smell to it. What happens when you give the emo kids instruments of mass distraction.
Feels Just Like It Should (with New Middle
(Jamiroquai) – Recreational drug use has never sounded so funky.
Galang 05 (M.I.A.) – If more people danced to this song instead of fought wars, the world would be a better place.
Stand Back (Stevie Nicks) – Do not piss her off. Ever.
Northern Lights (Super Furry Animals) – Just when you thought the Welsh were all about Dylan Thomas, it turns out they like bossanovas, too.
When I Get To The Border (Linda and Richard Thompson) – Everything will get better when you get to the border.
Tiger Lily (Luna) – My theme song throughout high school.
Baby (Martha Wainwright) – Fragile. Oh so fragile. Like spun sugar castles.
The Grace (Neverending White Lights featuring Dallas Green) – I’m still in awe.
Decara a la Pased (Lhasa) – Best saved for rainy days.
Oleander (Sarah Harmer) – An Apalachian-esque ode to a plant.
Get Up (Starkicker) – Long before Alexisonfire and The Trews, there was Starkicker.
Workin’ Class Blues (Zildo Ildo) – Are you pushing the paper or is the paper pushing you?
Size of a Cow (Wonderstuff) – Please make sure your tongue is firmly in cheek and your trays are locked in the upright position.
Angel of Montgomery (Leslie Split Tree-o) – Another oldie. Country after a hard night’s drinking.
Pressure Drop (Toots & the Maytals) – Ending it on a mellow note.
