Memphis Mystery Train Set List: Oct. 20, 2011

Here’s what I played on this week’s Memphis Mystery Train, with the local tracks marked with an asterisk and my notes in italics. Into the Control Room at WEVL, Memphis, Tenn. (You guys got lucky today. When I woke up this morning and looked at the playlist I had thrown together before I went to bed, I cringed and immediately deleted "Hungry Like the Wolf.) Elvis Costello - This Is Hell The Egyptians - Party Stomp *Mouserocket - Hello, Talk to Me The Clean - Tally Ho Wanda Jackson - Cash on the Barrelhead David Bowie - Oh! You Pretty Things Jens Lekman - I Saw Her at the Anti-War Demonstration Old 97s - Lonely Holiday (the happiest sounding song about depression ever) The English Beat - Save It for Later Silver Jews - Punks in the Beerlight The White Stripes - We Are Going to Be Friends The Four Preps - 26 Miles Detroit Cobras - My Baby Loves the Secret Agent Tom Waits - Way Down in the Hole Lou Barlow - Caterpillar Girl (by request, for Len) Arrah and the Ferns - Bundle Up The Hold Steady - Your Little Hoodrat Friend Flaming Lips - Fight Test Okkervil River - The President's Dead Devotchka - Something Stupid (We need more crooners.) *Sam the Sham - Love Me Like Before *Jack Oblivian - Girl on the Beach (Just out of Reach!) Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi *Cory Branan - Hell-Bent and Heart-First Magnetic Fields - I'm Sorry I Love You Sleeper Agent - Get It Daddy Love - Alone Again, Or *Scandaliz Vandalistz - Hey, Mr. Beifuss (Beifuss was in the studio before me this morning, so I thought it would be appropriate.) Sufjan Stevens - Henney Buggy Band Loretta Lynn - L-O-V-E Love Spoon - Me and the Bean Neko Case - The Next Time You Say Forever The Girls - Chico's Girl Best Coast - Happy *Carl Mann - Mona Lisa *Reigning Sound - Tennessee (state pride!) If you missed the Train today, you can catch it when it re-airs tomorrow (Friday) at 2 p.m. or every Thursday from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. on 89.9 FM in Memphis or online at wevl.org.

I've got a major Old 97s / Rhett Miller weakness left over from high school and college.
