The &#8220;Song Lotto&#8221; pick at the show I saw, part of the fantastic second set.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Loving Cup,&#8221; The Rolling Stones. Off <cite>Exile on Main St.<\/cite>, which is the best Stones album ever.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Buffalo Soldier,&#8221; Bob Marley &#038; The Wailers. Everybody sing: &#8220;Ai-yi-yo, Ai-yi-yi yo&#8230;&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Real Love,&#8221; Al Green. A slow ballad off one of his recent comeback album. I can&#8217;t sing in that register.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Say Hello 2 Heaven,&#8221; Temple Of The Dog. I can&#8217;t sing in this register, either: Chris Cornell paying tribute to the guy from Mother Love Bone whose death indirectly led to Eddie Vedder being famous.\n<li>&#8220;Tonight,&#8221; Ryan Adams &#038; The Cardinals. Another song off <cite>Cold Roses<\/cite>. I&#8217;m not sure why the iTunes shuffle algorithm does this&#8211; it goes on weird kicks where it throws up all sorts of tracks by one artist.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Crime Scene Part One,&#8221; The Afghan Whigs. &#8220;Do you think I&#8217;m beautiful? Do you think I&#8217;m evil?&#8221; Opening track off <cite>Black Love<\/cite>.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;She&#8217;s Leaving Home,&#8221; The Beatles. I go back and forth about this song&#8211; sometimes, I think it&#8217;s trying too hard, sometimes, I think it&#8217;s a good tune. I&#8217;m leaning toward &#8220;trying too hard&#8221; at the moment.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Anthem,&#8221; Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen is more successful intellectually than musically, for me. When I force myself to listen carefully, I like his stuff, but as soon as I stop giving it my full attention, I can&#8217;t remember a thing other than &#8220;croaky and depressing.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Neighborhood #2 (Laika),&#8221; Arcade Fire. I have no idea what this is about, but it&#8217;s a cool song.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Always The Last To Know,&#8221; Del Amitri. The kings of the pretty song about people behaving abominably.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Special bonus track from later in the playlist, than I&#8217;m earwormed with without actually listening to: &#8220;Teenage Dirtbag,&#8221; by Wheatus. Yes, I&#8217;m a dork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not feeling especially inspired, blog-wise, this morning, and I&#8217;ve got another couple of busy days on tap, so you get the fall-back post of the uninspired blogger: Ten random tracks from my iTunes library (the four-and-five-star playlist), with commentary.
