a time killing shuffle...

Just some songs that popped up as I was doing a few things around the house.

Plasticines - "No Way" (taken from LP1)
Smack - "Mediocridade Afinal" (taken from The Sexual Life of the Savages)
Mission of Burma - "Nancy Reagan's Head" (taken from The Obliterati)
Lyrics Born - "Funk U Up" (taken from Overnite Encore: Lyrics Born Live!)
The Smiths - "This Charming Man" (taken from Hatful of Hollow)
Jens Lekman - "Rocky Dennis' Farewell Song" (taken from Oh You're So Silent Jens)
The Magic Numbers - "Carl's Song" (taken from Those the Brokes)
Notwist - "This Room" (taken from Neon Golden)
The Beatles - "And Your Bird Can Sing" (taken from Revolver)
Guided by Voices - "I Am A Scientist" (taken from Bee Thousand)
Circus Devils - "Kingdom of Teeth" (taken from Ringworm Interiors)
Radiohead - "I Might Be Wrong (edit)" (taken from Towering Above the Rest)
Animal Collective & Vashti Bunyan - "Baleen Sample" (taken from Prospect Hummer EP)
The Wrens - "Boys, You Won't" (taken from The Meadowlands)

That was an excellent run of pop from "Charming Man" to "Scientist", I especially enjoyed the middle detour into some Europop. But man, I am reminded of how goddamn excellent Robert Pollard is when I get to hear one of his best come right out of a Beatles classic. Nice segue into the slightly "weirder" songs via one of Pollard's side projects. And "Boys, You Won't" was a perfect way to end the shuffle.
