Brad 2006-12

1. A Wonderful Christmas Time - As Fast As
My favorite Christmas song. Though the McCartney original isn't on Rhapsody, this cover does it justice.
2. Anna Molly - Incubus
This song joins Our Lady Peace's "Clumsy" as first videos I've watched on a new game console.
3. The Payback - James Brown
This tribute to what is arguably the coolest James Brown track will now have to serve as a farewell. One thing we know about James. There were some things he just couldn't take.
4. Pepper - Butthole Surfers
The band with quite possibly the worst name (or job description) had this hit in the 90s.
5. Lonesome Valley - The Fairfield Four
A great old spiritual from "O Brother Where Art Thou".
6. Remember - Air
A smooth bit of electronica from a great mellow album.
7. Black - Aaron Lewis
Staind's vocalist does an excellent job with the Pearl Jam original.
8. Distraction - Angels And Airwaves
One of several awesome tracks from this album.
9. Welcome Back - Mase
The world's laziest rapper returned in 2004 (cleaned up and having earned a degree in theology) with this single.
10. Letterbox - OK Go
This clever spin on They Might Be Giants original further cements Ok Go's reputation for me.
11. Shalom - Pax 217
Crank this one up loud for old times sake.

Brad 2006-11: The Depressing 80s:

In grade school, I would often stay up late cramming for tests. Occasionally, I would turn to soft rock radio for some comfort. There was no comfort to be found there.
