eff. you. see. kay.track 168 was "anticipation," from blonde redhead, a band with the same gender ratio as yo la tengo (fmm). slightly different ethnic makeup, however. track 169 was "modern girls and old-fashioned men" from another new york band, the strokings, featuring regina spektor. we saw the strokes a couple of weeks ago and they were much more friendly than i anticipated. the

forkin' pitcheswhat's better than ezra (see track 152)? another old testament-named band! natch! track 153 was "invisible touch," from genesis. as a little kid i thought that "invisible touch" was a naughty song, because it sounded like phil collins was saying "and give you no tough shit," instead of "have an invisibile touch. yeah."track 154 was "don't give up;" kate bush with an ex-genesis

forget about the babytracks 145 were more bowie covers; m. ward and the futureheads covering "let's dance." both versions convey exactly the same mood and emotional experience. track 146 was the cure covering "young americans." i take exception to the decision to change the lyrics from "do you remember/president nixon" to "do you remember/president clinton."track 147 was nirvana doing bowie's

bonnaroo-roo-rootrack 141 was radiohead at bonnaroo with "arpeggi." i've been trying to get ahold of the "legendary" bonnaroo set for a while now without much luck. the torrents over at bt.etree.org are pulling the old "let's hang out at 99.9% completed for 6 hours" gag. and allow me for minute to rail against the misdirectedness of insisting on lossless compression formats like flac. you're

all together now!track 126 was another from the furnaces, "oh sweet woods," which namechecks joseph smith, who is also mentioned in title of track 127, warren hixon's "joe smith blues." if you want to hear a drunk warren hixon talk about music (his and others'), check out the arkain indie podcast. usually pretty good stuff.joseph smith, as you may or may not know, is the founder of the church of

immodest mousetrack 88 was a live version of "trailer trash" in which isaac brock's lisp is more audible than usual. track 89 was also live modest mouse, "bankrupt on selling." this is the song that i always end up playing when i try to play radiohead's "how to disappear completely."track 90 was frank black's "the vanishing spies" off of his self-titled album. linked to number 89 because it's

as if you didn't alreadyi forgot my wallet yesterday and therefore could not enter the computer lab and therefore could not update this web log.track 87 was another sun kil moon cover of another modest mouse song. does it bug anybody else that brock wrote "i feel pretty blissfully" as a lyric for that song? a guy that characterizes bukowski as "a pretty good read" should know the difference

femme fatalitynever heard these guys, but they're playing kilby later this monthgot some catching up to do. track 57 was a remix of "superpowers" from the dismemberment plan. when they broke up they made all of tracks from their master recordings available on the internet and invited people to remix them. they picked the ones they like best and put out a people's history of the dismemberment

it's snowman! take him!track 55 = "oh yoko" from john lennon, a singer from a band called the beatles, who were sampled on track 54. track 56 was "ooh la la" from the faces. both 55 and 56 were from the rushmore soundtrack.track 57track 58 (sounds really crappy at first...give it a minute)

soggiest album?track 48 (bran van 3000's version of "cum on feel the noize") was linked to enuff z'nuff by the fact the both band names rhyme with themselves. for extra linkerage power, bran van 3000 was covering another rhyming-name band, quiet riot. who were covering slade, which rhymes with nothing. track 49, sufjan stevens' "come on feel the illinoise!" track 50 was the killers with "jenny

let us not forget...track 39 was morton subotnick himself with "silver apples of the moon-part 1." track 40 was laika with "sugar daddy" off of...wait for it...silver apples of the moon. i've had the laika album sitting on my hard drive for about 4 years now and still haven't ever listened to the whole thing, but i like that track.track 41track 42

brownish-green apples of the horsetrack 36 was curritick co. with "the tropics of cancer" off of golden apples of the sun, a compilation put together by devendra banhart. i've been looking around a little bit, trying to find out where one could buy the album, if one were so inclined, but no luck so far. pitchfork says insound has it, but i'm not seeing it. itunes, mebbe? it's real damned good

do not mistake the unripe loquat for the avocado track 32 has a very long title. "royksopp - poor leno (silikon soul remix) / erlend oye - there is a light that never goes out (acapella)" off of what i consider to be the best of the dj kicks series, the one put together by erlend oye, of the kings of convenience. good track selection, good transitions, and a kick-ass cover.track 33 was loquat

leapin' lizards!track 30 was "hearbeat" from annie off of the album anniemal. pitchfork rated it as the best single of 2004, just like they rated track 29 as the best single of 2005.people like to talk badly about pitchfork (subpop, something awful, wikipedia forum), but i say, "don't slag 'em off." back in the early days of napster, when i was looking for more and more music to download, i

smoooov...this actually wasn't a bad gamethat line in track 17 ("slow jamz", kanye west featuring jamie foxx and twista off of college dropout) about michael jackson always struck me as funny. something about the way it's delivered; is it meant as an insult? or is kanye just stating the facts? anyway, that led to "beat it" off of thriller from my best friend i never met, michael jackson.stick

You want me to grab a dictionary?from druid: "beulah -- the o.c. -- phantom planet -- evan dando -- jon brion"i'm still trying to work out the evan dando bit, but this looks like a legitimate link. the one i had in mind was that both the beulah song and the phantom planet song were on the o.c.

does this sound like a musical robot?druid's answer for yesterday's track: "caps." i'm assuming he meant capital cities, and since that is a valid link between "fire in cairo," from the cure, and "washington d.c" from magnetic fields, druid has now earned the title of wizard of rhythmic enchantment.the link that i actually had in mind was that the titles of both songs are spelled out within the

curiosa and curiosaboys probably do cry...dailydruid, true to his name, posted the cryptic and inscrutable message, "warm weather?" in response to yesterday's post (track 10=interpol's "direction", track 11=the cure "fire in cairo"). the link that i had identified was that the double opened for interpol on their last u.s. tour, and interpol (along with a lot of other bands) opened for fat bob

bingo!track 9 was "blanket on a beach," by the double off of the album palm fronds. linked to track 8 by the beach. who would you rather go to the beach with; brian wilson, or the double? based on "blanket on the beach" i have to think that if you went with the double, the sea would get all grey and foamy and erupt something terrible and somebody would drown. then again, if you went with
