List (#1)

August 29, 2005 9:46 AM

The moving weekend is passed. Phew. I'm glad that we were able to get it out of the way this weekend, since this will probably just be a tremor compared to the Big One post-Sep. 1 next weekend. There was significant unpacking progress made last night, which I seem to enjoy. I enjoy organization and putting things away, so it's great to start with a blank slate (or empty shelves). It also gives me the opportunity to re-calibrate my home theater system. I guess I'll have to watch lots of movies and listen to my DVD-Audio collection to make sure that I get everything just right.

I'm tagging myself via Mr. Leafblower so that I have an opportunity to put my first Top 10 list up here. I love music, so naturally I love making lists about it. I still find it a bit odd that those two seem to go so naturally together, even after the movie (and the book, which I still need to read). Anyhow, since I'm the recipient of a tag, I'll have to put together a list of what my ears are currently lovin'. So here goes:


  1. Rolling Stones - "Miss You" - This is the song that stuck after seeing them last week. I knew the song, but I don't think I ever connected that it was theirs.
  2. Human League - "Don't You Want Me Baby" - Just catchy. I think I heard it in the cell phone store this weekend.
  3. Supergrass - "Moving" - See the beginning of this post.
  4. Richard Hawley - "Oh My Love" - as in, oh my, love that reverb
  5. Franz Ferdinand - "Do You Want To" - Yes, I very much do. Orpheum Theater in October!
  6. Divine Comedy - "Becoming More Like Alfie" - It's good to hear a song about how the singer is recognizing his excessive rock and roll lifestyle and really isn't that happy with himself. How is the new Alfie movie? I've only seen the original with Michael Caine.
  7. Spoon - "The Two Sides of Monseiur Valentine" - It was great to see them at the free Hatch Shell show, even if it wasn't the best atmosphere for them. They'll be stomping around the country this fall with American Music Club. I'll be there with you, Ken.

It's been too busy of a week to listen to much else, so I'm just going to cut it short before I start making up obscure tracks by defunct shoegaze bands and say that they've been rocking my turntable this week. The turntable has been disconnected all week, so I just need to get home and change that.
