Blurred Line

Cavan Radio Playlist: December 5, 2005

1. David Mead - World of a King: A fun, poppy tune to start things off.

2. The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic: The title track from the album that inspired my latest work.

3. The Hiss - Brass Tacks: Heabanging garage rock.

4. Hawksley Workman - Autumn's Here: A slow, reflective tune with a great horn section near the end.

5. Better Than Ezra - Sincerely, Me: BTE was cool back in the post-grunge days of the mid-90s. Since then, their material has been fairly eclectic. Here, they take on pop-punk and do a fantastic job of it.

6. Fountains of Wayne - Hey Julie: An amazingly fun and upbeat pop tune from the guys who sang about Stacy's Mom.

7. Jeremy Fisher - Singing on the Sidewalk: Another fun, laid-back pop song from a guy who toured across Canada on his bike.

8. Louis XIV - Hey Teacher: Equal parts garage and glam rock.

9. Matthew Good - Generation X-Wing (Acoustic Version): This one may be Good's best ballad, which is no small praise.

10. The New Pornographers - The Jessica Numbers: I know, I already did one of their songs, but I've been listening to a lot of this band.

Actually, I'm always surprised at how many writers wax poetic about the inspiration process. For me, it goes like this: Hey, that would be cool. And I could put it together with this other thing. Oh, and that other thing that I tried to write for the last thing but it didn't work? It would totally be awesome here. Generally, that's a pretty accurate description of what goes through my head when I'm coming up with a good idea. Any opinions on this? In other news: One of my fave bloggers in the world is John Scalzi. His debut novel, Old Man's War, was just nominated for a Hugo Award and, as if that's not enough, he's up for the Campbell as best new writer. Go say congratulations. On the home front: My apologies for the lack of updates around here, but you can expect them to continue for a little while. It's crunch time at school right now - I've got a trio of big essays on my plate at the moment.
