Jeff Beal - The Mark of the Beast: Haunting track from the Carnivale soundtrack.

Thymme Jones - Disjunct: I like songs that make me think something is wrong with the iPod (unless there was something wrong with the rip...never can tell with these things).

Philemon Arthur & The Dung - Goda Grannar: As wacky as ever.

The Flaming Lips - Placebo Headwound: Quiet, odd lips is just as fun as loud, odd lips, I think.

The dB's - Neverland: One of their fastest, bounciest songs.

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Brother: During my Toad phase during the blizzard earlier this year, I ordered a live album that I previously didn't know existed. The majority of the songs on it were from Pale and Fear, which are my two favorite and most familiar releases. Can't say I know this song, but it is striking me as a bit dull.

Boom Bip - Popsicle: A band I've kinda gotten into lately along with similar groups like Themselves and Subtle. I'm not sure what the connection between them all is yet (haven't spent the 2 minutes researching it online to figure it out), but all the music is really fun.

Deerhoof - Sophie: From the wacky first album that isn't really reflective of how good the band is today.

Stewart Copeland - Samburu Sunset: From Copeland's African music inspired The Rhythmatist, this is a bit more random than most of the tracks.

Painkiller - Tortured Souls: There is no stopping the pain in one's ears with this tune.

The Flaming Lips - Suddenly Everything Has Changed: Certainly not the Lips of old, but I really liked The Soft Bulletin which was probably the last time I really got into the band (minus their recent cover release of Dark Side of the Moon).

The Velvet Underground - There She Goes Again: Yea Velvets.

Robyn Hitchcock - Queen Elvis II: The electric version from the great Eye album.

Sonic Youth - Pink Steam: Admittedly I've pretty much ignored a lot of new Sonic Youth songs even though they all reside on the iPod. As if I'm hearing it for the first time, I kinda like this tune.

Those Bastard Souls - Curious State I'm In: Really fun song from the 90's band comprising of players from multiple indie bands at the time.

Afghan Whigs - Fountain and Fairfax: The morning is starting to have a 90's misery feel to it.

Jay Reatard - Waiting for Something: Two weeks in a row for the loud, angry punk.

Pit Er Pat - Vultures Beware: For some reason the Random Eight is making me very happy today.

Sebadoh - Unseen Waste: One of those screaming wacky tracks that made this band lots of fun in the early days.

Alias - Sixes Last: One of those bands/tunes that I just have no recollection of purchasing or memory as to why it caught my attention. It is fun, though; kinda bouncy in a slow, methodical way.

The Crystal Method - Wild, Sweet and Cool: Quicker than the last song, but cut from a similar cloth.

Nuno Canavarro - Alsee: A short (and titled, which is actually rare) track of bips and boops from Plux Quba.
