Now We Can See


I predict much love for the 'o way o-o way o' refrain.  Total Zombie earworm.

three chord buzzpunk in the best Buzzcocks trad.  If they show up at Summerfest, I'm gonna squirt.

And with that, resumption of the long-suspended Friday Zombie Music Spew:

1.  David Bowie, Station To Station.  Back when Bowie was good.  and bisexual.
2.  Billy Bragg, Sugardaddy. 
3.  Radiohead, Motion Picture Soundtrack.  I know it's gonna endanger my IMS rep, but I have never really warmed up to Radiohead.  This is a good example.  Kinda turgid and goes nowhere.  And a big chunk of dead air.   Pitchforky.
4.  B-52s, Private Idaho.   Best three string guitar work until Presidents of The United States Of America.
5.  Pat Benatar - I Need A Lover.  Ouch, that one smarted.
6.  Kate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again.  I'm certain one of my friendly commenters will reassure me about having this song on my iPod.
7.  The Magnetic Fields - Two Kinds Of People. Better in the context of the whole collection of 69 Love Songs
8.  Suede - High Rising
9.  Waco Brothers - Out In The Light.  Sung by Milwaukee native Deano Schlabowske.  With a name like that, can you doubt he's from Milwaukee?
10.  Ministry - The Missing
11.  ZZTop- Blue Jean Blues.

WTF is wrong with iTunes today?  I'm gonna stop this one right here because that random is painfully weird.  Maybe I'll DL the new Green Day album.
