Put your iTunes on shuffle and give the first lines from the first 30 songs that come up. Then, for amusement purposes, have people try to figure out what songs the lyrics come from. I've listed the artists to help you guys out (and no cheating on the Internet!), so without further ado…

1. "Watch your children around the abandoned well"

2. "It's a long way down but I feel alright"
Ryan Adams - Starting to Hurt

3. "I have a recurrent dream every time I lose my voice"

4. "You're now tuned into the motherfuckin greatest"

5. "I felt…

The long wait for my tracks played count to update is over, and I have officially reached 5000 scrobbles. Yay! Song number 1000 was Mausoleum. And track 5000????

My Room Is White (Flying Lotus Remix)

I picked up the mp3 of that song on stereogum about a week ago, and it's a very smooth song. I have no qualms about it being #5000.

Alright, no rest for the wicked. Onward to 10000!

Subterranean, 10-23-05

The Black Keys - 10:00 AM Automatic
The Golden Republic - You Almost Had It
Sleater-Kinney - Jumpers
Sights - Circus
The Sun - Lost at Home
Stellastarr* - Sweet Troubled Soul
Longwave - There's a Fire
Goldrush - Wait for the Wheels
The Living Things - Bom Bom Bom

Longwave were the guest. I quite enjoyed the Stellastarr* song–can't believe I'd never heard any of their music until tonight.

Only one song away from my thousandth scrobble. So what song is it gonna be?

*considers*

It wasn't on tonight. :(

Just added these to my master list of CDs, bringing me to a grand total of 447. These are purchases from last Tuesday.

Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Faithless - Forever: The Greatest Hits
Pet Shop Boys - Disco 3
Armin Van Buuren - Shivers

Loving the new Armin. I'm not sure what people were complaining about; I think it's a terrific CD. Faithless is excellent too, so I may have to work my way back through their catalog over time. Disco 3 is really fitting in well with my current electronic phase. And Death Cab? Well, I think…

The White Stripes - My Doorbell
Maximo Park - Graffiti
Longwave - There's a Fire
Hot Hot Heat - The Middle of Nowhere
Mando Diao - You Can't Steal My Love
??? (they didn't show the info)
Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body
Smoosh - La Pump
matt pond PA - Closest (Look Out)

Regarding tonight's show, I didn't much care what they played because I was so excited to find out that Death Cab were the guest. The White Stripes' song was good, and I enjoyed Longwave as well. Sounded a bit different from what I'm familiar…

The Dandy Warhols - Smoke It
Hot Hot Heat - Middle of Nowhere
Caesars - It's Not the Fall That Hurts
Autolux - Turnstile Blues
Dungen - Panda
Bright Eyes - Easy/Lucky/Free
The National - Abel
Mike Doughty - Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well
Architecture in Helsinki - Do the Whirlwind

Another good show overall. The only one I have to give a thumbs down to is Dungen, who are just too noisy and weird, even for me. Best video of the night was Autolux. Also enjoyed Caesars, Hot Hot Heat, and The National…
