Friday, January 5th, 2007 | Music

1. Recovering the Satellites, Counting Crows (Recovering the Satellites)
2. Spanish Castles in Spaces, The Orb (Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld)
3. Spoonman, Soundgarden (Superunknown)

8. Soir de fete, Amelie Soundtrack (!!!!)
9. Isobel, Dido (No Angel)
10. A Murder of One, Counting Crows (August and Everything After)

…how odd, four (#2, #5, #6, #8) completely instrumental tracks (or vocal-less in the case of aphex & orb) and three counting crows tracks…all of which are among the best.

favorite w/vocals: American Girls… “American Girls are feathers and cream, coming to bed so edible”… Whoa! What a line!!
favorite w/o vocals: Soir de fete… I *heart* Amelie and its goofy French carnivally, music box music

get your FRT on: howard, ben, ellen, jessica, brian, fred

Hey,

Found you thorough google blog search because you mentioned Counting Crows so I assume you are a fan. I did some writing about the band recently which I’m putting up on my blog in 5 parts.

Check it out if you want to:

very interesting… a sort of personally based critical analysis/dissertation/love note to the counting crows… i’ve got to say, i’ve personally found myself dissecting the lyrics to find out why i’m having *such* a powerful emotional response… its good to know i’m not alone.
