since email doesn't appear to be working out, maybe i'll get it to you this way. oh. i suppose i could try sstafford@triton.net okay, i'll do that too. but here's the bnl list. Chris Best Ms. Eilola American Literature 14 May 2004 A Study of Motivation A Study of Life-style A Study of Theme Dav, I’ve been thinking of some stuff for you to listen to, from what I know you have. Barenaked Ladies: Gordon – (the “Pepsi bowling ball” one) really, it’s all worth listening to, but these in particular. Track 4, “Brian Wilson,” something I think we could play. Even if we don’t, it’s a good listen. Track 6, “Wrap Your Arms Around Me,” something kind of mellow, that I’d like to play, but realistically wouldn’t happen. Track 7, “what a good boy,” possible for playing. I like the vocals. Not much piano to speak of. Track 8, “king of bedside manor,” fun to listen to. That’s about it. Track 9, “box set,” GREAT song. Good piano, too. I would love to play this one. Track 12, “blame it on me,” much like wrap your arms around me, but with piano. Maybe You Should Drive – (orange one) same thing as Gordon, very listenable album. Good piano on this one. Track 1, “Jane,” is worth a listen Track 2, “intermittently” might be playable. Doubt it. Still a good song. It’s got that bossa nova groove in it. Track 3, “these apples” takes two guitars, but I absolutely LOVE this song. Catchy too. Track 4, “you will be waiting” mellow. Decent piano. Track 5, “A” upbeat, nice break tune. MORE COWBELL! Track 7, “alternative girlfriend” eh. Nice and heavy. Not my favorite. Track 8, “am I the only one?” I like it. Not one we’d play, though. Track 9, “tiny little song” I think this would be cool to play, just as a feature for you, if you can do it. Because you don’t get many times to shine. Might be rhythmically difficult for you. Track 10, “life, in a nutshell” good song. Nice mix of energies. Two guitars, however. Born on a pirate ship – (blue, with white steering wheel) different sound. Same ladies. Track 2, “straw hat and dirty old hank” good song. No keys. Just two guitars. You could synth the accordion. Track 4 “this is where it ends” I kind of like this one. No recording on my computer though, so I can’t give it a quick listen. Hm. Track 5, “when I fall” I absolutely love this song. It’s one of my biggest favorites in their entire catalog. Not much for you to play though. Track 9, “break your heart” I love this one too. But again, not much for you to do. Track 11, “same thing” again, no recording of this one. But I know I like it. For what it’s worth. Track 13, “in the drink”. I just like to sing this one. Stunt – (light blue, with a strange man in a dunce cap on the side) lots of catchy tunes on this one. Track 1 “one week” terribly pop. Got quite a bit of airplay. Track 2 “it’s all been done” less pop, but same as one week. Track 3 “light up my room” I like this one. I’d like to play it. But there’s the guitar problem again. Little rinky-dink keys. Track 5 “leave” another good one. Not very playable. But nice for your ears. Track 6 “alcohol” great tune for us to play. Nice and up-tempo. Something I think the crowd would enjoy. And a nice synth part for you, to boot. Track 9 “never is enough” I like it. Some organ for you. Track 10 “who needs sleep?” not a bad tune. At the very least, worth a listen. Track 12 “ some fantastic” just a fun one to listen to. And some piano in there for you. Maroon – nice synth and electric guitar on this album. Terribly pop, though. Took a while for me to get hooked. Good to listen to in the car. The only one that I would particularly like you to listen to is track 6, “conventioneers,” which I think would be fun to play. Kind of mellow, though. Everything to everyone – Track 1 “Celebrity” good piano. One of the singles. Track 2 “maybe Katie” I like this one. Crazy synth part. Track 3 “another postcard” I actually kind of hate this song. I had it stuck in my head today while I was mowing lawn. I kept singing “starsky and hutch chimps, dressed up in women’s underwear” yeah. Track 8 “upside down” I like it. Not really something to play or anything just to listen to. Track 9 “war on drugs” one of my favorites on this album. Clever lyrics, as always. Relaxing. Track 10 “aluminum” probably the best on the disc. And the only one that would be feasibly playable for us. We’d have to dummy down some parts. But the piano’s good for you. Track 11 “unfinished” also possibly playable. i know it's a lot of shit. but you'll know the ones that i REALLY like, and those are the ones important to listen to. but i'm hoping to get you addicted, and then you can pick your own favorites. i'm working on the something corporate list, which will be substantially shorter. i guess, you can just listen to those two all the way through, and just make notes on what catches your ear. just keep a pen and paper handy while you're listening. i'd like to give you my incubus, but i don't want to part with it until i have my bnl safely in hand. after all, I need something to listen to. |
