Late as usual... just like getting my pubes.

So, this was at least partially my idea, and then I totally forgot it existed; so I supposed its about time that I posted something. So here we go. I can't think of anything particularly enthralling that I've been listening to lately, so I'm going to play the put my whole mp3 player on random game, and list the first 10 songs that I think are worthy of mention/make me happy/aroused/nostalgic/annoyed. Enjoy!

1) Mos Def - Love, from the album Black on Both Sides. First song to come up, and its good. If you don't listen to Mos Def, give it a shot, you'll like. Probably the only black guy to ever say "abacus". Well, since the Moors.

2) The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory - Guided by Voices, from the album Bee Thousand. Second song to come up, and also very good. If you've never listened to them, they're in my opinion a precursor to such bands as Neutral Milk, Built to Spill and Modest Mouse... Modest Mouse even opened for them on ACL, the show, not the fest.

3) Missed the Friction - Self, from Subliminal Plastic Motives. Loved these guys in high school, and am always pleased when they come on the playlist. So far mp3 player is 3 for 3. Awesome.

4) Scarecrow - Beck. Kinda pointless to put Beck on here cause he's universally awesome. I'm just amazed at the random selection from 3000 songs being so good. 4/4... eventually a very shitty annoying song like Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz is going to have to pop in there. I hope.

Tangent -do you ever walk around and imgaine what peoples' genitals look like? I mean not in a sexual way or anything, and gender blind. Just like ,"Man, I bet he/she has some weird looking junk." And then you start to imagine everyone you see having disgusting genitals. The kind that make Cyrus's look normal. Snap!

Tangent PS - Does the song This is How We Do It - Montel Jordan ever make you think of Westlake teenagers playing lacrosse in board shorts by their parents' giant pool? Me neither...

5) The Last High - Dandy Warhols, from Welcome to the Monkey House. When I was fourteen at a warehouse music, I was torn between buying their album that was out at the time with the song Heroin is so Passe or whatever its called, and Blink 182 Dude Ranch. I went with Blink. I guess I've come full circle... good song, good album.

6) Sailor Song - Regina Spektor, from Soviet Kitsch. I can't say enough good things about her, and I'd have to imagine everyone listens already; but if not, you should start. I'd have a crush on her if she wasn't such a Jew. Maybe I can just get her to sing into a sock... (you know what I'm talking about, and if you don't, who are you?)

7) Go Junior, Go Senior - Junior Senior (duh). Another one of those that probably doesn't need to be posted, but I'm stickin with what the player gives me, and I still like it. And still no Pretty Boy Floyd. Junior Senior will make you want to dance even if you just watched your dog get hit by a semi.

8) When You're Thrown - The Thermals, from Fuckin' A (See Regina Spektor, minus the Jew judgement.) One of my favorite bands forever, lo-fi just like Guided By Voices. I didn't see them recently because I was broke... bummer.

9) Open Arms - Journey. Hey, there we go! Finally something horrible. What was that asshat's name that DJ made live with us Cyrus? All he listened to was Journey and he thought it was amazing that we knew girls? Shit... I can't remember right now, but that guy sucked fat balls. I can still hear him asking me to turn the TV down all summer at 10pm, when I had the volume at such a low level I had to strain to hear it. I'm sure he's working for the GOP somewhere now...

10) Bonus Track - Ol Dirty Bastard, from Nigga Please. I couldn't have imagined a better closing song for my list. He ends the song talking about a girl sticking her tongue all up in his ass, classic. I should remember that he existed for when I get asked, "If you could have lunch with three people, living or dead...?"

Thus concludes my listing, and my fouth Lone Star. I'm going to go make Scot run around the block five times and then stick it in his sweaty mangina, cause baby I like it rawwwwwwww.

Love,

Eric
