Neil Young's "Sample and Hold" from Lucky Thirteen. Not the best track in the world, but actually matched the weird weather here in Chicago and the slightly "off" feeling with all the doom-and-gloom in the air.

i nearly always put on an electronic album or mix to start the day - today the new bjørn torske album, which is really excellent balearic stuff that should be of interest to lindstrøm etc fans.

I don't actually know. It was some random tune that was the ringtone of the dude at the cornershop where I charged my Oyster this morning. When I got on the bus, I put on a Lindstrom album, which was the first music I consciously chose.

Ah, today's first music is the same first music I've heard almost every day since I moved here, Em & Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie," c/o my early-waking next door neighbor. It's not loud enough to wake me up, but I do hear it when I go to the kitchen to make oatmeal and tea. The exception was one day a few weeks ago when he played "Three Little Birds" all day.

Listening to Dinosaur Jr's Without A Sound this morning, for the first time in probably fifteen years and I skipped over the first track ("Feel the Pain") so the first song I heard was "I Don't Think So".
I can understand why this isn't regarded as one of the band's higher points, but I don't really see why anyone should dislike it either. Murph's drums are missed, but this is far from an awful album.
