Playlists -- Writer's Block

The idea for this stems mostly from the fact that I happen to love "Kurt Vonnegut" from Born Ruffians and I wanted to do a writer's playlist around that. So it's about the process, the products, the greats. There's a live version at the top, and a sound-only link at the bottom. (They didn't play the whole song on the first vid.) Sharpen your pencils!

The Lineup:

1. "Handwriting" by Bottom of the Hudson (Unofficial Vid -- In the olden days.)

2. "Cut Cut Paste" by Tokyo Police Club (Live -- Something I always do when I write...)

3. "You Could Write a Book" by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (Live -- ...If you were Kurt Vonnegut?)

4. "& So It Goes" by Albert Hammond, Jr. (last.fm -- Not sure if it's meant to be, but I always thought this came from the saying in Slaughterhouse-Five.)

5. "Kilgore Trout" by The Appleseed Cast (last.fm -- Science Fiction writer in Slaughterhouse-Five)

Playlists -- Robot Songs

Why robots? Just because I can.

The Lineup:

1. "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk (Official Video -- "We wanted ones like Daft Punk." Yo.)

2. "Citizens of Tomorrow" by Tokyo Police Club (Live)

3. "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead (Jools Holland)

4. "Sad Robot" by Stars (Live -- "Do you like the ambient noise box?" Random, and yet, I heart.)

5. "Doyle is Dead" by Apes & Androids (Live)

Video. "Robots" by Flight of the Conchords (clip from the show)
