Last night I finished The Sopranos. While not as good as The Wire, still a pretty good series. Seven seasons means a lot of episodes and I will definitely miss it. Next up for the exercise bike? The Shield. Now a random top 10 for my barely on life support NCAA bracket:
1. Queen of the World -- The Jayhawks
2. Crackity Jones -- Pixies
3. From a Whisper to a Scream -- Elvis Costello
4. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Part 1) -- Flaming Lips
5. Buzzards and Dreadful Crows -- Guided By Voices
6. Youth -- Beat Happening
7. Fly -- The Jam
8. Wild Thing -- X
9. Land of Canaan -- Indigo Girls
10. You Can't Always Get What You Want -- Rolling Stones
Bonus: The Prisoner -- The Clash
Btw, last weekend I played the 50,000th song on my I-pod. It was an R.E.M. song. What's your top 10?
1) What's Become of the Baby - Henry Kaiser/Henry Kaiser Plays Dead
2) Let's Invite Them Over - John Prine/In Spite of Ourselves
3) Queen of Hearts - Gregg Allman/Laid Back
4) Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan/No Moe!
5) Nothing Was Stolen (Love Me Foolishly) - Phosphorescent/Here's To Taking It Easy
6) Streets of Baltimore - Gram Parsons/GP
7) Poor Lazarus - Dave Van Ronk/Inside...
8) Let's Be Still - Yo La Tengo/Summer Sun
9) What They Do - The Roots/Instrumental Album
10) Haunting at 1300 McKinley - The Black Angels/Phosphene Dream
Try the first season of Treme when it comes out (soon, I think).
