While trying to figure out my next real post, here's the next five songs on my iPod:
"My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" by Neil Young and Crazy Horse - I have the live version, I believe off of "Live Rust." I prefer this to "Hey Hey My My."
"Knights" by Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles is an electronic band that features what seems to be the sound card from an Atari video game system circa 1983. A friend from work introduced me to them last year. Very synth-oriented. Some songs are flat-out noisy, but they do mid-tempo stuff well..."Knights" falls into the latter category.
"Just" by Radiohead - Off the 1995 album "The Bends." Time and place song for me. I heard this on the old Sunday night alternative music show Planet X on WIXX, a Green Bay top-40 station. This show was surprisingly ahead of its time. I heard songs on that show in September that I didn't hear again until I moved to Minneapolis to start school (January...long story). "Just" is simply a good song that fits well into its time.
"My Sister" by Juliana Hatfield - Kind of a typical early-to-mid 90s angst-ridden song with contradictory lyrics about Juliana's sister. But, Juliana Hatfield has kind of a cute voice, so it works.
"Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down - This song grew on me back in 2000. Good hook, lyrics tied to Superman, what's not to like?

Great minds think alike, good sir. Make sure to check out Maria's cuisinart job on Gino, too.
Neil is always good. I am going to have to check out Crystal Castles now. Are they like Vangelis by any chance? Just is a good song too. Sister is decent. I do not have anything nice to say about three doors down so I will refrain from commenting any further. I think that I may have heard that show a few times during my second stay in Badgerland. It was not a bad show. Probably one of the best in that area anyway.
The whole "Bends" album is excellent. Probably their most user-friendly effort, though I stopped listening after Amnesiac.
