iPod Dozen #1

In order to present a more tangible taste of the music reviews here on The Weekly Geek, we now have an imeem account that will allow us to share full songs from past, present, and future music features. Hurrah! Obviously, we’ll still be doing the quarterly music podcasts for commentary purposes, but the limitations imposed on us by the Fair Use Act doesn’t provide an accurate glimpse of the songs we snapshot. (How much can we really point out in 30 second clips?!?) This will hopefully be a much more efficient way to portray our listening habits and turn you on to some new tunes.

Track comments after the jump.

1. “High Times” – Elliott Smith
A look back at a dearly departed songwriting talent. From the forthcoming posthumous rarities release New Moon.

2. “In The Morning” – Junior Boys
Ladies with sensual singing voices are a dime a dozen, but the singer of Junior Boys proves that guys can get your heart racing too.

3. “Mer Du Japon” – Air

4. “Earth Intruders” – Bjork
As if I wasn’t psyched enough about seeing her at Sasquatch this year!

5. “Many Lives -> 49 MP” – Final Fantasy

6. “Four Winds” – Bright Eyes

7-9. “Star Witness” – Neko Case, “Ocean of Noise” Arcade Fire, “He Lays in the Reins” Calexico & Iron and Wine

10. “I’ll Believe In Anything” – Wolf Parade
Every time a track from Apologies to the Queen Mary comes on my random, I have to turn this album on and play it all the way through.

11. “Province” – TV on the Radio

12. “Australia” – The Shins
