Songs of the Week (9/18/06): Just press 2 for a while.

As of the addition of TV on the Radio's "Return ot Cookie Mountain" to my iTunes collection, I now have 2,222 songs in my digital possession. Which leads me into a sticky situation: Do I add more music, or do I bask in my number-coded glory for a while? As for the songs that will be getting me through this week:

Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years (New rule: If you don't like this song, then you aren't very smart)
Steely Dan - My Old School (Ditt-to)
Yo La Tengo - Daphnia (I've played this song 20 times now. It is 8 and a half minutes long)
Yo La Tengo - Beanbag Chair (The album, FYI, is called "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your ***")
The Album Leaf - The Light
The Album Leaf - Red Eye (Lotta new music this week; just made a Virgin Records Run)
TV on the Radio - Province
TV on the Radio - I Was a Lover
Junior Boys - Bellona
Junior Boys - Last Exit
Boy Kill Boy - Suzie
Ashley Parker Angel - Let U Go (I do what I want)
Cursive - At Conception

Ee tee see.

 

not that I'm a huge fan of pupular music, but the new song by Hinder, Lips of and Angel, kicks arse.

 

Ok, I've gotten on this huge Alkaline Trio kick lately, with songs from Goddammit through Crimson stuck in my head. I'll just list a few:

Alkaline Trio - Sadie
Alkaline Trio - Mr. Chainsaw
Alkaline Trio - We've Had Enough
Alkaline Trio - Clavicle
Alkaline Trio - Deathbed
Alkaline Trio - Donner Party
Alkaline Trio - All in Black
Alkaline Trio - You're Dead

I don't know what brought it on, but it's all I can listen to right now.

 

My collection is up to 10,389 songs now. I need an 80 GB iPod!!!

Topping the popularity playlist lately:
The Format - The First Single
The Format - Wait, Wait, Wait
Rocktopus - Get Away
Party Ben - Walking With a Ghost in Paris (Tegan and Sara vs. Mylo)
The entire As Fast As album Open Letter to the Damned.

 

I'd wait until Xmas, the recent updates aren't enough for the shopping systems.



My list is pretty much everything Weezer has ever recorded(minus the last album), McLucky, and Cake.

 

Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

 

Akino Arai - Flower Crown
Akino Arai - Goddess in the Morning
Akino Arai - Voices
Akino Arai - wanna be an Angel

Every Little Thing - Swimy

 

Meshuggah - Sum
Beethoven - String Quartets collection
Explosions in the Sky - all of The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place

Orchestra project's put me in a weird mood. Assorted Gregorian chant. And some Telemann.

By the way, nice Mitch Hedberg reference.

 

I've been listening to Money For Nothing by Dire Straits recently.

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour tvs

 

Should I be concerned that, of all the bands listed here, the only ones I know are Steely Dan and Beethoven?
