KKCK Sunday Night Shag Playlist for 10/10/10

I’ve never claimed to be the world’s biggest Jimmy Eat World fan.  I have heard most of their stuff, and I’m pretty confident Inventions is the best overall Jimmy Eat World CD yet.  If you’re on the fence, get down and go get the album.

KKCK’s Sunday Night Shag Playlist for 10/3/2010

On Lonely Avenue, Ben Folds focuses on the music and lets High Fidelity author Nick Hornby handle writing the lyrics.  Quite a few of the songs sound like Folds wrote them himself, which means Nick and Ben are more alike that we ever thought (that and Folds delivers the lyrics like he spent months on them).  Does it work?  Some of the time it works great, while other times the songs come off like old BFF album filler.  Overall, it might be more for Folds fans only.  Hopefully you caught the show to judge for yourself.

If you didn’t, here’s what went down.

Dandy Warhols “We Used to Be Friends”
Ben Folds & Nick Hornby “From Above”

Marina & the Diamonds “Shampain”
Dirty Heads “Stand Tall”
Mumiy Troll “Polar Bear”
Ben Folds & Nick Hornby “Saskia Hamilton”
Apocalyptica w/Gavin Rossdale “End of Me”
