I have been criminally behind with reference to reading your blog. Catching up tonight.
I am not too proud to say that I have every Cyndi Lauper record to date (except the Christmas records), and love every one. There is nothing to confess, except that I effing love Cyndi Lauper! I also love Prince and every band he manufactured to release his music since his record company would only allow him to release one album a year. I have to admit that my favorite on this particular record is the cover of the Jules Shear song "All Through the Night". That one gets me every time.
My Neko Case favorite is "Set Out Running" from Furnace Room Lullaby.
I have yet to hear a song by Camera Obscura I don't love.
"Outfit" or "Heathens" would fight for my favorite on this particular Drive-By Truckers album. The song that really turned me on to them was "Zip City" off Southern Rock Opera. I agree that Decoration Day has held up as my favorite album by them.
I don't even have an ipod, as I am most often at a computer at work and at home, but I have a external portable hard drive that I carry everywhere. I am sure that my most played song would be either "Party Girl" or "Little Triggers" by Elvis Costello.

"Sometimes I just want to kidnap my friends and family and just move away to experience something greater and something more stimulating than my normal day-to-day drag."

A slim possibility it is. I dream that dream daily.

I wonder what the top 5 played tracks are on my iPod? Probably too embarrassing to confess on a blog like this. Check out closetbritneyfans.blogspot.com for my top 5 list.

<3 your blog! Keep up the good writing.

Man I love all those songs!! the new Neko Case album is so absolutely phenomenal, I can't get over it. 'When You Were Mine' is another amazing song, and I'll be honest, I love that whole record, just a bunch of great pop songs. What are you gonna do. Sue me. Let's not forget Camera Obscura either. I'm totally with you on the feeling of literally wanting to leave the country, city whatever, it's the universal feeling summed up succinctly. Great stuff and another excellent column.

The number one most played track on my iPod right now is Andrew Bird's 'Armchairs' off the album Armchair Apocrypha. Just amazingly beautiful, earnest, and sad. I won't give you the other four, because there's not a whole lot of variation. It's mostly more Andrew Bird and Neko Case.

Cheers,
Edward
