I popped open itunes this morning to download a couple of songs. I have this thing where I listen to the NPR podcast All Songs Considered, and when its over, I download the songs that caught my interest. And while I'm on itunes, I go and download a bunch of random odd songs.
So, I looked this morning at some of my topped played songs on my ipod. Goodness, its eclectic.
Shake It - Metro Station
Please don't judge. I dance whenever it comes on.
The Twist - Frightened Rabbit
I heard this song on a podcast and couldn't get it out of my head. Very infectious.
Workin Day and Night - Michael Jackson
If you aren't car dancing when this comes on, then you have no soul.
All Over the World - ELO
I love ELO. I'm surprised I have played this one the most. I usually say Mr. Blue Sky is my favorite.
Pot Kettle Black - Tilly and the Wall
Another NPR find. Fantastic group. They use tap dancing as percussion. I discovered them right after they came to town for a show. Hope they come back.
Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
The Cure was the second concert I ever went to. It was at the Summit in Houston. I was in 8th grade. I wore all black and a lot of eyeliner and thought I was so cool. Good memories!!
Surrender - Cheap Trick
The song makes no sense. Have you ever really listened to the lyrics? But I still love it!
In These Shoes - Kristy MacColl
My friend, John Hagopian, put this song on a mix for me before I moved from Detroit to Dallas. It was on permanent repeat, and I wore down the cd. Fantastic song. Me being a shoe girl, it speaks to me.
Liz the Hot Receptionist - Jesus H. Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocolypse
This song just makes me laugh out loud. I see Liz in and around Dallas daily. This group is almost like an adult version of Seasame Street.
Time to Pretend - MGMT
Found this on NPR too. Just such a great song. It was the beat that dragged me in, but the words that really stuck.
Never Miss a Beat - Kaiser Chiefs
I love it when you hear a song and the English accents are so thick you can even hear them when they sing. Just a great beat on this one.
Nothing Better - Postal Service
An oldie but goodie. I was at my friend Doug's years ago and this was playing on his computer. I had him burn me the entire cd. I remember driving home through downtown Dallas listening to it watching the city at night. This whole cd is great.

If you haven't seen the MGMT video for that song, you really must.
As for perhaps the another band you might find appealing...Cut Copy.
I love NPR! Do you listed to Ira Glass on Saturday's? This American Life is one of my favorite radio programs.
I have NPR on in the background alot. Who doesn't like This American Life?
I love pretty much all of those songs. I just got around to posting my top albums of 2008. A little late but at least I got done.
