(Where the fuck do I get these Sonic Youth songs?) "When Love Comes To me", by The Association (i love this band, mellow but oddly off-kilter)ġ."Coca Neon Kamera Sutra" by Sonic Youth now it sounds old, but without the nostalgia that all the massive attack et al has for me. it would have been my very favourite had it come out in 1998, which is when it sounds like it comes from. "Days Of The Gun", by Martina Topley-Bird (haven't really listened to this album yet. search 'mountains of love' and 'perfection' too)ĩ. "Fade Away", by Juliana Hatfield (it's cliched to say that the unreleased album is the best, but 'god's foot' has at least three of juliana's best songs ever, including 'fade away', probably her heaviest song ever. how does his voice sound so pristine? it's incredible.)ħ. "Summer Days" by Phoenix (not one of their more prominent songs. this is also the first time i've played this song, apparently)Ħ. "Losing My Religion", by REM (it's a 90's afternoon, according to iTunes. (remember that dog! this is a pretty song, it sounds very high-school)ĥ. "Andrew McCarthy", by Saint Etienne (a more fleshed out version of 'hill street connection', quaint and lovely as ever, very 70's)Ĥ. stylish to a fault, but a nice bit of fluss. this is from some soundtrack in the last 90's, and damn if it doesn't sound just like it. "Song For Holly", by Esthero (i'd forgotten all about Esthero. "Natalie", by Stephen Duffy (sleeker than most duffy singles, maybe a little overwrought with all the violin, but a nice song nonetheless)Ģ. Tony Rice, 'Fine as Fine Can Be'(bluegrass legend does Lightfoot. bit of song from the obscure 'girl at her volcano' release)ġ0. Rickie Lee Jones, 'So Long'(really beautiful, string section and rhodes piano, 2 min.
an exquisite bridge, 'symmetrical and clean')ĩ. the song is gorgeous and sleek, as luxury sedan as ever. there's some degree of exploitation, but not quite kiddie smut, i'm sure. it's about movies, but i can't quite work out if it's porno or not. Steely Dan, 'Pixeleen'(my favourite song off the last album. this didn t make the cut, but i kept it anyways, god knows why. Survivor, 'The Search Is Over' (so I made my partner a cd of the ultimate power ballads. Mandalay, 'I Don't Want the Night To End'(pretty dull, to be honest. The Lilac Time, 'Jupe Longue'(one of Nick Duffy's circular banjo instrumentals, from the only Lilac album I haven't fallen in love with yet.)Ħ. Blueboy, 'Try Happiness'(so lovely, so twee, i love them so)ĥ. the Supremes, 'Nothing but Heartaches'(good, not their best, but I love the Supremes. the video is great he's rehearsing his 'fly over the crowd' stunt, and in the last chorus we see the actual show, he's flying! Bon Jovi was always so happy the nicest of the 80's rockers.)ģ. Bon Jovi, 'Livin' On A Prayer'(the best pre-chorus bit ever, and then it goes up a key at the end. Simon and Garfunkel, 'America'(so lovely and sad)Ģ. alastair roberts - come, my darling pollyġ. wideboys - stand and deliver (4x4 vocal mix)Ġ9. matmos - the stars and stripes foreverĠ7. I confess I don’t know all the music on my computer as well as I should and in many ways I’m just a hoarder of compressed audio data but I love that data and I do feel it means something, especially when the music is placed in a new context. I love the occasional hideous but ever so interesting sound clash of songs that winamp juxtaposes for us, the songs we have but hate, make us cringe remind us of when things were different for us. I’m romanticizing here but I’m in love with the random feature, despite its misgivings which have been pointed out above.
These are mini mix tapes which seem to say so much without being awarded the careful thought and loving attention the ones we so carefully construct do.

In the digital age with a culture of download first / listen later and the language of music becoming increasingly more pervasive and complex we accumulate a sheer mass of music with each single and album indicating something about us, however disposable, however credible. Random is probably one of the most overused and inappropriately used words of modern times but hopefully what we have here are random, however so, lists indicating in some way our audio predilections.
