Nice.
I'm listening to a random shuffle that includes several things that will probably be on my year's best list for the Pazz & Jop Poll (The Village Voice annual music issue's best-ofs): OTBCOTS (of course), the 88's The 88 (these guys were Ray Davies backing band on his last tour--How often do musicians get to say they were technically The Kinks for a few weeks?? Anyway, these guys rock!), Jason Falkner's I'm Ok, You're Ok (which will count because it finally got US release this year), Richard Barone's Glow (he's the one with the fantastic TRex cover, if Tempe--or anyone else--is interested), Justin Townes Earle's Harlem River Blues and Jerry Lee Lewis's Mean Old Man (so, so much better than the Killer's previous "comeback" record. which I loved, but this is just infinitely superior!).
I'm also listening to lots of Jellyfish (being trapped in a tower makes me nostalgic for younger days of Rock and Roll freedom), Wes Cunningham (stellar songwriting and he just snuck a bunch of new songs out that are timeless in a really unbelievable way) and Jeremy Messersmith (just, you know, because...).
Just picked up used copies of P.O.D.'s "Satelite" and The Cure's "Wish" in my travels in thrift stores today. (Was on the hunt for Halloween costume pieces.) My husband, being my husband, found a CD copy of J.D. Sumner and the Stamps.
I was chillin' listening to some Elvis Costello, but now I have to get in the mood to do something stupid, so I put on my 'happy playlist', and that's a mix of, well, everything. Beatles, Rooney, OK Go, Pixies, Cee-Lo, Weezer, Black Crowes, The Cure, Smiths, Jamiroquai, Michael Jackson, Mika, Coconut Records, Gang of Four, Siousxie and the Banshees, Little Joy, Guided By Voices, Beck... well, and more. so as you can see, everything.
I'll see your list, and raise you my "Fun Times" mix on my work computer: OK Go, Pixies, Florence + the Machine, The Chipmunks, Weird Al, Newsboys, House seasons 1-3 soundtrack, Apologetix (my other fave band, a parody band), King's X (my first ever favorite band until the end of time, rock), EMF's "Unbelievable" (just that song).
Nobody probably knows this one, but I'm listening to "I Apologise (Dear Simon)" from a Dutch band called Moss. I saw them live a few months ago. :) Their "The Comfort", "I Like The Chemistry" and "Angry Young Man" are also nice.

Christel, seeing the song by Jellyfish on your youtube, got me sorting through
all my collection of CDs tapes and records, been reliving some of the 60s stuff wich
is great, Kinks, stones, and the who. Been playing It Bites today, its like rediscovering
them all over again. Have got so many over the years, im sure i will find other little gems
i have forgotten about.

WTF?

That's all I can think of right now.
