Jason Koffman of Mpls submits three tunes that each have something to do with stuff above-the-neck today.

1) Frank Black, "Headache"
2) Low, "When I Go Deaf"
3) The Velvet Underground, "Pale Blue Eyes"

"Songs that ring inside your head," he says. "Get it? Head songs!"

He's already playing Macy's in the afternoon on Saturday, then the big Target Center show and now... The Aftershow show at First Ave !?!? Apparently the last time he played there, where he
filmed 'Purple Rain', was 1987!! Tix on sale at 3pm Saturday afternoon, one per person.

Best Songs of the Year...so far!

Posted at 8:50 PM on July 5, 2007 by Mark Wheat (36 Comments)

Two weeks ago we did a Musicheads where we discussed some of our favourite songs so far this year, and we got a lot of input from the regulars on the Musichead discussion page. So as we head into the second half of the year I thought I'd put together a Top 10 from staff and listeners suggestions, so far;

Mavis Staples "99 and a 1/2"
Cinematic Orchestra "To Build A Home"
LCD Soundsystem "Northern American Scum"
Fields "Song For The Fields"
Brother Ali "Truth Is..."
Ozomatli "Can't Stop"
Peter, Bjorn & John "Young Folks"
Amy Winehouse "Rehab"
Dr.Dog "Ain't It Strange"
Little Man "Out For Miles"

Thanks to Frick, soundscapem, Barb, Julia
and all the Musicheads crew!

What are we missing?
