The Killers- All These Things That I've Done

I loathe that Mr. Brightside song, so it's hard for me to get past this.

This is far less annoying than Mr. Brightside.

That isn't why I picked it, of course, but still.

The Murder City Devils - 'Idle Hands'

I saw MCD open for Pearl Jam in 1998. They were terrible.

Yeah, you know what? I didn't hate that.

the singer's voice was occasionally a bit too piercing, but I liked the music a lot

stip, answer my fucking question

it sounds vaguely familiar. In 2001 I was living alone, had a short commute in which I mostly listened to npr or mix cds, and it was pretty easy for me to avoid anything that I didn't gravitate to right away.

that song was everywhere

It's entirely possible to avoid a song that's "everywhere", as I was reminded by the new Weird Al album.

I graduated college in an era where I thought pop raido was really awful, MTV had fallen apart, and there wasn't effective internet for hearing about new music. I was pretty happy with the stable of artists I left college with. Plus I had just discovered Dan Bern and Tom Waits, and between the two of them I had about 500 songs to keep me busy for a while.
