Playlist for 11/10/07

I can safely say that today’s show was one of my favorite’s in a long, long time – I think that the songs flowed well, I had some good conversations on AIM with listeners, and the transitions were tremendous.

I know I went a bit overboard on the I’m Not There Soundtrack but I’m quite impressed by it. I encourage you to check it out and check out the movie when it comes out and form your own opinion on it.

Here’s what you heard this morning:
U2 – “Bad (Live)” (from Wide Awake in America EP)
Eddie Vedder & the Million Dollar Bashers – “All Along the Watchtower” (from I’m Not There Soundtrack)
Jose Gonzales – “Down the Line” (from In Our Nature)
Sigur Ros – “Staralfur” (from Hvarf/Heim)
The Replacements – “Left of the Dial” (from Tim)
Talking Heads – “What a Day That Was” (from Stop Making Sense)
Sonic Youth – “Incinerate” (from Rather Ripped)
Sufjan Stevens – “Ring Them Bells” (from I’m Not There Soundtrack)
New Order – “Ceremony” (from Substance (1987))
Joy Division – “Atmosphere” (from Substance)
Radiohead – “Just” (from The Bends)
Yo La Tengo – “Sugarcube” (from I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One)
The Jam – “Ghosts” (from The Gift)
The Hold Steady – “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?” (from I’m Not There Soundtrack)
Stephen Malkmus & The Million Dollar Basher – “Maggie’s Farm” (from I’m Not There Soundtrack)
