I may have messed up the order around the end, but that’s the gist of it. And those are all the songs we played. I say we because Becca (who originally wanted not just two but three EPdM tracks) picked all the songs for this show (except the first two, which both come from Portland bands) and announced most of them, too. If you didn’t get it last week, the podcast is still available.

So, anyway, I have my computer back -- and with a screen on which things are visible. Unfortunately, my internet has been rather spotty -- actually, that’s a huge understatement -- so I’m still way behind. Until I catch up again, here are three nice things I learned this week:

Said the Shark’s wonderful song Shaky Heart (from the new album Silly Killings) is number one on the Electric Barometer list. Yay! Listen to or vote for it here.

Oliver North Boy Choir will release their next single soon. It sounds good, but I can’t say anything more than that, because it’s all top secret.

The Danish word for playlist is playlist. But over the past year, I’ve grown so fond of spilleliste (that’s what it is in Swedish, anyway -- or at least something close) that I think I’ll keep using it anyway.

Also -- for those who are interested, in addition to my regular Friday show, I'll be hosting Babylon Radio again tomorrow (it's on immediately after Ashtrays). The planned theme is early '90s rock, a la Nirvana... maybe some Stone Temple Pilots... and I'll definitely throw on that Mew track with J Mascis.
