Ribeye Chriz!
1. The Rolling Stones - Factory Girl: Wow, what an excellent start to this week's shuffle-rama. The Stones began their classic run with this album. This is such a great song. Very folk/traditional. Makes me want to drink in a pub.

2. Rufas Wainwright - Waiting For A Dream: I don't know this song. But the transition between this and The Stones is fantastic! Very cool song.

3. Josh Ritter - Monster Ballads: I only have three of four of Ritter's songs, but I love them all. Doesn't that warrant an album purchase? I think it does. This is fantastic song. Organ, piano, drums... and vocal.

4. John Mellencamp - Authority Song: Yes, we all know I love the Coug. This track, from Uh Huh! just rocks and is one of his best early singles.

5. Bon Jovi - In and Out of Love: Early cheese from The New Jersey Syndicate. My shuffle has been sabotaged.

6. Frank Black - Holland Town: From the new double-album. It's growing on me...

7. The Rolling Stones - 100 Years Ago: I love this song. One of the highlights from the underrated Goats Head Soup. It contains a great solo that reminds me of something Slash would do years later for GNR.

8: Sufjan Stevens - Praire Fire That Wanders About: When critics all swooned over this album a couple of years ago, I didn't get it. I do now. 'Nuff said.

9. Walkmen - Emma, Get Me A Lemon: Really cool transition. Great new band. This album will forever remind me of driving the back roads of C'Ville with Josh in his Volvo.

10. Damien Rice - The Animals Were Gone: From his latest album. Not too bad. He is kind of hit or miss for me... but he can write a moving number.

Final Thoughts: Mellencamp and Bon Jovi bring down this shuffle. Two Rolling Stone songs don't help, but they also don't hinder. Much better than last week. Next week, expect a stellar return to form (just after my IPod receives a Bon Jovi lobotomy).
