And You May Tell Yourself "This Is Not My Beautiful Wife!"

The theme of this week's Jalpuna Radio playlist may make it a difficult one to listen to, but it might be one of the more interesting playlists for the same reason: it's a collection of songs that are more about what is spoken rather than what is sung.

Same As It Ever Was
01/12/09 - 01/18/09

1. That's Me Trying | William Shatner
   
2. Are You Lookin' At Me? | Colin Hay
   
3. Butterflies | Toad The Wet Sprocket
   
4. Once In A Lifetime | Talking Heads
   
5. Lullaby | Shawn Mullins
   
6. Earthless | Raine Maida
   
7. Belong | R.E.M.
   
8. Every Name Is My Name | Matthew Good
   
9. I'm Open | Pearl Jam
   
10. Somewhere Down The Crazy River | Robbie Robertson
    
11. My Heart Is a Flower | King Missile
    
12. It's Not What You Know | New Fast Automatic Daffodils
    
13. It Hasn't Happened Yet | William Shatner
    
14. I Am The Greatest | a House

The playlist more or less opens and closes with a pair of tracks from William Shatner's "Has Been" album, plus a final track from a House, whose I Am The Greatest album is one of my all time favorites. Truly a lost gem from the 90s.

Also noteworthy is a new one by Colin Hay, talking about his life as a musician, at one point referencing his time with the band Men At Work.

Oh... and the title to this post and playlist are from Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads.
