Friday Random Ten: Genius Edition
"I could be there when you land"
Each Friday I'll post a playlist built using the iTunes Genius feature based on the first song I find myself singing that morning.
This morning I woke up with Franz Ferdinand's 'Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On' on my lips even as my eyes were still opening.
Here's what iTunes did with it:
- Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On by Franz Ferdiand
- I Summon You by Spoon
- Ocean of Noise by The Arcade Fire
- 505 by the Arctic Monkeys
- Summersong by The Decemberists
- Turn Into by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
- Hands by The Raconteurs
- Barely Legal by The Strokes
- Jacqueline by Franz Ferdinand
- Energy by Apples in Stereo
'Eleanor' might be one of the best, but underrated Franz Ferdiand songs. It is very different from their usual dance-rock forte, but I've always liked it since the first listen, and it is probably my favorite song of the list. According to iTunes the track with the most plays is 'Ocean of Noise' which is not surprsing, because iTunes seems to love the Arcade Fire's Neon Bible. The song with the least plays is '505' by The Artic Monkeys. It's been played one time back in July of 2007.
The Apples in Stereo track, 'Energy' is a free download when you install Amazon.com's MP3 downloader, but I already owned--and loved--the entire album.
