1. The Rolling Stones - Rocks Off
The opening track from 'Exile On Main Street' and one of my favorite Stones songs.
2. Sinead O'Connor - O Filii et Filae
From 2003's double album 'She Who Dwells.' I don't own this one on CD, so I'm glad I'm doing this shuffle thing because a lot of things I own on digital format don't get much play time. This is a traditional Catholic hymn celebrating Easter. It's quite beautiful.
3. Morrissey - Papa Jack
From Morrissey's 1997 album, 'Maladjusted.' This is a decent enough track, but not among his best work.
4. The Cure - Mr. Pink Eyes
From 2004's 4-disc box set of b-sides, 'Join The Dots.' Mr. Pink Eyes was originally the b-side of The Lovecats from back in 1983. A bit odd, experimental and out of control.
5. Radiohead - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi
A great track from Radiohead's 2007 release 'In Rainbows.'
6. Legendary Pink Dots - And Even The Vegetables Screamed
A short instrumental from LPD's 1989 album 'The Golden Age.'
7. The Killers - Midnight Show
From their debut album 'Hot Fuss' in 2004. I'm not very familiar with their first album, so this track is relatively unheard until now.
8. James - I Know What I'm Here For (live)
From one of the greatest live albums of all time - 'Getting Away With It...Live.' Some of the live versions are superior to the studio versions. If you like James, this should be in your collection.
9. The Darkness - Love Is Only A Feeling
Wow. This is pretty damn good. :) Part Scorpions, part Queen. From their debut 'Permission To Land,' 2003. Okay, I'm hitting back and listening to this one again. Rad.
10. Suede - Moving
From their 1993 self-titled debut. Very familiar with this one. Suede were a great band, and as I understand they've reunited and are doing some shows in Europe.
Well, that's it. Discovered a few songs I hadn't heard before. Please feel free to hit shuffle on your mp3 player and post your 10 in the comments below.
Cheers,
