The National - "Mr. November"
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over,
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November,
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over,
I won't fuck us over, I won't fuck us over,
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November,
I'm not a great The National fan, but this song, particularly these lines, sent chills down my spine during the concert.

Mono - "Silicone" (Formica Blues)
The name is just Mono, not Mono Triphop, but I probably needed to distinguish?
It's catchy, triphop-y
Listening to the Formica Blues album now; it's good, but not overwhelming.
"High Life" is actually pretty horrible: 80's candy-pop.

Fluke - "O.K." (Oto)
On the Underworld (added variety: U.N.K.L.E.) channel.
Pretty nice trance-beat, slow.

Eric McFadden - "Ship Without A Dock" (Let's Die Forever... Together)
Dark low voice, dancing violins, quick waltz.
Party!
Bright Eyes - "First Day Of My Life" (I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning)
Very soft, very singer-songwriter, broken-heart-at-the-feet-of-flowergirl ish.
Yet... nice.
Elvis Perkins - "While You Were Sleeping" (Ash Wednesday)
Decemberists - "A Cautionary Song" (Castaways And Cutouts)
Funny, this one is played on the "Devotchka" (add variety: Arcade Fire) channel, not the Decemberists channel.
I can say for sure I do not like *every* Decemberists song, but the ones I like, I like really well.
This one, a sweet accordeon-polka, is good!

Today Is The Day - "Temple Of The Morning Star" (Temple Of The Morning Star)
Curious, bit x-rated-ish.
Folk and tidbits of Godspeed, you! Black Emperor
Sonny Bono - "Pammie's On A Bummer" (Inner Views)
Another melancholy '60's singer-songwriter.
Very Cohen / Dylan-ish. Including tambourine!
Cat Stevens - "Lady D'Arbanville" (Box Set)
Always thought I never was a big Cat Stevens fan, but this song is pretty good.
Singer-songwriter, slightly melancholy.

Chronicles Of Riddick
Dunno why but this is one of those films I sometimes yearn to see.
Loved it again.

Reverend Horton Heat - "In Your Wildest Deams"
Supposedly almost as famous as the Cramps, with fantastic psychobilly songs.

Rickie Lee Jones - "Have You Had Enough" (Have You Had Enough (Radio Single))
Jazzy, swinging.
In her biography she is compared to Joni Mitchell, which seems a bit strange to me.
It also says she did a lot of Beat-influenced spoken word monologues. And worked with James Newton Howard "for her slickets, most synth-driven outing to date."
