If you live in LA, you may know about Indie 103's coup d'etat- one hour a week where an Indie listener gets to play 12 songs of their choosing and talk about all things not pertaining to the word "tits" (another blog, sorry)
If you have talked to me at all in the last five years, you know about my 'idiots"- the men in my life who are not my boyfriend (but perhaps should be)
The Idiots- a few of them more than others- have been tremendously influential in my life. My political views. My DVD collection. The stamps on my passport. The amount of time spent at the post office. The slow/rapid pickling of my liver. And of course: My taste in music. So here it is, Idiots; this is your list
12. Scissor Sisters- Filthy/ Gorgeous (Brooklyn Idiot)
11. Of Montreal- Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse (Roommate Idiot)
10. Presets- Are You the One? (Duchovny, the Should-Be Idiot)
9. Porterville- Humankind (Comic Book Idiot)
8. Hot Hot Heat- Not a Secret Now (Gay- But Han't Yet Admitted It- Idiot)
7. Kaiser Chiefs- Every Day I Love You Less and Less (Almost Married Idiot)
6. Cake- Arco Arena (Canadian Idiot)
5. The Fizzies- Smack Davis (Chorizo Idiot)
4. Dogs Die in Hot Cars- Paul Newman's Eyes (The Original Idiot)
3. Kooks- Do You Want to Make Love to Me? (Flying Idiot)
The pentultimate Idiot has requested, nay, demanded, that he not be referred to as an Idiot. Therefore these are the Cutlets cuts
2. The Leevees- Applesauce vs. Sour Cream
1. Gogol Bordello- American Wedding, but only because Think Locally, Fuck Globally can obviously not be played on the radio
Left off the list were the First Time Idiot (because he's really more of a schmuck) and the one, and only, boyfriend who had the BF title and thus could not be classified as an Idiot. There are stories that connect the Idiots to the songs. Stay tuned
