More music for ya

A new playlist. I've done something different this time...you'll be hearing it right when you launch the page, as long as you have your computer's sound on. You can turn it off if you want. The tracks:

1. Doctor Worm (They Might Be Giants) - My theme song. Gotta have it first.
2. Welcome to the Black Parade (My Chemical Romance) - I love this band's sound. It's huge. Plus, it's a great song.
3. Title of the Song (Da Vinci's Notebook) - The standard boy band musical formula has been plugged into this a capella song by Da Vinci's Notebook. It's very funny, but I apologize for the laughter in the background. I think this recording was done in a radio studio, and the DJs just had to laugh into their microphones.
4. Hotel California (Gipsy Kings) - A Spanish version of the Eagles classic.
5. Korobeiniki (Ozma) - Anyone who ever played much Tetris will recognize this almost instantaneously. I apologize if this gets it restuck in your head.
6. Dead Man's Party (Oingo Boingo) - Oingo Boingo had some terrific songs, and this is one of my favorites. The band produced Danny Elfman, who is now a well-respected film composer.
7. Oops!...I Did It Again (Richard Thompson) - Yes, it's a Britney Spears song, but I much prefer this version to hers.
8. Redemption Song (Bob Marley) - This is a beautiful song, and such a passionate performance by Bob Marley.
9. Gimme Some Money (The Thamesmen) - This hit by the Thamesmen led to a long and fruitful musical career for the band, who later renamed themselves Spinal Tap.
10. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) - This is just a grooving song. Great guitar work, great music.
11. Mahna Mahna (The Muppets) - This song makes no sense. I love it.
12. Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel) - Gabriel's first single after splitting from the band Genesis. The song is an exploration of his feelings following that split. It's a wonderful song, and the meter is in 7 rather than the traditional 4.
13. Genius In France (Weird Al Yankovic) - This is Weird Al's tribute to one of his inspirations, the great Frank Zappa.
14. Tamacun (Rodrigo y Gabriela) - Great acoustic guitar work.
15. It's Over (Squirrel Nut Zippers) - And let's close the playlist out with this one.

Hope you enjoy. If you go to the music post from 1/28/08, you'll find a link to my old playlist.

EDIT: And here's the link to this one.
