And I'm slacking already...  Usually I would get my list up first thing in the a.m. since I'd been doing it before school.  But, those days are over for a while and I'm going to rub it in...just a little.  It's 11:53 and yours truly just officially got up.

Anyway, you know the rules at this point.  Fire up that iPod and tell the blogosphere what's playing.  The first ten songs.  No skipping past or rationalizing the embarrassing tracks (even if it's Celine Dion!).  Afterwards you might want to entertain us with who you've seen live, and favs and least favs...

Here's the set:

1. Our Love (The Instigator) -- Rhett Miller
2. Chickenman (Rites of Passage) -- Indigo Girls
3. Box Full of Letters (A.M.) -- Wilco
4. Figaro (Mobius) -- Jeree Small
5. Ricochet in Time (Steady On) -- Shawn Colvin
6. The Fallen (You Could Have it So Much Better) -- Franz Ferdinand
7. Yesterday's Girl (Love and China) -- The Nields
8. New Slang (Garden State soundtrack) -- The Shins
9. Beverly Hills (Make Believe) -- Weezer
10. London Calling (Live: From Here to Eternity) -- The Clash

Random Comment: I love Rhett Miller.  And he seems like a total sweetheart.  He's also hot and is a snazzy dresser.  I dig the velvet duds he's sporting in The Believer photos...

Seen Live: Indigo Girls, Wilco, Shawn Colvin, The Nields

Majorly Enjoyed: "Our Love," "Box Full of Letters," Yesterday's Girl"
