i'm no good at top fives.

[helterskelter_]

since october, my top 5 picks would go something like this

1) okkervil river - down the river of golden dreams
2) elliott smith - either/or
3) cat power - moon pix (even though it was stolen !!)
4) the postal service
5) dizzy gillespie / joy division (because i always listen to a lot of both, they highlight my past year in general -- however completely unrelated)

what are yours?

i like doing this type of thing with specific songs.... this is why i make mix tapes. i should make you one, dearie. COME SEE ME AT WORK PLZ.

i don't understand why people read this type of thing and DON'T respond. boooo

1) haven't heard okkervil river -- must check out.
2) "say yes" says it all
3) i am an idiot and need to listen to cat power. you are free has been sitting on my hard drive for a couple months, and i've never gotten around to listening to it.
4) oh the postal service....i do love them. i think it's the most likable music in the world. and i got quite a bit of people into them too.
5) random, but both excellent.

I am also an idiot because I haven't visited you yet. I'm really sorry, but it's such a pain to go back there...maybe if a good movie comes I'll drop by. I think that paycheck is for about $10 anyway. But we really do need to hang out...2 of my favorite bands are coming soon, both 18 and up though...grrr. I'll do my top choices when I start listening to everything I have.

[sundaythedog]

1. Crosby, Stills and Nash - Self-titled. 1969 was such a good year.
2. The Decemberists - 5 Songs EP (2001)
3. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970 was awesome too)
4. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998)
5. Beastie Boys - License to Ill (1986.. their one release under Def Jam was their best. Everything post-Paul's-Boutique under Grand Royal was shit).
6. Her Space Holiday - The Young Machines (Pitchforks says: "This album deserves a 9.9, but Bianchi is too angry. So it gets a 6.9." <--- paraphrase. What a bunch of conceited, fucking assholes... I hope I'm one of them someday.
7. Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request.
8. Cat Power - You are Free. (gooo Decatur!!)
9. Neutral Milk Hotel - Invent Yourself a Shortcake. 10 points for a cool album name. And he was 16 when he made it. And most of it is really cool. Some of it at least.
10. Temptations - The christmas Card (1970 again (I told you it rocked (didn't I?))).

[sundaythedog]

Oh and 5.5: Broken Social Scene - Feel good Lost (The '01 release is better than teir 03 one. No contest.)

[sparkplugminuet]

You're the conceited music fuck...and nice use of parentheses, your English teacher/girlfriend would be proud. You Forgot It In People is fucking amazing and ten million times better than Feel Good Lost.

[sundaythedog]

Feel Good Lost could kick You Forgot it in People right through the fucking face-hole.

Re:

[sparkplugminuet]

hi! #2,3,4 are definitely at the top of my list right now. I love love love The Shins. Lost in Translation is an incredible soundtrack, too...have you heard the bonus track where Bill Murray sings "More Than This"?

Re:

[po_mo]

Hello! Yes I've heard the "More Than This" hidden song. Seriously, the Shins just sound better and better the more I listen to them. Too often, I listen to a band and then get sick of them. I shouldn't jinx it :)

Re:

[sparkplugminuet]

I know exactly what you mean! The first month I got Chutes Too Narrow it never left my CD player. It's such a good album...I could listen to "Saint Simon" for hours.

[rararadio]

[sparkplugminuet]

1. the microphones - the glow, pt. 2
2. joanna newsom - the milk-eyed mender
3. nick drake - pink moon
4. little wings - light green leaves
5. songs: ohia - didn't it rain
6. m. ward - transfiguration of vincent
7. iron and wine - the creek drank the cradle
8. animal collective - sung tongs
9. the unicorns - who will cut our hair when we're gone?
10. neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
11. xiu xiu - fabulous muscles
12. devendra banhart - rejoicing in the hands
13. cursive - domestica

those are not my 13 favorite cds, but they're probably the 13 i've been listening to the most recently, roughly in order of frequency.

[sparkplugminuet]
