Music: October 2008 Archives

(The toddler requests music thusly)

I've gotten to go to a fair number of concerts over the last couple years, including the Decembrists, Manu Chao, Hot Chip, Hot Hot Heat, Death Cab for Cutie, Charlie Hunter, Spoon, Nick Cave, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival where I heard (if not saw) Elvis Costello and Gogol Bordello, and this week, Stereolab. I'm sure I forgot a couple more. Not bad for a mother, although most of the credit needs to go to my friend Edith, who keeps urging me to get out of the house and has an uncanny ability to score great tickets.

Next up: Charlie Hunter again, and Jonathan Richman...

Spotted on Andrewsullivan.com.

(The song is "I Don't Blame You" by Cat Power, off of You Are Free.)

The normally wonderful emusic posts a Sarah Palin-themed compilation.

So I came up with a suggested playlist of my own (which I posted in a review, but you have to be logged in to see). Please note that these are all REAL songs available on emusic.

"Lying" - Chain Link Fence
"Lying" - Michael Watts
"Lying" - Whitney and the Tales
"Lying" - Joanna De Seyne
"Lying" - Vince Falzone
"So Full Of Shit You're Poisonous" - The Horror
