This week is the 100th week of Out of 5 posts, and to mark the occasion, we all have our own themes, with our own 10 songs. So there's 10X as much musical goodness over there, for a week. Go over and get some!
My theme is: The 80's Didn't Really Suck. I uploaded a song from every year and here's the playlist, from 1980 to 1989:
X - Your Phone's off the Hook (But You're Not)
AC/DC - For Those about to Rock
Men At Work - Down Under
Tom Waits - 16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought-Six
Van Halen - 1984 (...what?)
Mekons - Chivalry
Beastie Boys - Hold it Now, Hit It
Straitjacket Fits - She Speeds
Pixies - Gigantic
Fugazi - Margin Walker
I think it's a pretty sweet list, and I was trying to get a variety of genres in there. Well, I kind of achieved that.
Today is just such a fucking awesome day. I spent the early afternoon just wandering around the streets enjoying the feeling of being out in January, wearing nothing on top but a t-shirt. It put me in a good mood all day, that not even the prospect of doing work right now is dimming. So to celebrate the good mood, I'm listening to the music that keeps me there.
This is probably their most well known song, off Spiderland, but all of them are great.
Also because they've been playing at CBGBs this week.
For oh, about a year now.
