Very nice work!

213 songs, evening in the Arizona desert, 79 degrees. and away we go…

1. “I Ain’t Got No Home” – Springsteen – from a Folkways tribute album to Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. I have the cassette. Bruce also does “Vigilante Man” on this one.

2. “Powerhouse” – Springsteen & Friends – from one of the Asbury Park holiday shows back in 2000. Amazing quality boot – you may have downloaded it a few months ago. Just looked up info about the song. It was written in 1937. See here.

3. “Stuff that Works” – Guy Clark – one of the country outlaws who’s music I need to spend a lot more time with.

4. “Wide Awake on the Voyage Home” – Liam Finn – Neil’s little boy coming into his own. A nice album – a lot of familiar melodies a la his dad’s Crowded House work, but original in its own right.

5. “Broken Household Appliance National Forest” – Grandaddy – everyone go buy the Sophtware Slump. LastFM has the full track streaming. Can never get enough of this spaced out, beautiful album.

1. Going Home With You by “The Alternate Routes” from “Good and Reckless and True”

2. “Home” by Zero 7 from “When it Falls”

3. “Today Will Be Better, I Swear” by Stars from “In Our Bedroom after the War”

4. “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” by Bon Jovi from “Have a Nice Day”. (I should be embarrassed but I really enjoy this song for road trips.

5. “House By the Sea” by Iron & Wine from “The Shepherd’s Dog”

1. Bruce Springsteen – Working On The Highway (from Born In The U.S.A.) I rarely listen to Born In The U.S.A., even though it was my introduction to Springsteen. It’s good, but there are too many better Springsteen albums.

2. Klark Kent – Away From Home (from Just Can’t Get Enough: New Wave Hits (Vol. 2)) – This CD set is kind of hit and miss. I would have no idea what this song was if you asked me, but it’s actually not bad.

3. Sufjan Stevens – They Also Mourn Who Do Not Wear Black (For The Homeless In Muskegon) (from Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lakes State). I really enjoy Illinoise (which I owned first), but I find this CD is too similar for me to get into it.

4. Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues (from Greatest Hits). There was a good chance this song was going to show up since it appears 3 times in the playlist. Dylan is one of my favourite artists (probably my favourite), but I never really liked this song that much.

Ok, song 4 showed up again (this time from Biograph Disc 1), so I skipped to the next song.

5. The Beatles – She’s Leaving Home (from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band). I’ve recently gotten back into the Beatles after seeing Across The Universe. I’m not usually into musicals, but that was an excellent movie.

1. Groove Armada – “Lazy Moon.” Nice sweet laid back track. Reminds me of summer. Too bad it’s a spring flood outside.

2. Van Halen – “Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)”
From Diver Down, my least favorite of the Diamond Dave era discs.

3. Analog Brothers – Analog Brs. vs. Silver Surfer
Kooky side project featuring Kool Keith and Ice-T

4. Run DMC – “Run’s House”
CLASSIC!

5. Clash – “Lost in the Supermarket”

3.

1. “Celebrate Me Home” by Kenny Loggins

2. “Going Home” by Mary Fahl, from the Gods & Generals soundtrack

3. “Can’t Find My Way Home” by Alison Krauss, from the Crossing Jordan soundtrack.
I like this cover better than the original. (Is that blasphemy?)

4. “Nothing Better” by The Postal Service, from Give Up

5. “It’s Better to Be Alone” by The Lonesome Sisters, from Follow Me Down

And, because I love the sixth shuffled song so much:
6. “Buffalo River Home” by John Hiatt, from KBCO Studio C Vol. 4
This solo acoustic version is miles above the (rather dull) studio version. This may be my favorite of all the Studio C recordings–it’s definitely in the top three.

For House (172 mp3s): “Hyacinth House” by the Doors from “L.A. Woman,” 1971.

For Home (420): “Homeward” by the Sundays from “Static & Silence,” 1997.

For Work (122): “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” by Willie Hutch from the soundtrack to “The Mack,” 1976.

For Better (84): “Better Days” by Graham Nash from “Songs for Beginners,” 1971.

To get to five I went back to Home for a second shot: “Sweet Home Chicago” by Eric Clapton from “Sessions for Robert J,” 2004.

“Down Home Blues” by Etta James from “The Right Time”, 1992

I didn’t get any results for Work, Improve or Better so I just shuffled for the next three songs…

“A Good Day For The Blues” by Storyville from “A Piece of Your Soul”, 1996

“I Won’t Stand In Your Way” by The Stray Cats from “Runaway Boys: A Retrospective: ‘81-’92, 1997

“Macon Hambone Blues” by Wet Willie from “Drippin’ Wet”, 1973
