Sound Check

So that big black box in at the top of the right-hand column is supposed to list the last ten songs I've listened to. You know, to prove my musical bona fides and, possibly, to inspire you to check out something you might not otherwise have heard.

But for the last month or more, all it's shown is a message saying "cruzich hasn't played any tracks recently," which is just a lie. I've been a music-playing fool, as I explore eMusic, read Idolator's round up of best-of-the-year lists, and hit up my friends and family for new music in the wake of the loss of Oink.

While I try to figure out why I can no longer Scrobble, here are some videos of what I've picked up, and been playing, recently:

The Manchester Orchestra, "Wolves at Night"



Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, "100 Days, 100 Nights"



Ray LaMontagne & Damien Rice, "To Love Somebody" (a long-time favorite)



Looker, "Master's Gone Away"



Benevento/Russo Duo, "Paranoid Android" (cover of the Radiohead song)



Imperial Teen, "Fallen Idol"
