I can’t get enough of “Life on Earth” – Band of Horses and “Fix You” – Coldplay. You could also list countless Radiohead songs on here.

I have to agree with you on Still Haven’t Found What I Am Looking For. As I have just entered my 40′s, the song still hits me just like it did 20 years ago when I was in college. …Perhaps I should maybe find what I am looking for since my life is probably half over now :)

Hey thanks James. I have never heard the original version of D7. I will check out the Wipers.

I just Stumbled upon Raptitude, and I’m hooked! Very nice essay about music you love. Comments from a fellow music nerd:
“Jolene” got lots of country radio airplay, and charted very well, but sold about 60,000 copies (back when people actually bought singles). Shortly after “Jolene” disappeared from the radio Dolly Parton bagan a well-orchestrated, financially successful crossover onto the pop charts and, eventually, the movie screen. Doesn’t diminish her prowess as a singer-songwriter; I’m just sayin’…
“D7″ is a cover from the great Portland (Oregon) band the Wipers. Their first album “Is This Real?” (only available as part of a boxed set with their second and third albums) is a flat-out masterpiece, full of tales of alienation and righteous anger, set to snarling Hendrixian feedback guitars laid over Ramones-era jackhammer bass & drums.

Hey thanks Harper.

I have liked what I heard of Matt Good’s solo stuff, but never explored it. I will check it out.

That you have “Ahead by a Century” and “Apparitions” on this list kind of makes me love you. :)

I found Matt Good’s first solo album (Avalanche) to have maintained the brilliant quality he had with the Matthew Good Band, but it’s been a bit of a downward spiral since then… But brilliance depends on time and place and state of mind, so there’s always hope for a resurgence of it.

I also wanted to say that I just discovered your blog this morning, and I’ve been reading entries all day. You’ve created a wonderful oasis of eloquent sanity here. Keep up the amazing work!
