Top Ten Songs I Played Loud Enough for You to Hear
Posted on 03.01.06 by Widge @ 4:09 am

That's why you kept IMing me. Turn that shit down, you said. Hell no, I said. Not my fault that my psychic amp is turned up to 11. Put on your tin foil hat. And you said, hell no–it itches when you wear it. And I said, tough. And you said, okay, fine, at least quit playing that Mariah Carey album.

And I paused.

Then I said, um, whose mind are you listening to?

10. "Silent Seven" - Controller.Controller
9. "Blue" - A Perfect Circle
8. "Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here" - 65 Days of Static
7. "Naked Cousin" - PJ Harvey
6. "In Transit (for you)" - Matchbook Romance
5. "We Know Something You Don't Know" - DJ Format
4. "Hide and Seek" - Imogen Heap
3. "Ode to Divorce" - Regina Spektor
2. "Untitled (everything but suicide)" - Gnarls Barkley
1. "Human" - Carpark North

Incidentally, a new chapter of Overkill is live here.

Okay, that's it. That's my rhyme. Take it to the streets.

  1. I must need to get my psychic ears cleaned out. Becuase I've been IMing you for entirely different reasons.

  2. Thumbs up to "blue." I'm trying to listen to the rest right now.

  3. I can't get into that Imogen Heap track. Or the band. Never could. Great mix otherwise.

  4. Thanks, Goose. Yeah, normally I'm not a vocoder kind of guy. I hear any recent Cher tracks–where she seems to use one in EVERY! SINGLE! SONG!–and it makes me want to hurt orphans. Of course, Cher does that to me in general, so maybe that's a bad example. But regardless–no idea why it works for me in that one. I go on odd musical tangents.

This is my latest book. Short stories written especially for you, or at least someone who reminded me a lot of you at the time.

Read it for free here. Or if you like paper, buy it here.

Then tell all your friends about it. Or all your enemies. I'm not particular either way.

They're not perfect, but they'll do in a pinch.
