Not the dance. I still have no idea what the hell that is – except that I know it's a dance.
Call me a Pod-hopper if you wish but when I'm at work, driving, etc., I typically keep the iPod on shuffle. I know many people may find this annoying but my musical taste really is all over the place and shuffle helps me find the tunes I'm feeling on a given hour or day. Sometimes it cracks me up, other times, it embarrasses me: this is why I don't let Spotify feed what I'm listening to onto Facebook.
So, here's a small chunk of my playlist today. I'm on a Dylan kick because (not that I need a reason) yesterday, I watched "I'm Not There", a film about the many lives of Bob Dylan. This was apparently the only film about his life he agreed to being made. It kind of surprises me that he did but on another level, I see why. Its cast of characters who portray Dylan is as all over the place as my iPod and Spotify searches – everyone from Christian Bale to Cate Blanchett. Seriously. And honestly, I think her portrayal of Dylan was, by far, the best.
If you care to hear any of the tunes below, I'm fairly certain that all can be found on Spotify, but if not, well, Google it, I guess.
Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues
Deer Tick – Ashamed
Middle Brother – Middle Brother
Bob Dylan – I Want You
Deer Tick ft. Nikki Darlin – Cake and Eggs
*I definitely think this is how the song was meant to be played and sung – drunk, and absolutely adorable. If you want a more polished version, get on Spotify, search for Deer Tick "Divine Providence" and it's the last song on the album.
The Tallest Man on Earth – The Gardener
Middle Brother – Million Dollar Bill
Every Time I Die – Partying is Such Sweet Sorrow
*Yes, I really do go from Dylan to Middle Brother to ETID. What?
Miniature Tigers – Bullfighter Jacket
Beach House – Take Care
Best Coast – When I'm With You
The Black Keys – Yearnin'
The White Stripes – In the Cold, Cold Night
