Haven’t done one of these in a long time, but a partial power outage at work seems like a good reason to start. Here are the first ten tracks that have spun up from my music player today. I will confess to cheating a little by removing that one Johnny Mathis Christmas tune that came up in the middle.
- The Flaming Lips, “Goin’ On,” At War with the Mystics (Deluxe Edition)
- Jonny Greenwood, “Bode Radio/Glass Light/Broken Hearts,” Bodysong (Music from the Motion Picture)
- Nine Inch Nails, “The Downward Spiral,” The Downward Spiral
- Bruce Cockburn, “Yanqui Go Home,” Stealing Fire
- Donny McCaslin, “Warszawa,” Beyond Now
- Prince, “4 the Tears in Your Eyes,” The Hits/The B-Sides
- Pink, “Just Give Me a Reason,” The Truth About Love
- Zapp, “So Ruff, So Tuff,” Historia de la Musica Rock: Locas
- Red Steagall, “Bob Wills Music” (from my friend Catherine’s mix “Texas Radio and the Big Beat”)
- The Bad Plus, “Thriftstore Jewelry,” Prog
