I'm listening to Reverend Horton Heat's Holy Roller. Great music for when you're feeling really hyper and insane and not very thinky. Plus, it reminds me of the fun, sexy red-headed robotics researcher I was seeing ages and ages ago, who introduced me to their music (and took me to see them live).
Monday night Kasabian took over the lame Zane Lowe's radio 1 slot for tow hours and played the following:

Elvis Presley - 'Mystery Train' (Sun) Pop Levi - 'Blue Honey' (Counter) Skinnyman - 'I'll be Surprised' (Low Life) Nirvana - 'Aneurysm' (DGC)
20:00
Can - 'Don't Leave The Light On, Leave Me Alone' (Mute) Gogol Bordello - 'Start Wearing Purple' (Side One Dummy) Rage Against The Machine - 'Renegades Of Funk' (Tommy Boy) Dave, Dee, Bozey, Beaky, Mick and Titch - 'Hold Tight' (Spectrum) Pretty Things - 'Baron Saturday' (Columbia) Oasis - 'Listen Up' (Creation) Prefuse 73 - 'Choking You' (Warp) Cream - 'Wrapping Paper' (Polydor) The Rolling Stones - 'We Love You' (Decca) Wu Tang Clan - 'Gravel Pit' (Sony) Suicide - 'Ghost Rider' (Bronze)
(Sorry about the times and record labels, I copied this straight from the radio 1 website.)
Not only did I sit listening to the entire thing, but I was at work and did NOTHING for the whole two hours. Kasabian (actually, only Tom and Serge) only added the occasional 'Wow' so they weren't entirely annoying.
I compiled a play list of those tracks that I had this morning, and am searching for the others... This will be what I listen to on the train all week.
I really liked the Pop Levi track. Any one have any recommendations for any of their stuff?
I'm going through a guilty pleasure English pop phase:
Kate Nash - Made of Bricks Help She Can't Swim - The Death of Night Life Black Box Recorder - The Worst of... Elastica - Elastica Sleeper - It Girl Bis - Return To Central (which I used to hate and OK, they're Scottish)
I would probably throw in The Wombats, but I don't have a UK billing address, so they won't sell me downloads yet.
Monday was a deep-90's retrospective, lot of Garbage, Pearl Jam, Alive in Chains, Toadies, capped off by some Arctic Monkeys around midnight.
Today I've been listening to Cory Doctorw read "The Hacker Crackdown" which he's been reading in installments on his podcast and which someone collected into a single file
nine inch nails - with teeth bappi lahiri - namak halaal soundtrack mank - cephalization winter family - winter family the robin guthrie piano tracks off billy mackenzie - beyond the sun (the rest of the album hasn't travelled well) dustin o'halloran - piano solos 2 new bauhaus album (so far it's meh) and some stuff on random play
Back on Whitechapel Radio 'cause I'm getting a kick out of CocoRosie's - Japan, have decided that I'm adding Raver to the list of songs I want to strip to one day and really just need to get the song Be My Baby out of my head even though I am going to do a recording of myself singing it because I have a vague notion that it might actually sound okay...then again, I might be fooling myself and need to have my ears replaced...bionic ears...how far have they gotten on that development?
Just got the new Magnetic Fields, which I like so far. That new Nick Cave music video for Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! isn't doing much for me, but the only Nick Cave album that bores me is Nocturama. A friend who'd heard it has given me hope for the next Kills album. Lately, for some reason, I can't stop listening to Built to Spill's Keep it Like a Secret.

Dave, Dee, Dozy , Beaky , Mick and Titch: " Zabadak " ...Animal collective 40 years ahead of their time. Honest. It's on YouTube somewhere. But I have been drinking.
