Thanks to Zalm for cluing me into the existence of this meme. Normally I avoid memes but this one fits my blog nicely. (Instructions; speculation on the origin of the meme.)
- “Banana Co,” Radiohead
- “The Last of the Famous International Playboys,” Morrissey
- “Mr. Grieves,” Pixies
- “Billy Boy,” Miles Davis
- Cardoso: Requiem, 2. Kyrie, The Tallis Scholars
- “It Happened in Monterey,” Frank Sinatra
- “Sprout and the Bean,” Joanna Newsom
- “Vacation,” the Go Gos
- “Breathless,” Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
- “Five String Serenade,” Mazzy Star
Not too bad. With all the 80s crap music I’m listening to right now for my Scary 80s mix (volumes 5 and 6, forthcoming), I could have gotten far worse tracks than “Vacation” showing up.
