Your Ear Required

Sure, it's been awhile. Some might say I've given up on this blog. Those people would be correct. Well you know what. I still have this forum and I'm going to use it, damn it.

Every year I put together a montage for my adorable niece, Bradley. The most crucial decision made during the montage process involves picking the songs. Like an organic food snob, I only want to use the freshest, newest, home-grown music that appeal to all senses. Every song chosen must have been released within the past year, few exceptions.

For this year's montage, I want YOU! to help me select the third track. I have narrowed it down to a few choices for you cast your vote. "But Senator, what if I don't like these songs?" Well Timmy, you can nominate your own. I encourage the suggestions.

Sample the songs to the right and vote just below. After ONE week, I will pull the winner to use in the montage, whose debut will be 24 Jul.

"Running Cirlces in the Yard" by Colin Gilmore (listen to it on iTunes)
"You Never Know" by Wilco
"Forget Romance, Let's Dance" by We Should Be Dead
"My Friend" by Dr. Dog
"This is Your Life" by The Killers
"Life with You" by The Proclaimers
"Nikorette" by Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band

Or you can nominate your own by posting a comment

Please enjoy last year's montage for Bradley: "All the First Year Round"




Your Wilde Oscar Words:

"Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event."

"One's real life is often the life that one does not lead."

"Only the shallow know themselves."

"The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius."

I recommend "Never Had Nobody Like You" by M. Ward. It features Zoey Deschanel, so you know it'll be great. And, it came out in Feb. 2009.

Good suggestions. "Never had nobody like you" is my favorite song off that album (isn't saying much though).

Other songs that have come down the pipe:

"spanish for monsters" - andrew bird
"my flying saucer" - billy bragg & wilco
"tea for the tillerman" - cat stevens
"Whatever it is" Zac Brown
"Love Song" Taylor Swift
"Return to Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins

Most of these are disqualified though

I second Boog's suggestion.
