6 a.m. James Munsey

Maryland songs from three of my favorite brothers' bands.

* "Streets of Baltimore," by Flying Burrito Brothers
* "Pretty Girl from Annapolis," by Avett Brothers
* "Penn Station," by Felice Brothers


8 a.m. Rennie Twigg

It's all about the mouth (talking, laughing, smiling).

* "You Haven't Told Me Anything," by Keane
* "Don't Make Me Laugh," by Gomez
* "Talking Bird," by Death Cab for Cutie
* "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face," by Coldplay


10 a.m. Joseph Stockman

I am an avid gamer and what better way to game than rocking out on Rock Band 2? I download tons of songs, but here are some of my favorite Rock Band DLC (downloadable content) songs available to download to your Playstation 3.

And if it's not too much to ask I would like Tyler to play my mixtape, since he knows me as "Joe from Essex."

* "Love Spreads," by Stone Roses
* "C'mon, C'mon," by The Von Bondies
* "Geraldine," by Glas Vegas
* "Flathead," by The Fratellis
* "Spaceman," by The Killers


12 p.m. Natalie Bulawka

I think it represents a good mix of artists with strong songs that weren't necessarily hit radio singles.

* "The Party's Crashing Us," by of Montreal
* "Eriatarka," by The Mars Volta
* "Episodes," by The Roots
* "Zero," by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
* "International Dateline," by Ladytron


4 p.m. Larry Kinsler

I've seen each of these artists at Bonnaroo and feel they represent the "flavor and atmosphere" that is Bonnaroo. There truly is something for everyone at Bonnaroo, and I intend to revisit as often as possible.

* "Illegal Smile," by John Prine
* "Zebra," by John Butler Trio
* "Panama Red," by Peter Rowan
* "Let Me Be," by Xavier Rudd
* "Soulshine," by Gov't Mule


6 p.m. Drew Hall

The last four songs my iPod played on random.

* "Black," by Pearl Jam
* "My Girls," by Animal Collective
* "Werewolf," by Coco Rosie
* "Hurt," by Johnny Cash

Melissa's Top Ten For 2006

2006 saw such a wide variety of intriguing music,
so picking just 10 was tough! But with variety as my key,
here is my Top Ten for this year...

1. Beck - The Information
2. Jackie Greene - American Myth
3. Gomez - How We Operate
4. Brett Dennen - So Much More
5. Cat Power - The Greatest
6. Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope
7. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
8. The Slip - Eisenhower
9. KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope
10. Ben Kweller - Ben Kweller

Now this list was an ever changing idea for nearly 2 weeks, with easy additions and very tough subtractions. I don't know that I had the most scientific of equations for narrowing it down, but these are the albums that I've turned to for driving music or when I'm doing work around the house. I can't wait to hear what's coming next in 2007!


Was such a fan of this song from Gomez and the video shows the humor of the band and singer Tom Gray who is getting tossed about.
So check out 'girlshapedlovedrug' from Gomez.
