Jason's Playlist, Episode No. 4

No Comments

Seems every year, in November or December, I do one of these: Highlight the songs that are top-of-playlist. This time around (alpha by band name or artist first name):

  • 30 Seconds to Mars, Capricorn (A Brand New Name)
  • 30 Seconds to Mars, Conquistador
  • 30 Seconds to Mars, The Kill (Bury Me)
  • 30 Seconds to Mars, The Race
  • *Britney Spears, Everytime
  • Carly Rae Jepsen, Call Me Maybe [this one amuses people]
  • Chevelle, Forfeit
  • ^Chevelle, The Red
  • Creed, My Own Prison
  • D12, How Come
  • ^Eagles, Hotel California
  • Goo Goo Dolls, Home
  • Hinder, What Ya Gonna Do
  • *Linkin Park, Iridescent
  • OneRepublic, Feel Again
  • *Papa Roach, Burn
  • Pop Evil, Monster You Made
  • *Restless Heart, Fast Movin’ Train
  • ^Roberta Flack, Killing Me Softly with His Song
  • Shinedown, 45
  • Shinedown, Second Chance
  • *^Stone Sour, Hesitate
  • Train, Meet Virginia

Last year’s repeats are marked with an asterisk; the 2011 repeats with a caret.  Only one to make a triple appearance is Hesitate — odd, in that I”m not a huge Stone Sour fan. Maybe I’ll have to go digging through Xbox Music to see if there’s anything in their back catalog I find appealing.

Haven’t done a music-related post in 13 months. You’re welcome, Tony. That said, here’s what’s currently on heavy rotation, in alpha order by the artist’s last name:

  • Garth Brooks, “The Thunder Rolls” — extended version
  • Chevelle, “Forfeit”
  • Chevelle, “Send the Pain Below”
  • Finger Eleven, “One Thing”
  • Kansas, “Carry On My Wayward Son”
  • Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow, “Picture”
  • Linkin Park, “Iridescent”
  • Papa Roach, “Burn”
  • Pop Evil, “Monster You Made”
  • Restless Heart, “Fast Movin’ Train”
  • Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, “Islands in the Stream” — I usually sing along. Don’t judge.
  • Shinedown, “Save Me”
  • Stone Sour, “Hesitate”
  • Thirty Seconds To Mars, “Closer to the Edge”

Very little overlap from last October.

Beyond the contemporary stuff, I keep playing Glenn Gould’s rendition of Bach’s Partita No. 3 in A Minor and Tallis Scholars’ Missa Assumpta arranged by Palestrina.
