Wee music post.

+ First of all, everyone who's not listening to The Go!Team is totally missing out. *Thank la_sikka

+ Secondly, everyone needs The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny in their lives, because any song where Batman, Shaq O'Neal and Aaron Carter duke it out cannot be missed. OMG, now with video! (A bit gory. Rated PG-13 or 15) *Thank ethrosdemon

+ Thirdly, I have been giving Ryan Adams a lot of shit here recently, because IMO he's been swapping quality for quantity, but slodwick reminded me late last year that even in the wreckage, Ryan always gives you something tiny to hold onto. From the Demolition LP, which I wrote off when it came out in 2002, I present Hallelujah, which should not be written off in any way with lyrics like Every I night I throw you out, leave you stranded on the boulevard. You know that I used you up, I used you like I used them all. It's got strains of 'Come Pick Me Up' not in the instrumentation, but in the sentiment, and you know how I love *that* song.

+ Fourth, someone asked me to reupload Pink Martini's Je ne veux pas travailler, because who can get enough of a song about doing fuck all?

Revisit of the day: Jeff Buckley 'Satisfied Mind'

I hope to get some writing in this space sooner rather than later, but alas, I am not inspired at all, so in the meantime enjoy the music. Also, thanks to literaryll, zoniduck, epj and la_sikka for their generiosity.

ETA: I'm not a supporter of American football, but amberlynne has a Tom Brady mix here for those who are into him.

I comment all of, um, never, but I love your music posts. There's always something new and fun, which is definitely what my iPod needs right now, heh. And I haven't heard that Ryan Adams song before, but those lyrics - yes. Thanks so much for posting these!! ♥

Oooh, thanks for the Go!Team rec. Every year should start with the discovery of a great band.

My brain has 'sploded with the awesomeness.

Thank you for totally making my day.

Music woo! :D That reminds me - I've been meaning to ask you something about Ryan Adams since I know you are such a big fan of his. I read a long time ago that he did a bunch of covers of Strokes songs - do you know anything about this? *crosses fingers*

I'm so very fond of your music posts and I feel sad that I never seem to able to reciprocate. I just hope that one of these days I might be able to! Anyway, thanks a bunch for Jeff Buckley.

Th Go! Team are so fucking catchy. You hear the beat and it's required that you get off your ass and Dance!
