BOOOOOOOOOOOOORED!!!

Today at work, my supervisor is gone. All my office co-workers are gone. Only people in, besides me are the maintenance guys and they are on-call all day taking care of maintenance issues (duh). Anyway, because I am so bored, I thought I would talk a little bit about my Yahoo Launch account. Well, not talk about it, but to show what kind of music I have on my "station." I turned it on today, and here is the first ten songs played:

1. Roy Orbison "The Comedians"

He played on the station because I rated "Pretty Woman." There is something about his voice that I like a lot. I am not familiar with this song, but his voice is so familiar that I like whatever he sings.

2. Pixies "Levitate Me"

They play a lot on my station, because I ranked them as one of my favorite groups. Love them, love the songs.

3. Tim Easton "Before the Revolution"

I don't know why he played on my station. Probably similar to another artist I rated before. He and the song were just ok to me. I would probably have to hear more stuff to make any final decisions.

4. Pavement "Stereo"

This is one of those songs that I can never get sick of. I can play and replay it over and over again. Its not like I am a huge Pavement fan, they are good but not my favorite. This song is just catchy.

5. Otis Redding "I've Got Dreams to Remember"

Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of Dream a Little Dream (you know, that movie with the two Coreys, where one of the Coreys' body gets taken over by an old dude and he likes that girl that looks like a poor man's Justine Bateman whose body also got taken over by an old woman). I like Otis Redding a lot, especially "Try a Little Tenderness."

6. Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water"

I don't have much to say here.

7. The Breeders "Cannonball"

To me, this has to be THE MOST catchiest (yes, I did just use MOST and ----iest in one statement) song ever. I love Kim Deal's voice. I love the bass on this song. The lyrics are just weird, which I like. Once again a song I never grow tired of.

8. The White Stripes "Passive Manipulation"

I don't own the latest CD, so I am not familiar with this song. It was over by the time I even noticed it was playing.

9. Rihanna "Pon De Replay"

Part of my pop guilty pleasures. I like the singles that she has had out so far. Plus her name is similar to my sister's so she gets some bonus points there.

10. Duran Duran "Hungry Like the Wolf"

I blame my mom for my love of 80's music. Another guilty pleasure of mine, but at least I can spin it into almost being ironic or retro or something "cool" in one of those annoying indie/hipster ways.

and the next ten, without statements because I am still bored.

11. Gratitude "Drive Away"
12. The Promise Ring "Skips a Beat"
13. The Violent Femmes "Kiss Off"
14. The Apples in Stereo "The Rainbow"
15. Spin Doctors "Two Princes"
16. Talking Heads "electricity"
17. Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song"
18. Team Sleep "Ever" -- Apparently this and number 11 played because I ranked Ok Go. These two songs suck and sound nothing like Ok Go. Whatever Launchcast!
19. G. Love and Special Sauce "Cold Beverage"
20. Jewel "Drive to You" -- I guess when a popular (or in this case a formally popular) artist has a new album out, Lauchcast likes to pimp it by randomly just playing it on your station. Icky.
