I Actually Get a Weekend This Weekend!

Happy end of a short (for me, at least) week! Insert here a moment of silence out of respect for the dress. Then queue up your music and see what the universe is trying to tell you today.

1. the delivery man, elvis costello and the imposters
2. adventures in solitude, new pornographers
3. heroine, blonde redhead
4. the lesson, mayo thompson
5. love shack, the b-52s
6. bryte side, pernice brothers
7. from a whisper to a scream, elvis costello and the attractions (completely different band, so no dupes)
8. this is not a love song, nouvelle vague
9. these days (i barely get by), george jones (heh, right there with you, george)
10. running the world, jarvis cocker

My secret message is apparently dance! Then chill the hell out.

Weigh in on that, and let me know what you think.

it's pretty great. and with both t bone burnett and marc ribot on six string duty, how can you go wrong?

Those sage sources at sound opinions thought it was "dull" or something, and of course I unfailingly following their guidance. Just kidding.

I think my coworker was talking about getting it, so I will need to press him on particulars.
