Finest Worksong
So.. while I was planting all of that garlic, I had to pass the time somehow. The iPod was plugged into the truck stereo and thrown into shuffle play. Now, there really isn’t anything on my iPod that I wouldn’t want to hear, but there are definitely songs that seem to match the moment so perfectly. No…I don’t have any songs about planting garlic in my iPod, but there’s definitely songs that keep me moving forward and possibly make me work just a little faster.
To keep my day moving, I decided that I’d have a contest. The song that popped up on shuffle that pushed that “awesome” button in the best way would win. What would that artist win? A small bag of garlic for each band member. There were, of course, a couple of disqualifying points. The artist can’t be dead. The artist has to reside in North America. With all due respect to our European (and other) friends, I’m not messing with customs.
OK….so drumroll please. The winner is:
Yo La Tengo – Nothing to Hide
So, James McNew, Georgia Hubley, and Ira Kaplan your garlic awaits you. Now to track down an address…
Update: It looks like YLT are pretty solidly on tour until December. I’ll be sending the garlic to their PO Box then. Congratulations YLT.
