Random 10 for April 29, 2008
1. The Bird and the Bee, “Polite Dance Song.” From the B&B’s new EP, and further proof that David Lynch’s continual presence in Silverlake is having an effect on boho Los Angeles’ cultural output. Viva freaks!
2. Funkadelic, “Hit It and Quit It.”
3. Vampire Weekend, “Mansard Roof.”
4. Gruff Rhys, “Lonesome Words.”
5. Black Moth Super Rainbow, “Sun Lips.” Pittsburgh’s preeminent psych-rock band delivers gorgeous, Air-like synth ballad accompanied by a strange but oddly touching video featuring a couple of Animal Control officers on patrol. Love the improvised scuba suit.
6. Battles, “Atlas.”
7. The Budos Band, “Adeniji.”
8. Tegan and Sara, “The Con.”
9. Flight of the Conchords, “Bowie.”
10. Liam Finn, “Second Chance.” Much more placid clip than the previous two. No real mystery about this man’s lineage, given that his voice is a perfect amalgam of dad Neil and uncle Tim.
