Spring 2010 iPod Superstars

by Zacharias @ http://inexactitu.de . May 19, 2010 . 10:43PM

Champions that will soon be retired, these are the tracks I overindulged in too many times on my iPod while listening to my expensive Shure SE110s, which I promptly lost in January; then, on some cheapo sony earbuds. About 3 weeks later, back into the sure grasp of Shure SE115s (which sound just as good and Jenny claims have a better fit.

The list, then.

Chamption Tracks

• C.R.E.A.M – Wu Tang Clan – from the Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers mashup. (free to download, too!)
• Just for Tonight – Groove Armada
• Paper Romance – Groove Armada
• Oil – MC Paul Barman

Albums

• Lock and Load – Denis Leary
• The Weather – Busdriver & Radioinactive with Daedelus
• Full Buck Moon Kaboom: The Mixtape -MC Paul Barman
• Black Light – Groove Armada

Podcasts

• 12 Byzantine Rulers (website)
• The History of Rome (website)
• Skeptoid (website)

A couple of notes: MCPB has a new full-length album, the first since  I was in goddamned high school. The Full Buck Moon Kaboom included some amazingly creative tracks, such as the hip-hop biography of Weird Al and the first half of the laws of power. So, I have high hopes for tracks I’ve heard the demo versions of and the MF Doom-cut jawns as well.

cheers.
