some nights ago i was in bed listening to my green ipod hoping that it could help me falling asleep. which is something i almost never do because i always think i will wake up stuck in the wire of the headphones or that i will choke with it in the night. it was ages i wasn't playing my ipod and actually paying attention to what is in it. tons of songs i just put in it randomly in the last 2 years, usually quickly before leaving home to go to the airport to catch a flight.
that night i didn't fall asleep listening to these songs, they woke me up more 'cos they are almost all so horribly pop and i thought "what the hell is this?!" or "cool, i had forgotten this song" or "oh god, how much trash there is in here?! but i love it!"..
so here is a random compendium of some nice stuff in my ipod at the moment (+ some favorite lyrics):
* Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams "..and the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone.."
* Canned Head - On the road again
* Jefferson Airplane - Crown Of Creation
* Pulp - Common People "I brought her to the supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere"
* John Coltrane - Resolution & Acknowledgement [couldn't chose one.. the doublebass here is amazing!]
* Franz Ferdinand - You're The Reason I'm Leaving
* Sergio Cammariere - Sorella Mia "..perchè se amore è amore è quello che non chiede, perchè se amore è amore non pretendendo ottiene, però se amore è amore non cerca ma è trovato.."
* Iggy Pop - Lust for life
* The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now "..You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere/I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.."
* Arab Strap - The first big weekend

* Noir Desire - Le Vent Nous Portera
* Doris Day - Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
* Grant Lee Buffalo - The Whole Shebang

3 things:
1. Canned Heat- Going up the country (way better tune)
2. Libertines are catchy and awesome. But, Babyshambles "New Loves Grows on Trees" is the best song that heroin infused junkie ever wrote.
3. Hole rules. Best band ever. Period.
