Spring Break
Listen up - it's summer
Summer sounds

3. Tom Waits - "Rain Dogs": His most bizarre, diverse and inspired album. Songs include a creepy Disney-like tune ("Singapore"), weepy country ("Blind Love"), a New Orleans funeral march ("Anywhere I Lay My Head") and a song Rod Stewart covered ("Downtown Train"). Selected lyric: "Well it's 9th and Hennepin/all the donuts have names that sound like prostitutes."
4. The Beastie Boys - "Paul's Boutique": Possibly the most lawsuit-inducing album of all time, due to its ubiquitous samples.
5. GZA - "Liquid Swords": The gilded age of the Wu-Tang Empire.
Five Reasons Why FM Radio is So Monotonous:
1. At any moment in the day, at least one station will be playing that new Coldplay single.
2. Despite their silken voices delivering deliciously informative stories, those NPR anchors really aren't very attractive in person. Otherwise they'd be on television.
3. It ensures that "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Witchy Woman" will live forever, much like Styrofoam plates or zombies. Meanwhile, Thin Lizzy tunes appear to be biodegradable.
4. I haven't heard one song by the Wu-Tang Clan on "Hot 103 Jamz!"
5. Contemporary country music ad nauseam.
