A bunch of random things: November 1

Thirty-one songs I listened to driving back to Wisconsin from Illinois yesterday:

1. The Procession - Major & Minor
2. Girlyman - St. Peter's Bones
3. Ben Folds Five - Underground
4. Ben Folds Five - Narcolepsy
5. Brian Setzer Orchestra - Jump, Jive and Wail
6. Carmen McRae - You Took Advantage of Me
7. Neko Case - The Needle Has Landed
8. XTC - Respectable Street
9. James Brown - Living in America
10. The Blasters - Marie, Marie
11. Bourgeois Tagg - I Don't Mind At All
12. Robert Cray - Steppin' Out
13. John Mayer feat. Taylor Swift - Half of My Heart
14. The Five Americans - Western Union
15. The Bens - Just Pretend
16. The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun
17. Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
18. Killing Joke - Eighties
19. Sufjan Stevens - Let's Hear That String Part Again, Because I Don't Think They Heard It All the Way Out in Bushnell
20. XTC - The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
21. David Bowie - Suffragette City
22. Chris Clouse - Mona Lisa
23. Ryan Adams - Now That You're Gone
24. The Beatles - I Call Your Name
25. Kate Nash - Kiss That Grrrl
26. The Beatles - I Want to Tell You
27. The Posies - Dream All Day
28. XTC - King for a Day
29. Ben Folds - Still
30. Ben Folds Five - Battle of Who Could Care Less
31. A. C. Newman - Miracle Drug

The most surprising thing about this is that there are no New Pornographers songs, unless you count the ones by Neko Case and A. C. Newman. I definitely have more songs by them on my MP3 player than by XTC, so it's odd that I ended up hearing three songs by the latter and none by the former. Oh well, thus is the nature of randomness.
