ambient noise volume 2

last nite | the strokes, is this it?
cause=time | broken social scene, you forgot it in people
this is how it goes | aimee man, BTVS radio sunnydale
like a stone | audioslave, audioslave
thinking about you | radiohead, pablo honey
rudie can’t fail | the clash, london calling
garden grove | sublime, sublime
lithium | nirvana, nevermind
crazy | gnarls barkley, st. elsewhere
all is full of love | death cab for cutie, the photo album
everybody got their something | nikka costa, BTVS radio sunnydale
sunshine and clouds (and everything proud) | clap your hands, say yeah, clap your hands, say yeah
everyday i love you less and less | kaiser chiefs, employment
hard to concentrate | red hot chilli peppers, stadium arcadium
little wing | jimi hendrix, experience hendrix
road to ruin | the libertines, the libertines
cheated hearts | yeah yeah yeahs, show your bones

i'm pretty happy with this CD and the process of putting the songs together was less torturous--probably because i was buoyed by alvin's enthusiasm (by alvin standards) over the first one. so i was at public house last night and this was played (when i came in, alvin was like "i knew you'd bring a new CD!"). it was fun, sunita, saad and i were enjoying the music and talking about beloved TV shows (and singing the theme music!) BUT the CD started skipping by the time the kaiser chiefs were on and had to be stopped. argh. technical difficulties. alvin, get a frakking iBook!

just a couple of notes on the music. "hard to concentrate" is one of the coolest songs for a wedding (lyrics here).

"all is full of love" is a cover of the bjork song by death cab for cutie. (thanks go to qiuyi for this)

sunshine and clouds is a one-minute instrumental interlude, which i thought was a charming notion.

two songs have been played on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "this is how it goes" (season 7, with aimee mann doing a cameo and saying "i'm sick of playing at vampire towns") and "everybody got their something" (season 2 or 3, methinks, with Buffy, Xander and Willow dancing to it in the Sunnydale High library...).
