Waymorefunner Music Countdown – May 9, 2005

This week’s countdown is both lazy and impulsive in nature. Lazy because I decided on the top 10 in about 10 minutes. Impulsive because I turned over half of the songs on the list!

Click the play button here to listen to this week’s #1 (a song that was also #1 two weeks ago):

The five songs falling out of the countdown:

• Ashes – this song has been in the countdown for weeks, it was just time for it to move on
• Girl by Beck – just didn’t do it enough for me to stick around
• Mike Doughty – same deal, just got bored with it quickly
• Coldplay – the song is decent, but I think this is one of those cases where I was we all got OD’d on Coldplay over the last couple of years
• White Russian Galaxy – another song that’s been on the countdown for a while

New this week:

• Apply Some Pressure by Maximo Park – this song wavered between annoying and good the first time I heard it, now it’s completely growing on me
• Why Do You Love Me by Garbage – I’ve always liked Garbage, and this new tune of theres is really catchy
• Hwy 5 by John Doe & Neko Case – I’ve only recently discovered the amazingness that is Neko Case’s voice, any song she releases is gonna make this countdown
• Lyla by Oasis – the band is of the old school variety, the song is new and great
• Very Loud by Shout Out Louds – I’m really really loving this song right now, it’s catchy, fun, and all that

As usual, search around iTunes, Amazon or wherever, take a preview listen to these tracks and if you like ‘em, buy the tracks or the whole albums.
