This is the last weekend in my undergraduate career and I'm working on wrestling my paper into shape, so we will just jump right into the music today... 1. "40"/U2 (1) 2. On April 2/Headlights (2) 3. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go/Rhett Miller (4) 4. With Arms Outstretched/Rilo Kiley (4) 5. Go to Sleep/The Avett Brothers (3) 6. Bad/U2 (3) 7. Viennese Hangover/The Smithereens (10) 8. It/Prince (14) 9. Crackin' Up/King Khan And The Shrines (5) 10. Favorite Mess/Minus 5 (3)

I'm down to the revision stage on my paper and getting ever closer to being finished. Until then, I'm going to not post anything but this feature. The paper is due in less than two weeks, however, so other content is on the way. For now, let's get to today's ten... 1. Jeff Buckley Moves To Memphis (2001 Demo)/The Prayers & Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers (4) 2. Conscience Clean (I Went To Spain)/Pernice Brothers (6) 3. Creek/Superchunk (15) 4. Rainy Days And Mondays/Cracker (3) 5. Write It Down/Higgins (9) 6. When I Was Young/Nada Surf (10) 7. A Stone/Okkervil River (2) 8. King of Spain/The Tallest Man On Earth (6) 9. Bryte Side/Pernice Brothers (5) 10. Eyes on the Prize/M. Ward (2)

I've got some ideas for future posts but they will have to wait until I finish my Capstone project, a 25 page paper on how The Wire uses narrative structures of novels to act like a novel itself. It's due in less than 3 weeks, so most of my focus will be there until it's complete. So for now, expect to just see Sunday Shuffles... 1. Use Somebody/Kings of Leon (3) - last played on 11/24/10 2. Northern Lights/Bowerbirds (5) - last played on 2/26/12 3. Free Radicals Lament/Oakley Hall (3) - last played on 2/21/12 4. Inches and Failing/The Format (4) - last played on 3/6/11 5.
