Today's listening was as excellent as I expected!
On my known songs, a shout-out to the Counting Crows song. While it wouldn't be my #1 from them, I like it a lot despite its being overplayed, and I'm glad to see that smelly guy get some love in the countdown. Also love both of the Wilco picks. "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" was on my medium list with another Wilco we haven't seen (and won't). "Jack and Jill" by Raydio was a song I didn't realize I knew, but I was happy to hear it once I recognized it. And if you choose a Stevie Wonder, Beach Boys, Nina Simone, Big Star, Temptations, or Bob Dylan song, just consider it auto-liked. OK, maybe 85% of Bob Dylan songs.
I put any Run the Jewels song into an auto-like but never remember which ones I know and which I don't. I loved today's pick.
On the new-to-me songs, I give a heart to "Hypnotize" by Notorious B.I.G., "24 Frames" by Jason Isbell, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra, and, in the biggest shock to me, "Cemetery Gates" by Pantera.
But my favorite where-you-been-all-my-life selection from today was "B.O.B." by Outkast. Yes, I've heard of the song and know I should know it. Maybe I've heard it before but it's hard to imagine I would forget it. Frenetic, almost out-of-control but somehow also repetitive so never slipping out of control, what the hell is this is this techno is it rap is it punk is it gospel? What a ****ing ride. Left me breathless. Instantly onto my "favorites" playlist. Wth.
