It’s not that my apartment has been completely silent. It’s not that I’ve been working in front of the TV – though I did watch Office Space again the other day (so funny!). It’s… well… I don’t know why I’ve been holding back on my playlists. But the buck stops here.

Sun Kil Moon – April
This is fast becoming one of my favorite albums of 2008. Mark Kozelek can do no wrong.

Great Lake Swimmers – Great Lake Swimmers
I was feeling oh so pensive this morning.

Simon & Garfunkel – Bookends
What kind of name of Garfunkel? What kind of name is Elrod? Touché.

Spoon – Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
I resisted this album for a long time, probably because everyone kept telling me how good it is. Don’t resist, give in.

Daydream Nation – Daydream Nation
Ah, bands that wish they were Sonic Youth. And I don’t even like Sonic Youth.

Alphaville – Forever Young
A friend of mine chided me for not playing this on 80s day. See what you made me do. Are you happy now?

Ulrich Schnauss – Goodbye
Or as my wife calls him, “The Schnauss.” Modern keyboard music to get me back into this decade.

Kaito – A Hundred Million Light Years
This guy’s trying to out Schnauss The Schnauss, and doing a pretty good job.
