Independence from lame music
Tue, Jun 29, 2010
My predictions for this week: Elena Kagan will make it through confirmation hearings relatively unscathed, a lot more oil will spill into the Gulf of Mexico, Americans who were watching the World Cup will abandon it like a three-legged puppy and someone in Pagosa Country will do something drunken and stupid over the weekend.

We’re about to celebrate the 224th year of our country declaring independence… why not declare our own independence from lame music?

I report, you decide …

Mumps— Crocodile Tears.

Mothermania — Community Service.

Miriam Makeba — Homeland.

John Lee Hooker — I’m In the Mood.

Jussara Silveria — La Vem a Baina.

X — Los Angeles.

Belle & Sebastian — Your Cover’s Blown.

Beaten Awake — Coming Home.

My Morning Jacket — Evil Urges.

Gentleman & Jah Cure — Share the Love.

And a bonus 11 to kick start this thang: Anthony & the Johnsons — Hope There’s Someone.

Have a happy Fourth and keep your firecrackers in the trunk!
