First day this year rode my bike to work. Feels great!! Don't forgot that Saturday is support your local record store day. Minneapolis is blessed with a number of independent record stores. I plan to go to Roadrunner Records, probably to purchase the new Los Campesinos! disc. What store are you going to? Here's a top 10 to get you in the mood:
1. Vertigo -- U2
2. That's Me Trying -- William Shatner
3. In Dreams -- Roy Orbison
4. I Mean You -- Thelonious Monk
5. Jackson -- Johnny Cash w/ June Carter
6. Round Midnight -- Thelonious Monk
7. Hash Pipe -- Weezer
8. Livin' for You -- Al Green
9. Strange -- R.E.M.
10. C'mere -- Interpol
Bonus: Echos Myron -- Guided By Voices
Well of course I had to have a GBV in there, plus a rare Thelonious Monk double shot! Plus 3 one word songs by 3 sort of one word bands. What's your top 10?

RIP Northern Lights, Let it Be and Positively 4th Street. I'll swing by the Fetus and maybe grab the new Nels Cline disc.
It wouldn't be a Big Mak list without a little NIN and Mushugga!
Wow, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Jackie Wilson, Supremes, good to see people still have that music on their I-pods.
Shoulda checked this on Friday so I'd known about Independent Record Store Day.
Gotta visit Fifth Element soon to get tix for Soundset and maybe the new P.O.S.
