Songs I like to have stuck in my head sometimes
Friend Is A Four Letter Word - Cake
Kitty - The Presidents of the United States of America
Stranger - The Presidents of the United States of America
On the Street Where You Live (Act I) - My Fair Lady Original Soundtrack ~ this is the one song that never fails to make me involuntarily sigh and think "oh, how romantic"
On the Street Where You Live - Mr. Hudson & the Library ~ a modern version, lyrics tweaked, not quite as romantic ("what a nauseous feeling"?) but still evokes a fluttery "aw, cute" feeling
Make Out Club - Gym Class Heroes ~ because sometimes I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy
Woolly Muffler - Harvey Danger ~ one of the best songs to come out of the 90s
And then I got sidetracked by this thought:
People made such a big deal out of Radiohead releasing their album In Rainbows online and saying people could pay what they thought it was worth. It was touted as being revolutionary and evidence of big changes in the music industry, a risky experiment, etc. etc.
Harvey Danger had done the same thing almost exactly 2 years before, with very little media hoopla, and a modest and completely optional "donate something if you feel like it" link. At that point in time, it truly was experimental. Their reasons, too, seemed to be more humble and honest.
Of course, they're nowhere near as popular or musically progressive a band as Radiohead, so I guess it's only natural that there wouldn't be as much attention. But still. What Radiohead did with their digitally downloadable album release, and what NIN is doing right now with theirs? Not quite as "revolutionary" as people think.
Thoughts? Comments? Corrections?
