Theme: I thought she talked about Mark E Smith On Air: Frank

As this was my last new music show for a while (Christmas show next, then best of shows) I tried to get rid of a lot of leftover songs that I have collected over the last year. Some of them seem very old to me as I have been listening to them for a while on my MP3 player, but I was surprised when I checked my archive and had never played them on the show. Nobody should be shocked that most of the show was in the indie pop/twee side of the musical spectrum. The third set was loosly related to the Jens Lekman song "Maple Leaves" which came up during a shuffle play while a bunch of us were at Erik's place. The song is a story about a guy who misinterprets his girlfriend saying that thier love was "make believe" but he thinks they she said "Maple leaves". Similarly there is confusion between the fall of their relationship and the band with Mark E. Smith, so that's why I played the Fall and the other two songs are just related to people where were also there. Things I referenced on the show: Various blogs I read: http://happyhappybirthdaytome.blogspot.com/ http://alex-loves.blogspot.com/ http://cloudberryrecords.com/blog/ http://heavenisabove.blogspot.com/ http://indiemp3couk.wordpress.com/ Fireball XL5 Setlist - November 27, 2009 TALK Boa Constrictor - Out of Nothing Butcher Boy - Carve A Pattern Red Sleeping Beauty - Summer Tells Stories Cars Can Be Blue - Do You Remember?
