i know the rest of you blase brown are probably so over it you’re ready to be in to it again, but because i didn’t play or hear Punjabi MC’s “beware of the boys” 1000 times over the last few years, i still get excited whenever i hear it in some unexpected place. like right before they do “the numbers” on marketplace. i just heard the unmistakable joint an hour ago, and i thought i was hallucinating, so i went to their website. there, i was delighted to find that they list all the songs used during each program…et voila:
Most Recent Listings 8/12/04
Beware of the Boys – Panjabi MC
The Shy Retirer – Arab Strap
Sun is Shining – DJ Krush
One Big Love – Patty Griffin

Arab Strap? i also saw Belle and Sebastian listed, and i confirmed that on June 24 of this year, they had indeed played my beloved Pixies. someone at marketplace has hot taste in music. 🙂
That Punjabi MC song was also recently featured on an episode of HBO’s Entourage. And last year, on ER. And probably countless other places I’m missing!
