Some Old, Some New
Driving to work this morning I listened to a R.E.M. compilation with 21 songs spanning most of their first 10 albums. You remember these albums don't ya: Chronic Town, Murmur, Fables of Reconstruction, Green, Document, Life's Rich Pageant, Reckoning, Out of Time, Dead Letter Office. This is a great comp - not a radio hit on it - instead their deeper cuts.
Now I'm playing a 2003 compilation. It's got 18 songs from mostly 2003 releases from bands such as: The Decemberists, The Shins, Super Furry Animals, Broken Social Scene, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, Cursive, Enon, Grandaddy, Wheat, Fruit Bats, Calexico, Andrew Bird, The White Stripes, and Death Cab for Cutie. I just got this, and this is my first spin. I'll let you know my favs off of here.
After that, I have two cds lined up for the rest of the day here at work - Hootie & the Blowfish (Cracked Rear View), and a Widespread Panic compilation.
That should keep me busy.
