Ben Folds Friday!

admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:49:37 +0000

In honor of tonight’s show I’ve put together a playlist that all you Ben Folds fans should love. I’ve listened to this angry dwarf for years and can’t wait for the show. I might be medicated to the teeth (no pun intended) but I’ll be there. Thanks to Chris again for the VIP treatment and without further ado, the list:

Rockin’ the Suburbs
Still Fighting It
The Luckiest
Fired
Bastard
Sentimental Guy
Late
Trusted
Protection
Wandering
Get your hands of my woman
Kalamazoo
Rent a Cop

A playlist for the bipolar

Today’s playlist is a bit of a mixed bag but why stick to one genre if you don’t have to? There’s nothing quite like a bounce from Brad Paisley straight into X-to-the-Z. It always keeps you guessing. Pair this list with my latest suggested radio station on last.fm that’s chock full of Widespread Panic and Dave Matthews and you’ve got yourself a case of full blown culture shock, all stuffed in your head through your ear holes.

So, without further ado, I give you today’s Nano playlist.

Stupid Girl – Cold
Brother – Dark New Day
Son’s Gonna Rise – Citizen Cope
This Town – Rehab
Night Becomes Day – Citizen Cope
Break ya Neck – Busta Rhymes
From Yesterday – 30 Seconds to Mars
Livin our Love Song – Jason Michael Carroll
One more drink – Ludacris
My hearts broken too – Sugarland
Come Back to Bed – John Mayer
Simple Creed – Live
Old Apartment – Bare Naked Ladies
Already Gone – Sugarland
Everyday America – Sugarland
Ticks – Brad Paisley
Multiply – Xzibit
The Way You Like It – Adema
Orange Wedge – Chemical Brothers
Evergreen – Dark New Day
Chicks Dig It – Chris Cagle

Viva Las Playlist

Exactly one week from now we will already be in the air on our way to Vegas. In honor of this event I gave the iPod some Dead Kennedy’s and let it work its genius magic. Check out this playlist:

Viva Las Vegas – Dead Kennedys
Haunt you Everyday – Weezer
Modern Chemistry – Motion City Soundtrack
Commissioning a Symphony in C – Cake
Love for Granted – Phoenix
If I Could – Jack Johnson
M&M’s – Blink 182
The Story – 30 Seconds to Mars
Vultures – John Mayer
I Constantly Thank God for Esteban – Panic! at the Disco
Bleed American – Jimmy Eat World
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground – the White Stripes
Pretty Pink Ribbon – Cake
Rockin’ the Suburbs – Ben Folds Five
If I Die Tomorrow – Motley Crue
The Other Way – Weezer
Still Running – Chevelle
F-Stop Blues – Jack Johnson
Breathing – Yellowcard
Battle of One – 30 Seconds to Mars
Do You Realize – Flaming Lips
My Way Home – Citizen Cope
Unconditional – The Bravery
Sheep go to Heaven – Cake
Breach Birth – Chevelle

Who would have realized that a slow Phoenix song would fit well on a playlist with the Chevelle? I guess that’s why they call it Genius.

Tonight we shall have Cake!

And there you have it. Hopefully the weather won’t be too bad for the show. At least we’re covered.
