Well, it *is* what you described.
You should hear their cover of "Whole Lotta Rosie."

Hayseed Dixie! I love those guys! My wife cringes whenever I play them, alas. A Nova Scotia fiddle group called Kilt did a pair of covers: Come on Eileen and I Was Made for Lovin' You, on their first album. I found an "Air Guitar Competition" version of the the KISS cover here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVuMSts49uo (as previously mentioned, ignore the video :-). |

I kinda wondered about Dr. Frost's playlist since her bio says she prefers instumental jazz.
This begs the possibity that she has specific - and possibly radically different things on her mp3 player for varying occasions.
If she's got a lot of work to do, she might require something sprightly that would give her a bit of momentum - like Dave Brubeck's Take 5, or, if she's in a bad mood because she's had to deal with [*gasp*] people, she might wash her mind out with a bit of Sun Ra, or even some instrumental Captain Beefheart. If she's working on something really tricky, she might even deign to put on some instrumental Zappa, which frequently sounds like jazz even though it's not. Something like John Coltrane's Ballads might accompany her before bed reading.
And so forth.
Just a thought.

I like your take on Frost's take on music, Captain!
To clarify, the playlists are songs we thought revealing of some aspect of each character, not music we thought they might be listening to. Thought Sol does like the Indigo Girls a lot. And he's secure enough in his own masculinity ("Or lack thereof," he insists I add) to admit it.

oh my, i love these guys. the cover of "fisherman's blues" has me swooning still. spoiled me for waterboys version forever...... Another thought: for Knock on Coffins playlist, i wonder if Peter Gabriel's "Mother of Violence" would have fit in or if it's too literal. the cricket sound in the background kinda' chills me in a 70's Vietnam sort of way. |

I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know that one. Which album is it from? (I dig Peter Gabriel.) |

Hmm. It might have, but with a couple of exceptions ("Digging in the Dirt," "Steam," "Solisbury Hill," and "Kiss that Frog,") I dislike his music, so I'm afraid I don't know it. (And would be unlikely to put it on a playlist that I was listening to endlessly for weeks on end. :-P)

it's the early weird stuff... blue car album, i think.... 1978. might have been melty-face album, tho. i may have had them only on cassette in the '80s. my current copy is on "Revisited," compiled in 1992.
and on a mix or two that i made.

You know, I had stopped listening to my collected Shadow Unit playlists for a bit (as I do when I become acclimatized to a fandom) but today I had an idea, and queued them up again, and --
Tracy Chapman, "Almost." You found the soundtrack to Brady's nightmares. I thought that track was great before, but wow. I salute your mix-making skillz. (Also, y'all have great taste in music. Earworm music. But.)

Poor Danny. He's got a couple like that, really. Track down Everlast's "Lonely Road," also. (and thank you! We like to think so...;-) )
