DEAD CELEBRITY iTUNES PLAYLISTS: Cyril Connolly
"The Punisher" (Eric B. & Rakim): Makes me want to sit down and write a wry, aphoristic anti-novel.
"So What!!" (The Lyrics): Adding a harmonica to your intro is always a good call.
"God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)" (Randy Newman): Why would a guy capable of writing a song this hilarious and terrifying and perfect moonlight as Disney’s sweet little song boy? Oh yeah: money.
"2+2=5" (Radiohead): A kick-ass song from the band’s awfully weak last release. For those of us who prefer our pretend world to the real one.
"Boring Enormous" (Paul Westerberg): His albums aren’t very good (it’s okay to do a second take once in a while, Paul) but he’s still got a knack for the self-pitying sad sack routine.
"Step Into My Office, Baby" (Belle & Sebastian): Been pushing for a raise. Been pushing now for days.
"Where's the Orchestra?" (Billy Joel): So let’s say you put some Billy Joel on your iPod because your wife is a fan. And then let's further say you have the thing set on shuffle and this song comes up and ... well, you kind of like it. That’s fine, just don’t admit it. Ever.
"Dallas" (The Flatlanders): Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye. Also, Dallas sucks.
