Another iPod war between myself and Armchair Novelist.

Here’s me:

The National – Daughters of The Soho Riots
Iggy Pop – Lust For Life
David Byrne – Burnt By The Sun
The Books – Getting The Job Done
Lucero – Bikeriders
The Shins – Young Pilgrims
Ted Leo – 6 Months in a Leaky Boat
Aimee Mann – She Really Wants You
Andrew Bird – Fake Palindromes
Ryan Adams – Now That You’re Gone

Now here’s him:

#1: rilo kiley- “the good that won’t come out”
#2: neutral milk hotel- “where you can find me now”
#3: jaymay- “letter”
#4: velvet underground- “european son”
#5: neutral milk hotel- “naomi”
#6: broken social scene- “superconnected”
#7: belle & sebastian- “the stars of track and field”
#8: pj harvey- “no child of mine”
#9: flake music- “the shins”
#10: beulah- “my side of the city (demo tour ep version)”

I’ll admit it, I’m a 6 Feet Under fan. If you saw the final episode and want an MP3 of the song (Sia – Breathe Me) that played while Claire is driving to NYC, then head over to Stereogum. You can read Ruth, Keith, David, Federico, Brenda, and Claire’s obits here.

Everyone reads You Ain’t No Picasso and yesterday he played host to an ipod war between Annie (a fellow Wisconsin blogger!) and Matt and offered others to submit their lists, which I did. I thought I’d repost it here. I really wanted to refresh the random playlist, but I didn’t.

The National – Lit Up
Willie Nelson – Harder They Come
Uncle Tupelo – Still Be Around

Thunderbirds Are Now! – Bodies Adjust

The same friend that turned me on to Lewis and Clarke has been telling me to check out Merge Records next big thing, “The Rosebuds.” I forgot about it, but just this morning got my first taste of the album, and I think it’s great. This husband and wife duo sings sweetly in your ear and makes you just a little dissapointed that you’ve been without them this long (maybe you haven’t, and I’m the only slow one). You can pick up some of their stuff right here (only $9), and make sure you check out this for more information. Keep your eyes out for the release date of “Birds Make Good Neighbors,” you’ll thank me later. Finally, here’s a few MP3′s to get them in your head, once they are, they’ll be there for awhile.
