Some Songs I'll Never Play On My Show

Since my show is all about female artists, these guys probably won't get airtime. But I love these tunes/bands so much I wanted to share them. So here's a male-friendly playlist, for once...

Let The River In - Radical Face
Northern Lights - Bowerbirds
Shampoo - Elvis Perkins In Dearland
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song - Fleet Foxes
Earthly Bodies - J. Tillman
Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches
Cuervos - Porter
A Nervous Tic Motion Of The Head To The Left - Andrew Bird
Old No. 7 - The Devil Makes Three
Royksopp Forever - Royksopp

These have been stuck in my head recently, and I'm hoping this will force them out. They're great. Seriously. Go listen to them. And if nothing else, listen to the first one. I think it's my favorite intro of all time.

Show Playlist - October 20th

Some of my recent favorite "would-you rathers"...

...receive a call from the president or Satan?
...soil yourself every time you laugh, or get the big O every time you cry?
...hit every red light for the rest of your life, or always be wrong?
...have needles for leg hair, or have flares shoot out of your nose every time you say the word "the"?

And the strangest two...
...be born with a refrigerator on your back, or have an elephant as a close, personal friend?
...meet The Beatles, or eat beetle meat?

aaaaanyways, here's what I played:

Rainbows In The Dark - Tilly and The Wall - Bottoms of Barrels
Make Me Smile - Pearl and The Puppets
Polite Dance Song - The Bird and The Bee - Please Clap Your Hands
Dreams In The Hollow - Jesca Hoop - Kismet
Look at Miss Ohio - Gillian Welch - Soul Journey
You For Me - Terra Naomi - Go Quietly
The Fleeting Skies - Samara Lubelski - The Fleeting Skies
Many Moons - Janelle Monae - Metropolis-Suite I: The Chase
Hermit The Frog - Marina and The Diamonds
Cosmic Love - Florence and The Machine - Lungs
Remedy - Little Boots - Hands

*My answers:
Satan (I'd ask him if he likes purple)
Big O (it would be awkward because of the tears, but more fun than poop)
Red lights, ahoy (I can't be wrong. EVER)
Flares (as long as I can choose the color)
The elephant (was that even a question?? I'd pay money for the elephant)
Beatles (I'm curious to meet someone who would choose the insect option)
