Eclectic Waves

yaaresse gave me the letter K. "K" I thought. Hmmmm... nothing immediately came to mind. Off to iTunes... this wasn't easy...


1. Killerwhaletank - the Tragically Hip (maybe a bit of a cheat, but that's how it's known - a version of "New Orleans is Sinking" preceded by one of Gord Downie's wonderfully surreal tall tales.)
2. Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen
3. Kiss This Thing Goodbye - Del Amitri
4. Kite - U2
5. Kodachrome - Paul Simon
6. Kiss Me - the Cardigans
7. King of Pain - the Police
8. Keep Talking - Pink Floyd
9. Karma Police - Radiohead
10. Kathmandu - Bob Seger

Comment and I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list 10 of your favourite songs that begin with that letter.

Seven songs I'm enjoying at the moment:

- "Come pick me up" - Ryan Adams - just heard a cover of it last night that reminded me of how much I loved it - some of the lyrics are:
"Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again"

- Lucretia My Reflection - the Sisters of Mercy (I dunno, it sounds summery to me)

- Help me - Scott Goudie & Neil Bishop (old track by a couple of local guys, great slide guitar)

- Nowhere with you - Joel Plaskett (really summer pop from Halifax, NS)

- Ghost Highway - Mazzy Star (from a live bootleg)

- I am, I am - April Wine (always loved Myles' voice, and this is from their most recent album, a retro-recorded return to their roots)

- Sometimes Always - Jesus & Mary Chain with Hope Sandoval (lovelovelove this, always)
