LISTENING: itunes shuffle

1. My Weakness (Moby)
This is what angels must sound like

2. Ways to Be Wicked (Lone Justice)
I had no idea I had a copy of this

3. Vertigo (U2)
A little commercial, but likeable

4. Love Pipe (The Red Elvises)
Russian surf guitar

5. Black Star (Soul Asylum)
From the live album recorded at the Grand Forks (ND) senior prom, awesome

6. See How We Are (X)
A demo version; nothing says summer of 1989 louder than X; they're playing the Cabooze tomorrow night and I'm bummed to miss them

7. Don't Leave Me This Way (Communards)*
Wins award for the day's most blatantly 80s tune; some might say this is a dance song, but, as personal experience is my witness, it would argue for its potential as a great makeout song (see Christmas break 1985, initials NM)

8. Colossus (Walt Mink)
One for the "where are they now" files

9. A Wot (Orgone)
Just got this CD from Krista; funk from Ubiquity Records, a West Coast version—if I dare say so—of Daptone, whatever that means

10. Deathwish (The Police)
Not much to say
