Something Shiny

Two weeks in a row, that’s like a pattern or something… This is the second installment of the Thursday Shuffle feature. Here’s the lineup for the week:

Sugar Water by Cibo Matto
And the Same by Fugazi
Make You Cry by Jonathan Coulton
Five Man Army by Massive Attack
Life of Leisure by Rainer Maria

I almost wound up with two silly Jonathan’s in one mix, but alas, Reno from Jonathan Richman was nowhere to be found. In the spirit of full disclosure, these are song that came up on shuffle, I wasn’t able to include because they were not available on Grooveshark:

Bunny Boom by All City Affairs
Reno by Jonathan Richman

Alright, I’m shoe-horning Rainer Maria in here because I just realized I really miss them. They broke up a couple years back. Two of the members have gone on to release low-key, solo work, but neither is near as good as Rainer Maria in total.

So, rest in peace, Rainer Maria, or, you know, come back and put out another album.
