I Kan't Spell

 
Randoms Brought To You By My Station at Launch.com

1. Myxomatosis - Radiohead ~ "I don't know why I feel so tongue tied" It's that song. I like that they didn't do a full concept album like Ok Computer, Amnesiac, and Kid A. It sort of changes up between pop and industrial Radiohead. I know I like the pop more but when they are both on the same record I love both of them together in the sweetest way.
   
   
2. Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne ~ You know what else I love about Jackson Browne. At a concert of his you will never hear one person scream for this song. It's amazing that this is the song of his that most people know the best because of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It's a brutal tune.
   
   
3. Mary Jane - The Vines ~ Umm...you guys should smoke more pot. Smoke more until you realize you aren't a real band at all...you are just young cute and you hop around on stage...now "Get Free" is an anthem of a song...but come on...another ode to pot.
   
   
4. See You In The Next On... - The Verve ~ Wow early 90's Verve. Man bring me back to the days of Suede, Stone Roses, Hot House Flowers and really really bad British music. Thank God people evolved.
   
   
5. Hands Down - Dashboard Confessional ~ Eww Eww Eww Eww...FUCKING EWW. This makes me want to give my dick to charity because if I listen to this long enough I won't need one. People listen to this shit too don't they? This and the Get Up Kids and Blink 182. They all sit around and wonder where the days of Jimmy Eat World and 1996 went. Bring back Harvey Danger and SemiSonic and Tonic...etc...!!!
   
   
6. Trouble - Coldplay ~ I'm not really in the mood for this, but after just listening to that crap, Dashboard Urinal...sadly this sounds rather similar. Oh no wait it doesn't because it has that missing ingredient that no one can ever really get their hands on...it's called. It's called...talent...It's the ability to arrange music and lyrics in a way that doesn't sound like everyone else..yet it does...oddly...
   
   Wait Tangential Notes - If I like this why don't I like Dashboard Urinal? What's really different? That "talent ingredient" isn't viable. Music needs to start really getting diversified...either that or I'm going way underground soon. I can't tell the different between anyone anymore...and with the surge of horrible hip hop fueled by white moguls looking to cash in on suburbia...life is going to get worse...because next thing you know Coldplay will be wearing Diamonds and throwing out love to Outkast (who's latest song by the way about smelling like roses is just one of the worst things I have ever fucking heard). Hmm....
   
   
7. Times Like These - Seven Mary Three ~ They just try too hard sometimes. They just really need to stick to what they do...and you know what? This song is what they do. 7M3 does two things...they play catchy southern rock songs that have solo drums and hard baselines, and they play slit your wrist music. It's just that, when the well is dry, the well is dry...I can take bad southern rock songs...I can't take bad slit your wrist songs.
   
   
8. She Is Love - Oasis ~ Run Run Run cover your ears. Ignore this song. Damn you Noel. I can't vouch for this unless I'm with someone who else who likes Oasis. If a band called "Flying Monkey Ass" sang this I wouldn't listen to it. But since it's you...I find myself listening.
   
   
9. All Eyez On Me - Tupac Shakur ~ I don't know but I never feel like more of a fake white kid then when I listen to 2pac. Maybe it's the movies, maybe it's the lameness of 2pac and West Coast rap. Maybe because I'm corny. I mean I kinda like listening to it because I knew all the songs back in the day when I was drinking mad dog 20/20 outside of Jiffy Lube at 16. But anyway...I don't listen to 2pac anymore. FF>>
   
   
10. Sleeping On The Roof - The Flaming Lips ~ I usually don't go this deep into The Soft Bulletin because I retire and call it a day after the Superman song. Anyway...this is instrumental wrap up music. It's not filler because I wouldn't do that to the Flaming Lips...it's just them being them...and there's no reason to listen to this song outside of the context of the album.
    
    
11. Hotel Yorba - The White Stripes ~ I love this song! It's funny and it sounds like the Flaming Lips actually. It's catchy short and has those little "Yeah's" and "Uh huh" in the middle of the choruses. Plus you can count to the song and has great pick-ups. "...and it's 4,5,6,7 baby grab your umbrella. Grab hold of me because I'm your favorite fella."
    
    
12. Clumsy - Our Lady Peace ~ This song RULES! It has three great changes and fits an awesome op mold. It paints a picture and tells a nice morbid tale about watching people fail and then telling them that they should "sleep and get a friend". It's good...it's good...
    
    
13. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison ~ Yeah yeah ...we all like this...you know why..because it has two versions and you always want to hear the "Making love in the green grass" one. Nobody likes the other one. The weird part is that when you catch your mom when you are 5 years old singing that verse and then she looks over at you with that awkward smile. She wished she was free again. I think every girl wants this song sung to them at some time in their life...I think they stand in front of the mirror and pray to have some scruffy guy who "really" understands them singing this song while clasping his hands around her and burying his chin in her shoulder as they both close their eyes and sway to the music.
    
    
14. Driftwood - Travis ~ "Rivers turn to ocean. Oceans tide your home. Home is where the heart is"...etc.etc.etc...Travis is just Sunday afternoon in May, dawn laundry detergent commercial, music. Nothing feels as good as a clean house and Travis should be playing in that cleanliness afterglow...ahhh
    
    
15. The Other Side - David Gray ~ This is one of a pair of respectable tunes from "A New Day At Midnight". I can't remember the other one.
    
    
16. Hells Bells - AC/DC ~ I always wanted to walk up to bat with this song playing. It's so hardcore. It's great fucking music too. It may not sound like it...but with this playing there is just animal sex going on and that's really it. You can't really look someone in the eye with this blaring in the background.
    
    
17. The Modern Age - The Strokes ~ I remember I bought this in the Spring of 2001 overseas for like 20$. It's the lp version and it has this and one other track on it. It came in a little cardboard sleeve and is now estimated at about 200$. A shame...that was thrown away in the tragic accident that was my cd collection. This is a good song though...I remember when I first heard it I was like.."What the holy fuck is this." Now take yourself back to 2001. Take yourself to the error of bad music like the world hadn't seen since 1989. It was Creed, and Nickelback, Staind, Limp Bizkit and AHHHHHHH! Anyway...when i heard this the first time I was so excited. One of the bands needed to make it...and to be quite honest, these guys are the most talented. They suck wang live though!
    
    
18. House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals ~ Nobody really knows who the Animals are. They always get them confused for the Kinks or Cream or some other band. Well this is them and it's the best rendition of this classic tune. Of course this song really has no origin. Some say it dates back to Sonny Taylor...but who knows...those guys didn't have record deals...the old blues masters sang songs to keep the rain off their heads.
    
    
19. Fine Again - Seether ~ Wait wait wait and to think I was starting to enjoy myself and my music. And this came along. This ass clown music. There should be executions of these bands on nightly television. They should string them up and make them play their song 5 years removed from their corporate playola days...and the crowd has to love it or they get lowered into a tub of acid...still strumming the E chord.
    
    
20. Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins ~ Nope. I don't like the Smashing Pumpkins and it definitely is without a doubt that whiney bastards voice. Because I lowered all the levels and tuned this out once and this song and most of their songs are awesome...it's Billy's voice...that makes it suck for me. He sounds like a chain smoking 250 pound teenage girl that wears a leather jacket and too much lipstick.
    
    
21. I Can't Take It Back - Jamie Hoover ~ I hate when Launch.com does this. They let you listen to your stuff for about an hour or so and they start putting stuff in that they "think" you'll like. This is forgettable music. Wait...i heard a change...nope it's horrible...yeah it's not even forgettable anymore...now it's earmarked for further ridicule if I ever hear it again.
    
    
22. Sneaking Up On Mr. Prez - Division Of Laura Lee ~ This is almost tolerable. And I sooo mean almost. It's still pretty cheesy though. Nice outro and intro however.
    
    
23. 3.2 Beer Of LoveLil' - Cap'n Travis ~ Well hello. This is kinda cool. His voice is kinda goofy he sounds like something that I have heard before...yeah this sounds like modest mouse singing country. Holy shit it does! This is kinda good...I'm actually writing down their name.
    
    
24. How's Life (On Top Of The World) - The Two Dollar Pistols ~ Well Yeee Fucking Haaaa! Why does launch.com think I like country? This is fucking horrible I hope these people fall into a Columbian jungle and have to play their music down there with the naked corpse of Captain Kangaroo in tow.
    
    
25. Travelin' Band - Creedence Clearwater Revival ~ Despite my hatred for Fogerty. Man this is the best creedence song in the world. It's like 2 minutes long and reminds me of...driving to a house in the country...in late spring as the sun is just kissing the tops of the trees...for a house party. At 5pm just getting off of work or school and riding shotgun firing down a cigarette with my head slightly tilted out the window.
    
    
26. Highway One - The Waifs ~ Well Fuck! I was all happy and now...well now...I want to shoot someone as this Cheryl Crow knock off is talking about God and trees and playing a harmonica (which is actually kinda solid). Wait the chorus is...nope the chorus is stupid.
    
    
27. Cannonball - Damien Rice ~ I hear a good bit of chatter about old Mr. Rice. It's not off to a bad start. I haven't rolled my eyes yet. Wait...oh...it's pretty good. Yeah it's good...a little weak for me but I can see why this is respected.
    
    
28. Spring Cleaning - Bright Eyes ~ Sad bastard tunes. It's pretty good though. I like when artists make the decision to leave the imperfections of the recording in their. The lips smack, or foot tap that you hear is really good sometimes for songs.
    
    
29. We're Fuckin' R'N'R - R'N'R ~ AH AH AHHAHAHAHAH ! This is disgusting. I hate BIUOIHDF ShioHIO D HIODS Hdwpoem Kpof NIODFSn NSDiew NDs. Hear ME ROCK!!!!!!!!!! HFHIO dfbhiosh H iowehio dhioswhi o. We're Fuckin RNR jpoifdsjop fdjsjods apwmvme- fcjcdokle jjkdkms djojopd.
    
    
30. Song 2 - Blur ~ Wooohooo!
    
    
31. Fade Into You - Mazzy Star ~ Hell Yeah! I can't remember what movie this is from but this song is good without the movie. This is just unstoppable sad heroin music. I bet a ton of people have walked the last mile to this song.
    
    
32. Good Riddance - Green Day ~ And to think I was going to escape the day without hearing the mouth farts that are Greenday. Bummer...
    
    
33. Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones ~ Thank God! I've been wondering where the Stones have been this whole ride. I'm on hour 6 here and no stones until now.
    
    
34. Rhododendron - The Beta Band ~ Sweet this is new stuff taht I wanted to check out anyway. We all know the Beta Band from High Fidelity. That first cd is pretty good and that song they played back then "Dry the Rain" was kick ass. So I've been waiting for this. Oh well bummer that was all just instrumental.
    
    
35. Mr. Brown - Bob Marley ~ I don't really get along with Bob Marley for some reason. This song is kinda funny though. I like most of the stuff that no one listens to simply for that reason. It's been stuffed down my throat by pot smoking white kids for so long that I just associate "Three Little Birds" with fake dudes in Rastah hats talking about solving the worlds problems while the fire down another binger.
    
    

Done...monster list finished
