Taking a Ride on the Pod Shuffle

I hate people. This isn't your fault. I just do. People don't read emails. Why bother sending them if people don't read them? Oh, wait, I know. Because I get yelled at if I don't send them. But then I send them and people don't read them. I hate people.

Lame Duck Countdown: 14 days.

PodShuffle time!

1. Blake Shelton - "I Have Been Lonely". A sentimental turn for Blake, on an album where the highlights are of drunken debauchery. I like him better sassy.

2. Editors - "Spiders". Deep cut off the new album. It's jangly.

3. Michael Buble - "Spiderman Theme". Yes, it's what you think it is. And it's delightful. I have no idea how I came by this delight of a track, but I'm sure glad I did. This track single-handedly turned Chris' opinion of "the Boob" on its head.

4. Nina Simone - "Mood Indigo". A fine track, one I hear often on my iTunes at work. "Yooooooou've never been blue..." I always think it's Sarah Vaughn.

5. Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - "The Look of Love". Ah, Bacharach as it's meant to be arranged. Another sweet, SWEET track. Why oh why did he do the album with the folks from the Black Eyed Peas? He's ruining something beloved for me, much like George Lucas ruining the Star Wars trilogy.

6. Arctic Monkeys - "If You Were There, Beware". I have the new album, but I've gotten bored with them and haven't listened to it yet.

7. Prince EP - "L.L.T." One of the discoveries on Missy Eliot's reality show where she searched for the next great rapper. His recorded work doesn't really hold up.

8. Christina Aguilera - "Welcome". I hate her. No, what I mean by that is I envy her. I envy her talent. Bad. I don't really like her music all that much, it's good not great, but I am in awe of her singing pipes.

9. My Bloody Valentine - "Soon". This song is musical poetry. It goes on forever and I don't care. Just brilliant.

10. The Bravery - "Above and Below". Are they going to whore themselves out to EVERY car manufacturer?
