Yet amid my prep, I still find time to chill to the dulcet tones of my iTunes random mix.
1. the bleeding heart show, new pornographers
2. we must have been out of our minds, george jones (with melba montgomery)
3. see in you, the album leaf
4. wherever i go, the album leaf
5. number two, pernice brothers
6. the promise, when in rome (napoleon dynamite soundtrack)
7. dig a pony, the beatles
8. energy, apples in stereo
9. stay, alison krauss and union station
10. folk singer, brendan benson
It's a strong showing for the Album Leaf, who obviously feel that Fridays require the mellow.
And fresh off the cd presses, this dude's latest (the top two tracks are on it) features someone a couple of us (okay, Lynette) know playing guitar.
Finally, if I ever get famous and find myself sitting down face-to-face with, say, Terry Gross, I will arrive with prepared notes and cards of killer jokes and will not, under any circumstances, turn out an interview like the poor dudes of Sigur Ros do here.

Well, I don't bring my iPod to work, so I can't really play along. I'm trying to remember what I listened to at lunch. Here's a partial list:
picture of nectar--phish
something by the pixies
then a meditation/new-agey thing came up, so I skipped that, and then I really got into the crossword and didn't really notice what was playing. So, not terribly enlightening, but I did finish the crossword puzzle.
Mista Del Fosse perhaps? Wowsers, it sounds pretty good actually. I'm impressed.
Finished the Friday crossword? Impressive.
My iPod is in a bit of a Friday rut. I load up a ton of new music (and hear it all on the way in to work), but what does it give me here? Overrepresentation. Shameful.
It's actually Andy. Yeah, I really like the CD. The guy (whose name is not, in fact, "Stanley Ross") plays with Devin Davis, with whom Andy has also played a couple of gigs. I like Devin's music a lot too.

If you recall seeing the trailer to that movie Wordplay (about the NY Times crossword puzzle), his song "Giant Spiders" is the music for it. Good stuff.
Oh, the cruciforms link is Jim's.
. . who, by the way has a new cd coming out that I'm sure he'll share with his bestest friends.
And a random-10 Detroit plug:

If you escaped my prosthelytizing a while back, good for you--you're in the minority. He's in the Raconteurs, but his solo stuff is awesome, in my view.
