Sirius Playlist - Week 6 (Tribute to Syd Barrett)

I didn’t create this playlist with Syd Barrett in mind, but I did dedicate the show to him. Coincidentally it fit. I was feeling especially morbid when I made this one that turned out to be one of my favorite playlists so far.

If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, these are the songs I played on my last weekly Sirius radio show (every Tuesday night on Left of Center @ 10 PM EST). If you’re wondering why I waited a whole week after the show aired to post this – it’s because I’m really good at procrastinating certain things. If you’re wondering where the playlist from July 4th is – I took that week off. This is the playlist from July 11, 2006 (with some MP3s)….

1) The Big Sleep – You Can’t Touch the Untouchable

The Big Sleep just played with Professor Murder at Supreme Trading in Brooklyn.

2) Professor Murder – Champion
3) MIA – Fire Fire
4) TV on the Radio – Let the Devil In
5) Janes Addiction – Mountain Song

6) The Flaming Lips – Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell
7) Radiohead – Talk Show Host
8) Neutral Milk Hotel – Naomi

Bob Dylan is on tour. Elvis Perkins too. M Ward too.

9) Bob Dylan – When the Ship Comes In
10) Elvis Perkins – Ash Wednesday
11) M Ward – Helicopter
12) Bonnie Prince Billy – Master and Everyone

13) David Bowie – Rock N Roll Suicide
14) Broken Social Scene – Major Label Debut
15) Magneta Lane – Ugly Socialite

The This Mortal Coil box set is one of my most prized musical possessions.

18) Bjork – Pagan Poetry
19) Cloud Cult – Car Crash
20) Antony & The Johnsons – What Can I do? (w/ Rufus)

Playing Bjork, Cloud Cult and Antony after This Mortal Coil makes me happy. Acid House Kings just passed through the U.S.

22) Angela McCluskey – Know it All
23) Andrew Bird – Skin is, My
24) The Weakerthans – Left and Leaving

The Weakerthans were just here too, and I’m sad I missed them to see Yo La Tengo. Rodrigo Y Gabriela are playing Joe’s Pub on August 7.

27) Opeth – To Rid the Disease
