If this month taught me anything it’s that I’m a little thin on the jock rock. Some of the songs are less about sports than what it feels like to get your ass handed to you on a platter. But I’m pretty proud of what I could pull off. I think most of my songs were just making fun of GWU and Davidson.

1 You Are a Runner and I Am My Father’s Son 2:55 Wolf Parade Apologies to the Queen Mary

2 Worlds Apart 2:56 And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead Worlds Apart

3 White Gymnasium 2:40 Talk Demonic Beat Romantic

4 We Will Rock You 2:03 Queen Greatest Hits

5 Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes 2:38 Propagandhi Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s As

6 Time to Lose 2:24 The Thermals More Parts Per Million

7 surfin on a rocket 3:45 air talkie walkie

8 Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down 6:28 Interpol Turn On The Bright Lights

9 Red Eyes And Tears 4:02 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club B.R.M.C.

10 Pipeline 2:20 The Ventures Surfing

11 Our Swords 2:26 Band Of Horses Everything All The Time

12 Nothing Better 3:47 The Postal Service Give Up

13 Non-Zero Possibility 5:38 At The Drive-In Relationship Of Command

14 I Love You Golden Blue 7:03 Sonic Youth Sonic Nurse

Sorry, Marcus, that was my fault. Sometimes it wants me to ‘moderate’ comments. And judging by your little Al Gore remark, I see why.
