No cat pics today?  Sad.  This will have to do.  Saw it on Cute OVerload this a.m It was the perfect, “God the economy sucks” antidote:

Love the Thin White Rope cover of Some Velvet Morning

This is random, because while my iPod is of above-average intelligence, it’s certainly not a genius (or rather, I can’t allow it ever to believe that it’s a genius—that would be a mistake of epic proportions):

Julie London - Cry Me a River
Sorry Bamba - Porry
X - 4th of July
3 Mustaphas 3 - Choufi Ghirou
Gyedu-Bley Ambolley - Fa No Dem Ara
Gor Mkhitarian - Godfather Tom
Latin Playboys - Cuca’s Blues
Tram 11 - Vrucina Gradskog Asfalta
Sonics - Psycho
Combustible Edison - Carnival of Souls

50% foreign language (plus one instrumental), which is good because 99.73246% of all lyrics are painfully stupid.

Declare Guerre Nucleaire—The Hives
(Don’t Fear) The Reaper—Blue Oyster Cult (demo version which I like better than the original)
The Biggest Lie—Husker Du (shortage of umlauts here, though)
Pink Turns to Blue—Husker DU
Neighborhood Threat—Iggy Pop
Grown So Ugly—Black Keys
Hear Me Out—Ben Kweller
Two Sides Politics—Suicidal Tendencies
Holier Than Thou—Metallica
Sahara Gold—Bruce Cockburn
