& now on with the countdown... Here's a sunny Wednesday mix of songs I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO on my iPod right now.... thusly, you may want to COLOR ME OBSESSO:
Crystal Skulls -- Airport Motels
There's something about this song...(cue Pixies riff) But seriously, the Crystal Skulls are so overlooked. And what I want to know is why...WHY??? They're pretty wonderful... "Each time you're here the money disappears too many times..I need to let you go" Read more about the Crystal Skulls.
Grand National -- Drink to Moving On
Reminds me of the stuff I loved back in the early 90's..& makes me want to listen to "Ahead" by Wire or something. Learn more about Grand National on their MySpace page.
+/- (Plus/Minus) -- I've Been Lost
"Try to understand i've been lost...I'm not the only one ready to come down" This song... le sigh. I've been listening to it & staring mournfully out the subway train windows. What can i say, I'm LOVING +/- these days & you should too -- check out their MySpace page while you're at it.
Then, just when you think you know where I'm going, it all flip flops to the hip hop diggity:
Common feat Laetitia Sadler -- New Wave
I totally throw down the crown to this song! But when the Laetitia part comes in...flowers, bumblebees & hearts fly out of my ass <3<3<3 MMMM HMMM. Want to know about Common? Well go check out his magical shizz on MySpace.
Q-Tip -- Vivrant Thing
I love a Tribe called Quest & Q-Tip. I'm not skerd to tell you that. "Special girl, real good girl. Biggest thing in my itty bitty world" I like to kick it old skool, ya'lls. See what Q's been up to HERE.
Oh & see you Thursday, fly bitches!
Oh, the best laid plans of mice & men! Still hoping to catch you spinning your stuff before you become une grande global superstar DJ dame moving in circles faaaar, faaaar above us mere mortals... ;-)

Lovin' that Common track too! Thanks for sharing, as I've never even heard of it before. It starts out as an above average hip hop track, but then Laetitia's lovely multi-tracked voice comes in and we're transcended into pop heaven! Haven't gotten to the other songs yet, but they're on my download agenda.

Why, why, why are the Crystal Skulls so overlooked? WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS?
I <3 that Common song too, I haven't thought about it in AGES.
