Yay – love the podcast! I recommend it highly for general enjoyment AND as a boring-stats accompaniment! Will come back later with my next Top 5 – need to take my time in deciding those…
I can’t decide on an order, or on just 5, but here’s my contribution!
# Vehicles and Animals – Athlete
# Banana Pancakes – Jack Johnson (this could fit in the morning song category too, but it’s definitely a weekend lazy morning song, not a “have-to-get-to-work” song!)
# The World at Large – Modest Mouse
# The Remedy – Jason Mraz
# Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon – Queen (how could I NOT include this!)
# The Gold Finch and the Red Oak Tree – Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
# I don’t have a song for this, but you know the kind of music they would play in an old black-and-white sunday matinee movie… THAT!
Also want to second Waterloo Sunset!
ok, am done now!!
Definately agree with Jack Johnson – Banana Pancake (and also loads of his other songs – good morning songs too!!)
also agree with Waterloo sunset – the kinks
Jose Gonzalez – Crosses
Counting Crows – Sullivan Street
REM – the great beyond
Arcade fire – wake up (even though you already played it)
Newton Faulkner – all i got or dream catch me
Feist – 1234
Maroon 5 – Sunday Morning
I’ll back up Waterloo Sunset, but my topfive, again in no particular order are…
Damien Rice – Dogs
BellX1 – Rocky took a lover
Dire Straits – Romeo and Juliet
Innocence Mission – Bright as Yellow
Beatles- Blackbird
The Shins – New Slang
It would seem that that is my top six… Podcast is great!
Yeah waterloo sunset is defo there.
Top 5 in no order
Summertime – Nina Simone
What a wonderful world – Louis Armstrong
Lazing on a sunny afternoon – The Kinks (eh hello.. of course!)
Just a perfect day – either various artists or Lou Reed or Duran Duran but fave would be Lou Reed
Neon Bible – Arcade Fire
Oh one cheezy last one and I am slightly ashamed of this (my guilty pleasure) Mellow Yellow – Donovan
Hi Tom,
Great show, keep up the good work.
Here are my top five lounge-around-the-scratcher-’cos-it’s-raining-and-I-don’t-have-to-go-to-work-today songs:
1. The Sea and Cake – One Bedroom
2. Belle and Sebasian – Mornington Crescent
3. Nick Drake – Hazey Jane I
4. Primal Scream – Shine Like Stars
5. Yo La Tengo – Let’s Be Still
Hey Tom,
Great Podcast!
Here’s my five lazy Sunday songs:
Van Morrison – Madame George
Sufjan Stevens – Romulus
Polyphonic Spree – Days like this keep me warm
Aimee Mann – Mr. Harris
It’s Jo and Danny – The Sooner
It’s a strange mix but all have a unique staying-in, lazy Sunday feel, I think
Thomas,
My 5:
Soweto – Abdullah Ibrahim
A Century of Fakers – Belle & Sebastian
Here – Pavement
Watching the Wheels – John Lennon
Sometimes – My Bloody Valentine
Just stuff that’s nice to listen to while relaxing, simple as that.
Sittin on the Dock of the Bay – Otis Redding
Dreamin – Amos Lee
Wiskey & Wimmen – John Lee Hooker
Into the Mystic – Van Morrison
Dream a Little Dream – Mama Cass
There loads of songs that could easily slide in here – mostly motown/blues/soul based ones – so I literally picked 5 off the top of my head quickly. I’m sure I’ll want to make changes…
Good job on the podcast Tom. Although blaming Jane for “Walking on Sunshine” was low!
Right, this weeks ones:
1. Hand Clapping Song – Meters (there’s nothing like a bit of Funk on a lazy Sunday!)
2. This is the Dream of Win and Regine – Final Fantasy (cause he’s playing Dublin soon so he’s on my ipod)
3. Century of Fakers – Belle and Sebastian
4. Summersong – The Decemberists
5. Son of Sam – Elliott Smith
Ben Harper and Jack Johnson did a superb cover of High Tide or Low Tide by Bob Marley that fits too, but I think I’ll save that one for top 5 covers!
So hard to choose! Hmmm….
Ran for Miles – Gemma Hayes
Godless – Dandy Warhols
1234 – Feist
Sunday – Sia
Living Room – Tegan and Sara
This was difficult. It involved thinking.
Ok… here we go. I’m finally taking part.
From A to I – Jarvis Cocker
Sunday – Lucinda Williams
Gloomy Sunday – Billie Holiday
Sunday Morning – The Velvet Underground
Sunday – Bloc Party
Sunday Mornin Comin Down – Johnny Cash
I know its six but I couldn’t do JUST songs with Sunday in the title so I picked one Jarvis Cocker song about getting stoned because it just makes sense.
sleeping bag – beck
sophia – good shoes
someone great – lcd soundsystem
open up your heart – the rapture
somewhat off the way – dogs die in hot cars
dogs die in hot cars! I love them! saving them for the “top 5 great bands with silly names”
Waterloo sunset definitely!
apart from that:
Jose Gonzales – Heartbeats
Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
George Harrison – My sweet lord
Simon&Garfunkel – The Boxer
The Doors – Blue Sunday
somewhat off the way! definite sunday tune. ah thanks for that gem katie-lilga.
I decided to go for a Jazz theme
Herbie Mann – Memphis Underground
Herbie Hancock – cantolope island
Charlie Mingus – Better Git lit In your Sould
Miles Davis – So what
Dave Brubeck – Take five
Forgot Summertime by George Gershwin! That has to be on ANY list.
In no particular order, and liable to change from Sunday to Sunday:
Call and Answer – Barenaked Ladies
Love Song – Five For Fighting
New Colony – The Postal Service
True Colours – Eva Cassidy
Chicago – Sufjan Stevens
I have so many ‘honourable mentions’ too, but that’s not really in the spirit of a top 5 list, is it?
This is a tough one. Here goes.
Summertime – The Sundays
No Depression – Uncle Tupelo
Just Like That – The Connells
My Life is Totally Boring Without You Around – Cracker
Afternoon Delight – Starland Vocal Band
