"Playing with my head" with Sverrir Þórðarsson, my friend, the psych ward guy

It's been a long while since I upped one of these, but I'm glad it's back into rotation thanks to my old friend and good-taster Sverri, a.k.a. Leonardo DiCaprio in The Departed, The Beach, The Basketball Diaries and more). To refresh your memory, "Playing with my head" is where musicians, artists, connoisseurs and activists tell you about three releases occupying their minds this very moment.

Guided By Voices - The Official Ironmen Rally Song
First song's gonna be The Ofificial Ironmen Rally Song by the late grate Guided By Voices. This song is of off 1996's Under the Bushes Under the Stars. This album is a big favourite of mine and it has aged well. It's one of these albums that fits most moods and always subject to getting played any ol' time.


Madchild - Crazy
Canadian rapper Madchild from the hip hop group Swollen Members represents the second song here. The song is "Crazy" and is featured on Lawnmover Man, released this summer that just passed. The album contains a number of potential hits and as a whole, it's a diverse release. Not many artist do old school hip hop as well as this guy today. Madchild doesn't jump on trend wagons, but goes his own way. These days, albums don't get a repeat play as often as this one does!


The Jesus Lizard - Monkey Trick
Third and last song is a great tune from The Jesus Lizard of the album Goat that came out in 1991. Even though the album is more then twenty years old it's still amazing with every listen. With eleven tracks each one is better than the last one, which makes it difficult to pick just one. I chose "Monkey "Trick, turn it up and enjoy!
