What comes next?

I'm playing with this thing like it's a fire engine right out of the box on some Atlanta Christmas morning. I wonder how long it'll be before my interest peters out?

I'm making a CD right now, or at least I have been for some time. It can hold about 9 more minutes of music, and I'm not sure what else to use. It's heavy on The Shins and The Raveonettes, two freakishly good bands, and it's what one high school colleague once referred to as "Typically Root" in nature. For no good reason, I've decided to include the track list with my favourite lines from each song. Hey, why not?

1. Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine

"They will see us waving from such great heights
'Come down now', they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
'Come down now', but we'll stay"

2. Pink Bullets - The Shins

"Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass and awkwardly cast
That even I could be the star
I don't look back much as a rule."

3. The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin

"You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before"

4. Volcano - Damien Rice

"What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea."

5. Sugar (live) - Tori Amos

"Sweet boy, when they find you out
Tell me what you think they'll do
Tell me what you think they'll do
When they find out
When they find you out
When they find out you're just a pussy."

6. Young Pilgrim - The Shins

"But I learned fast how to keep my head up
Cause I know there is this side of me that
Wants to grab the yolk from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea."

7. Here Comes Mary - The Raveonettes

"Here comes Mary, all dressed in black
Her heart so heavy, a love attack."

8. Going to California - Led Zeppelin

"Find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings
Bright white men at the footsteps of dawn
Trying to find a woman who's never been born."

9. New Slang - The Shins

"I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'd have took to me like
Well I'd have danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well."

10. Overture - Bjork

Instrumental

11. Satellite - Amy Cambell

"And everytime you think the road is done
You turn around now and you're
Moving on
I get so tired of moving on."

12. One of These Things First - Nick Drake

"I could be here and now
I would be, I should be, but how?
I could have been one of these things first."

13. Kissing the Lipless - The Shins

"Called to see if your back was still aligned."

14. Love in a Trashcan - The Raveonettes

"If you touch that girl you know it's okay
People say she's a whore anyway
I think she looks like a nice vamp
Looking for love in a trash can."

15. Washing Machine - Sonic Youth

"Yeah, I took my baby down to the corner
And I bought him a soda pop
Cause he's so neat."

16. That Great Love Sound - The Raveonettes

"So I walk right up to you
And you walk all over me
And I ask you what you want
And you tell me what you need."

That's it for now. Perhaps this will be updated later on. I'ma go take my puppy for a walk in the park, because I'm feeling pretty fine today.
