What’s yours?
Mine, for some reason, is ‘Miss Blue’ by Filter, from the ‘Title of Record’ album.
It’s a beautiful track.
I just discovered Iron and Wine’s “Upward Over the Mountain.”
I’m now hearing it for the third time today 
7/4 (Shoreline) by Broken Social Scene
OR
Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone? by Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
Though today has been devoted to The Beatles.
I keep going back to Feel Good, Inc. (by the Gorillaz, just in case you’ve been living in a cave on Mars with your hands over your ears for the past year or so). Other than that, I’ve got some old favorites like Arcturus’ Generation Collapse or Death’s Scavenger of Human Sorrow.
That’s a toughie. I’m tempted to say K’s Choice’s entire ouvre but, if I must choose, I’d narrow it down to Everything for Free, Not an Addict, Paradise in Me, or Virgin State of Mind.
If medical science ever allows, I want to have Sarah Bettens’ babies.
Candyfloss, the hidden track off of Wilco’s “Summerteeth.”
The White Stripes live version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”. Christ, it I could emote like that just once I’d die a happy man.
Stan Getz, with Kenny Barron on piano, Night and Day. It was recorded a few months before Getz’s death, and there’s a long (wonderful) piano solo to give him a chance to catch his breath.
Heartbreaking, and very beautiful.
It’s “Apeman” by The Kinks.
Although I’ve played “Inward Singing” by Tenacious D several times in the past few days.
I shift every few days to a new one.
I can’t stop listening to Linda Perry’s “Fruitloop Daydream”.
Nick Cave/Bad Seeds’ There She Goes, My Beautiful World: First song in a long while I’ve been able to listen to three times in a row.
According to my ipod, it is a three way tie between Paper Thin Walls by Modest Mouse off The Moon and Antarctica, Fairy Tale of New York by the Pogues off If I Should Fall from Grace with God, and F.H.H. by RjD2 off Dead Ringer.
With honerable mention going to Bob Dylan’s Tangled Up in Blue.
Something from the Derek Trucks Band show I just got on CD (a show I was at last month)… I can’t pick a track… um… “Greensleeves.”
Rock and Roll Evacuation by Electric Six.
“'You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. Mostly because I find myself in almost exactly the situation he’s singing about… except that it wasn’t in a subway, and I wasn’t fucking high. Just fucking stupid.
Wake Up by Arcade Fire.
I saw them live by accident at a music festival in September having barely heard of them before. The whole tent was singing along to the chant (you’ll know what I mean if you know the song) and it was a fantastic atmosphere. I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
Just discovered the Secret Machines album a couple weeks back, so I’ve been stuck on “Pharoah’s Daughter” and “You Are Chains” for a little while. Honorable mention going to “Vicinity of Obscenity”, off the new System of a Down album.
Elmo Hope, “All the Things You Are” (from “Meditations”) – this pathetic, overplayed, POS tune actually sounds like something worth listening to in Elmo’s hands. Heard it a hundred times and I still don’t know quite how I’m going to make that first strike at transcribing it, to draw first blood.
O Mio Babbino Caro performed by East Village Opera Company - gorgeous and haunting.
