Playlist - June 2006

Another month, another hour of disjointed listening...

Low Lustre - Dancing Blind >>
The Cloud Room - Hey Now Now >>
Deadboy & the Elephantmen - Ancient Man >>
Snow Patrol - Shut Your Eyes >>
Hula - Runaway >>
Band of Horses - The Funeral >>
A great song... the lyrics can be interpreted various ways, but whatever you think they're saying, the music does amazing things to them.
Band of Horses - The Great Salt Lake >>
Destroyer - European Oils >>
Ambulance Ltd - New English >>
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Summer Wine >>
A wonderfully weird summer classic from the late '60s (with orchestration that sounds like a James Bond movie from the same era...)
Ron Sexsmith - These Days >>
Sexsmith is a master craftsman of pop tunes (akin to a Paul McCartney or Elton John). Upon first listen to this song you might raise your eyebrow and wonder 'what is this?' After listening a few times, you'll be hopelessly stuck on the tune.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood >>
Jon Langford - Workingman's Palace >>
Lanterna - Luminous >>
The instrumental songs from Lanterna's 'Desert Ocean' album are perfect for long, hot summer drives through the desert (or anywhere else, really). Reminiscent of Daniel Lanois, mid-'80s U2, etc.
Secret Machines - Alone Jealous & Stoned >>
