Expatriate (who are a stranger to me) have put together a fucking awesome playlist for Rage tonight. Right now Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine is on, and so far they've played Smog (SMOG!), Bjork (I would have chosen All is Full of Love or Hunter over Joga though), Massive Attack, Iggy and the Stooges, Air, The Presets, and Radiohead. Coming up are some Manchester and 80s classics.

One day I will programme Rage. One day, sonny. Let me have my dream. You know what would be awesome to include? Janis Joplin's Woodstock performance of Work Me Lord. Blow their fucking minds!

ETA: Oh my god, Stevie Nicks' hair is the size of a fucking bus!

ETA: The only thing that would make Rage better was if they put dates next to the song titles. There's some truly amazing codpiece action happening now and I wish I could assign it an era. But it's so big and red, perhaps it transcends time?

ETA: Oh god Morrissey, drop the gladiolus and TAKE ME AWAY FROM ALL THIS! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE HAIR! MARR CAN COME TOO!

You know I know you're the coolest; for me Expatriate's playlist is a a god-awfully lame nod to 'musical integrity': staple videos by staple (awesome) artists. No doubt their record company produced a list of music to endorse. 'Everyone goes through a Metal phase, suggest Expatriate, before selecting Metallica. Expatriate are the embodiment of phase 'let's be in a band'.

I have no idea who Expatriate are or what kind of music they play; I totally see where you're coming from with the Rolling Stone Magazine Top 50 quality of it, fo sho, and sure, the cult/popular nature of the AH-tists they chose doesn't really say much about anything at all, but dayum. I was just happy to have those videos to watch! And I was astounded that Smog got a nod!

If I say that I totally love Chris Isaak's Wicked Game, will you still be my friend? :-D

That's a great song. Enough reverb on his voice to give David Lynch a boner.
