Oh, iTunes, Why Do You Vex Me So?

Happy Friday, all! We are just days away from Thanksgiving festivities, and lots and lots of food. Yay. My random ten. Queue it up yourself, if you're so inclined, even surreptitiously, if you fear scorn of your musical tastes (remember: I have the BeeGees, so no scorn here).

1. tainted love, soft cell
2. the fake headlines, new pornographers
3. this is england, the clash
4. give me another chance, big star
5. mushaboom, feist
6. my life is right, big star
7. better version of me, fiona apple
8. mellotron 2, apples in stereo (of course!)
9. i can't feel you anymore, loretta lynn
10. the other woman, loretta lynn (oh good grief)

bonus #11, because I'm trying to get something to come up different: pisshole in the snow, pernice brothers (the most beautiful song ever written about urine)

i have not ALL of the usual suspects this week (no boards of canada? what the hell?!), with the exception of a certain group of scousers:

1. right way to hold a spoon--massive attack
2. ascent--miles davis
3. nothing in this world--the kinks
4. reflections--human league
5. going down slow--ray charles
6. think for yourself--the (ahem) beatles
7. less--pierre audedat
8. the two sides of monsieur valentine--spoon
9. scooter + jinx--sonic youth
10. ms. jackson--outkast

i always thought the most beautiful song written about urine was dave chapelle's parody of r. kelly.

Hah! You're mixing it up.

That Chapelle thing was hilarious indeed. I was being totally serious, it's a purty song:

(album, discover a lovelier you, songs streaming)

My theory is that he wrote it on a bet.
