Green Eggs and Ham: Woah-lympics!


Ok, it's a week late. Or two. Ok, it's two weeks late. I've been busy, I guess?
Two weeks ago, I did the closest thing to recognizing the quadrennial Olympiad on the show: playing songs as loosely associated with sport as USA Today is with journalism.  See if you "get" how each song fits! It's like a game! The Rah Rah song "Arrows" is pretty straightforward, as Archery is an Olympic sport, but there might be a few stumpers. Here's the playlist:

Silkken Laumann - "On The Mend"
Tokyo Police Club - "Breakneck Speed" (Andy Rourke Remix)
Vampire Weekend - "Run"
Echo Lake - "Swimmers"
Patrick Watson - "Swimming Pools"
Real Estate - "Pool Swimmers"
Rah Rah - "Arrows"
Bidiniband - "Big Men Go Fast On The Water"
Hollerado - "What's Everybody Running For (Part II)"
Austra - "Darken Her Horse"
Zulu Winter - "We Should Be Swimming"
The Ruby Suns - "Olympics On Pot"
Fuck Buttons - "Olympians"
Broken Social Scene - "Meet Me In The Basement"
Miike Snow - "Paddling Out"
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "Bicycle"
Giorgio Moroder Project - "To Be Number One"
Wolf Parade - "You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son"
Winter Gloves - "Jump"
The Super Friendz - "Karate Man"
The Meters - "Funky Miracle"
Javelin - "Doug Flutey"
Kurt Vile - "Runner Ups"

Green Eggs and Ham: It Ain't Over


Sure. Life gets in the way. I've somehow gone from posting plenty of "interesting" and varying types of things here, to just posting playlists, to doing even that super late. Sorry. Whoah. Rest assured that I'm going to shape it up, though it's summer so that rest is bound to be difficult to achieve what with sweat, heat and all that stuff. But try and get some sleep. Do it for me, will ya? I don't like it when you're all irritable and whatnot.
