Remembering Mojo Music Part 4

Let's continue on my quest to find great music via diggin in the crates. Another favorite that came from Mojo's used bin was Brian Eno's Another Green World. I think the price was either $7.99 or $8.99, but it was worth every penny. Another Green World is the perfect crash-course in all things Eno. It has the weirdo glam rocker "St. Elmo's Fire," the ambient look-at-what-I'll-be-doing-for-the-rest-of-my-career jam "Zawinul/Lava," and the loveable, though admittedly sorta dorky "I'll Come Running." As World grew on me, I developed an obsession with Eno's music, art, and whatever else he does (I read his journal, for example). This is his best record.

30 Minute Weekend Playlist (4/4/08)

Happy Friday loyal readers! It’s April, but who could tell judging from the weather? I wouldn’t be shocked if it started snowing sometime this week.

Spring Break is now a memory, and summer is nowhere in sight. The playlist kind of reflects this. I have been listening to a lot of the Talking Heads and Gang of Four. Their mechanical sound is perfect for dreary Spring weather. The new Panic at the Disco record is surprisingly good, and I have book ended the mix with songs from Pretty. Odd. Everyone is saying it sounds like the Beatles, and I agree. However, it sounds nothing like “Two of Us”. Good song either way. Catch you on the flip side!

1. Panic at the Disco – Do You Know What I’m Seeing?
2. The Format – Do You Believe in Magic (Lovin’ Spoonful Cover)
3. Brian Eno – Sky Saw
4. The Talking Heads – Crosseyed and Painless
5. Gang of Four – Natural’s Not in It
6. R.E.M. – Shaking Through
7. The Beatles – Two Of Us
8. Panic at the Disco – Nine in the Afternoon
