i see you sitting on your suitcase, i see you sleeping in a chair

the handsome family - all the time in airports

this show was done on thursday, june 8, i just got around to posting it today. this marks my return to the airwaves after some time off. no particular theme today just some new music. for someone that dislikes flying i find it funny that i like songs about flying and airports so much such as this new handsome family tune. some other favorites are air traffic control by jets to brazil, window seat by john wesley harding and movie script ending by death cab for cutie. well that last one technically isn't about airports but the lovely video takes place in an airport and perpetually runs through my head when i have the unfortunate need to fly.

portastatic - the sunset rock
great lakes swimmers - see you on the moon
cat power & karen elson - i love you (me either)
the essex green - sin city
loose fur - the ruling class
jon auer - four letter word
i love you but i've chosen darkness - at last is all
morrissey - on the streets i ran
the handsome family - all the time in airports
tilly & the wall - bad education
the robot ate me - bad feelings
stephin merritt - the little maiden of the sea
snow patrol - chasing cars
wolfmother - woman *
frog eyes - one in six children will flee in boats
russian circles - enter
don caballero - i agree...no!...i disagree
jolie holland - you're not satisfied

denison witmer - are you a dreamer?

david & the citizens - big chills
mammoths melting out of the ice - happy birthday motherf#$%^&
the lovely feathers - pope john paul
the concretes - the chosen one
the eels - hey man (now you're really living)
the eels - i like birds


* i've read about this band and a few folks whose opinion i value that have gone nuts over this band. i hate this word but i think the best way to describe my reaction is "nonplussed." perhaps i'm unimpressed because i'm possibly the only heavy metal fan in the world that despises led zeppelin and this band certainly worships at the alter of plant and page. if i want to hear "misty mountain hop" i'll listen to classic rock radio for about 10 minutes rather than this rehash.
